Oliver and Roy's journey to Lian Yu proves fruitful as the pair get the blood sample they need from Slade Wilson in order to fight the latest Mirakuru-powered madman with a grudge against Oliver walking the streets of Starling City.
The issue does offer another confrontation between Oliver and Slade, while teasing Ollie's return with Thea to the island in Season Three's "The Return," but given his continued imprisonment in the A.R.G.U.S. facility his appearance is rather short and mostly uneventful.
The rest of Arrow Season 2.5 #10 deals with events back in Starling involving Caleb Green's (who sadly is a far less interesting character than Slade) short encounter with Laurel Lance (which, as intended, drives Oliver crazy). The issue also spends time filling in the gap between Season Two and Season Three to help explain how Quentin Lance became Starling City's newest Police Captain. The first-half of the issue works better than the second (each was released previously as digital-first issues), but fans can still find some enjoyment here. For fans.
