     This is the critique I sent to J.T. Krul. Enjoy:Hi, again. This is the last e-mail critique I’ll be sending to you involving “Rise” of Arsenal. This is all I can say about #4 in terms of a critique, and the series in general.“Roy (Chasing Electrocutioner in Star City Penitentiary): You can't escape me Lester. You know what you did.
