The stress of running a multibillion-dollar corporation and being the guardian of Star City has frayed Oliver Queen's last nerve. When he encounters the genetically modified triplets known as 'Skylark' during a mission, Queen, entranced by their beauty and the new techonology they give him, agrees to meet their 'father' King Leer. King Leer's fortress, buried deep within a frozen moutainside, hides the true nature of his work, genetically modifying animals of all species--including humans--in order to take over the world. His work is funded by the gold mine he has seized and rules the native people through starvation by polluting the environment. Can Oliver Queen stop King Leer before he releases his creations upon the world, or will he end up as one of Leer's experiments?
Ollie begins a downward spiral as he slowly loses everything! Betrayed and alone after the loss of Q-Corps, can the Emerald Archer hold on to his arsenal?

This collection of new essays focuses on The CW network's hit television series Arrow--based on DC Comic's Green Arrow--and its spin-offs The Flash, DC's Legends of Tomorrow and Supergirl. Comic book adaptations have been big business for film studios since Superman (1978) and in recent years have dominated at the box office--five of the 11 highest grossing films of 2016 were adapted from comics. Superheroes have battled across the small screen for considerably longer, beginning with The Adventures of Superman (1952-1958), though with mixed results. The contributors explore the reasons behind Arrow's success, its representation of bodies, its portrayal of women, its shifting political ideologies, and audience reception and influence on storylines.
