This was a reread for me, and I think I loved it even more on second reading. Green Arrow is one of my favorites, maybe my absolute favorite of the DC lot, and this depiction of his origin is flawless.
I've started to look at retellings of superhero origins as something akin to Shakespearean productions - not that they're similar in style, but in the sense that you know the basic story you're going to get, so you have to learn to look for the nuances and individual differences of each version.
From that perspective, this was a lot of fun to read. Diggle and Jock make a great team, and there are enough callouts to moments from Ollie's history throughout that it's clear that they're fans of the character.
