Arrow Season 2.5

I own the first 2 editions to the Arrow tie in books as well. I have to say this one is by far my favorite. I love how they included characters that we generally miss on the show. I loved Digg's story line because i think it's relevant to our society today. I feel this book does a great job with the illustrations I definitely prefer them over the first two volumes. There are a lot of unanswered questions that will get answered by these stories simple ones, but that's something. For example, does Felicity ever get the bottle of wine she's promised? How does Roy Harper get his suit? or Who was the first person to put in Oliver's head to try and get Queen Consolidated back? A lot of people we've missed make an appearance in this volume and I think some of them are here purposely in order to set up for season four. The banter is well-written. I suggest if you like the first two volumes to try this one.

I bought all the issues in digital format as they were released every other week last year so when this anthology collection came out, I knew I had to grab it. This was a fabulous story and the Brother Blood/Felicity Smoak kidnapping storyline in it was totally the best part. If you love Arrow, its action, adventure, danger and romance? You have to buy this anthology.

It answered a lot of questions about season 3 premiere that I had. It also helped me understand the motives behind season 3 and why they did what they did. Great book I recommend it to everyone who loves the TV show. Also those who just like a good story.

Very good graphic novel, art is amazing and great storyline

Arrow comics are great fillers of the show. Being a fan of the show it's nice to read the stories between the episodes.

Perfect

Good product

I really enjoy my copy of Arrow season 2.5. In my city, Bologna, it's still unavailable! It's my first comic but the best for sure!

While previous volumes of the "Arrow" tie-in comics were a series of short one-shots, "Season 2.5 is significantly more substantial, with 3 full length stories that ultimately thread together (mostly) and feels like a very true intervening segment between seasons 2 and 3 of Arrow.The book is split into three sections: Blood, Crisis in Kahndaq, and Green. Each one builds upon an existing piece of the Arrow mythos in a meaningful way and really sets the stage for how Season 3 begins, filling in a lot of blanks that are left in between. We see Roy become Arsenal, the first appearance of the new Count Vertigo, complete with Fear toxin knock-off drug, and the aftermath of the Mirakuru soldiers' attack on Starling.The characterisation is pretty much dead-on and, much moreso than any of the previous tie-ins, feels like it truly could have been a missing episode (or episodes) of the show. The art is also consistently good, if not anything particularly special, but I have become so used to completely phoned-in artwork for tie-ins that Joe Bennett's stuff really shines here, though the Crisis in Kahndaq chapter is drawn by Szymon Kudranski; a different, more gritty looking style which suits the story it tells.If you can only get one "Arrow" tie-in, make it this one; it's by far the best of the bunch and even works as a stand alone, although it will massively improve your enjoyment of the story if you've seen "Arrow" Season 2.

Fantastic addition to the series if you like to know what happens in the 5-6 months between each season. Picks up a few weeks or so after the events of the Season 2 finale, explores some characters that were introduced in Season 2 such as Brother Blood and the fallout of that, and introduces some characters such as Ra's al Ghul for Season 3. Also touches on the budding romance between Oliver and Felicity which is always fun. The artwork isn't the best and sometimes a bit sloppy in some scenes but overall this was a lot of fun to read.

great product thanks!

This graphic novel contains three different titles and I would say they all are quite good. As the title suggest these 3 stories are of the time between season 2 and 3. I liked the way writes have fitted in all 3 stories between the seasons and their relevance in both the season. Every story feels natural and linked the two seasons, nothing is forced but the best part is all 3 stories have different dimensions yet they all are connected. These stories give few answers raised in TV series itself, for exp. whether felicity got that whine bottle or not that Oliver promised her in season 1 , How and why Roy got his Arsenal suit even the story behind Oliver's bunk-bed in Arrow cave. Apart from these the book also explains few knows facts from season 3 in more detail, such as how Malcolm targeted SARA, how Oliver even got a chance to have his company back etc.As I mentioned earlier there are 3 stories by the titles "Blood", "Suicide Squad" and "Green". As the titles suggest first story is the story revolves around arising of a new BrotherBlood after Sebastian Blood and the second one is an adventure of Suicide Squad. The third story is with a new villain altogether still it's linked with the TV series and the first story of the graphic novel itself. All three stories are gripping and the artwork in all the stories is quite good. It symbolized the actual TV characters' appearance yet unique in it's own way.Overall if you are an arrow TV series fan you'll surely not be disappointed with this.

By far the most entertaining of the three volumes available... & the first two were pretty good. Season 2.5 is very well written, with plots & subplots unfolding at a frenetic pace & the witty banter we've come to expect from the TV show filling each panel. The artwork, too, is much improved. What I like most is how the graphic novels fill the gaps between episodes. Here, we learn how & why Roy received his Arsenal costume, how Oliver Queen tried & failed to regain control of Queen Consolidated, the reason behind Quentin Lance's promotion to police captain & more. Highly recommended!
