Green Arrow – Island of Scars | Comics

After an epic encounter with the Ninth Circle on their giant ship The Inferno, Green Arrow, Black Canary, John Diggle and Emi Queen managed to wreck down the massive ship into the ocean. Emi was taken by her mother Shado to the Yakuza, to whom, she owes a blood debt and was acting as their double agent.

As she berates Emi, she recalls her time in Seattle with her brother Oliver Queen, their training and her social life. In flashback, it was shown how she came on contact with the villainous Clock King and how it effected her. Emi argues with her mother about her not belonging to the Yakuza leader Oyabun, just as her adopted father Komodo.

She eventually manages to ditch her mother and draws Oyabun's attention in a Karaoke Nightclub by winning a fight. Ollie washed up on the shore on a lone island all by himself. It's been days that he was there and he suddenly stumbled into a bear while hunting for food.

Upon evading it, he came across Dinah Drake, which he thought was a dream. Later at night, Diggle was attacked by the bear and was abducted to a secret laboratory, ran by a woman named Ana, who's got half of her face burnt.

As soon as Ollie and Dinah realize what happened, they go looking for Diggle but found some more connections to the Ninth Circle. Together, they trashed the facility and hopped onto Empire Express, an under-ocean train carrying intercontinental delegates. Arrow, Canary and Diggle team up one more time to stop the vile mercenary Eddie Fyers from killing everyone on board.

Green Arrow – The Death and Life of Oliver Queen | Comics

Returning from a usual sour date, Oliver Queen hands out some money to a homeless kid and his mother on his way back home. As the dollar bill flew from his hands, the boy's mother goes to get it while telling the boy to stay put but then got mysteriously abducted. That night, when a hooded figure was taking the kid from street, an arrow hits the nearby wall and Seattle's very own vigilante hero Green Arrow reveals himself to the stranger.

After a brief scuffle between them, the mysterious person turns out to be another vigilante hero Black Canary and they both takes the kid to Oliver Queen's apartment for some nourishment. The boy tells them that the Underground Men have took his mom and the duo then took him to a homeless campsite called "The Jungle" to meet his father. The Underground Men strikes again to kidnap more homeless people as Arrow and Canary follow their trail to discover a secret underground human auction in progress.
