The Rundown: Dinah learns of another secret Oliver was hiding as her investigation takes a dark turn.

Dinah is having nightmares about Oliver after discovering something dark in his abandoned base. As she continues her work with Merlyn and Hammond she continues to have misgivings about the men even as she gets more information about Oliver and his connection the killer they are hunting.

The biggest break in the case so far happens when she discovers that Oliver has a son named Connor Hawke who has recently comes to Star City. After tracking the young man down, she confronts him before both of them are attacked by the Green Arrow before he escapes. An attack that will lead to another discovers involving someone close to Oliver Queen.

The Story: Pichetshote crafts a dark, thrilling adventure in this issue. It’s a great follow up to the first issue and I love that the story is centered on Dinah. She has a unique perspective on events as well as the people around them and I like that she is challenged by everyone around her as well as her own thoughts about Oliver. There are some really dark and engaging moments throughout this issue and some shocking ones that make me excited to see what happens next.

The Art: Albuquerque creates some brilliant art throughout the issue. I love the visual style of this series and the dark character designs as well as the visual horror.
