Matthew Clark Knihy

PRAVDA BUDE ODHALENA Heroická. Ikonická. Nezastavitelná. Vyzbrojená svým Lasem pravdy a prostoupená mocí samotných bohů je princezna Diana z Themysciry, kterou svět zná jako Wonder Woman, jedním z největších superhrdinů historie. Ale kým je ve skutečnosti? Ani sama Wonder Woman to s jistotou neví. V koutech její mysli se skrývají vzpomínky na život, který nikdy nežila, a přesto ve svém srdci cití, že jsou skutečné. A co je nejotřesnější, nemůže najít cestu na Themysciru, mýtický ostrov Amazonek. Přestože je před vnějším světem skrytý, byla jí cesta vedoucí k domovu vždy otevřená... a teď zmizela, možná jednou provždy! Naneštěstí je na světě jen jediná osoba disponující znalostmi, které by ji mohly dostat zpět na ostrov: její největší nepřítel, divoká zvířecí žena Cheetah. Povede se nečekanému spojenectví vnést světlo pravdy mezi Dianina nejtemnější tajemství, nebo je pohřbí - a Dianu s nimi navěky?

Oliver Queen ví, jaké to je, když jste obyčejným chlápkem s lukem a šípy stojícím po boku bohů a hrdinů v Lize spravedlnosti. Ví, jaké to je, když se vám podaří přešlap – musíte se pak dát znovu dohromady a pak ho odčinit. Ale v poslední době napáchal až příliš mnoho chyb, které je zapotřebí napravit. Od pomoci zemi zničené válkou, kterou mohl zastavit, až po opětovné polapení Parasita, který unikl jeho dohledu. Ollie se po selhání vždycky znovu srovná, stejně jako tětiva… ale tentokrát přecenil své síly až příliš. Po smrti kamaráda Roye Harpera se chová čím dál zbrkleji. Je nepředvídatelný. A teď se vláda rozhodla, že by měl pověsit kostým Green Arrowa na hřebík. Jenže Ollie se nevzdá jen tak. A proto si vláda pro podobný úkol zvolila jedinou osobu, proti níž nechce bojovat. Co udělá Green Arrow, když mu Black Canary řekne, že nastal čas odložit luk nadobro… nebo bude čelit následkům? Příběh Green Arrowa končí v tomto souboru z pera JACKSONA LANZINGA a COLLINA KELLYHO (GOTHAM CITY GARAGE) a MAIRGHREAD SCOTTOVÉ (BATGIRL) a kreslíře JAVIERA FERNANDEZE (NIGHTWING), MARCIA TAKARY (DETECTIVE COMICS) a MATTHEWA CLARKA (LIGA SPRAVEDLNOSTI).
