Green Arrow reveals Star City’s imminent destruction and the shocking hero behind it

Green Arrow just learned he’ll eventually destroy Star City in a shocking interaction with Parallax.

The current run of Green Arrow has put Ollie further from his family than ever before. Despite reintroducing Roy Harper’s daughter, Lian, and bringing Ollie’s son, Hawke, back into the fold, the family has been separated on a journey throughout time.

Most recently, Green Arrow found himself stranded in the future with Lian and Hawke when he learned his family was being displaced by tech implanted in their heads. The revelation brought him face-to-face with the person responsible for his displacement: Parallax.

Fans have been waiting eagerly to find out why Parallax would displace Oliver through time. The answer may not be what anyone expected, and it certainly has dark implications for the future of Green Arrow.

Ollie had already found out he was responsible for the arrangement that kept his family displaced via a message from his future self, but Parallax’s involvement was a surprise. For Green Arrow to ally with the evil version of his best friend, Green Lantern, would mean he was incredibly desperate.

Green Arrow #4 reveals that Ollie may have made the right call. Parallax takes him to a destroyed Star City, revealing that Green Arrow will be responsible for its eventual destruction.
