Quiver with fear 2
Oliver Queen got the short end of the stick over the course of the reboot. One of the few characters to get a complete overhaul at the end of flashpoint, Green Arrow stopped being the brash, loud-mouthed, swash-buckling commie bastard we knew and loved and instead was made to line up more with his Smallville counterpart, in order to appeal to newer readers I suppose. This left him in a bit of a pickle. Sales actually dropped below pre-52 levels, and terrible reviews and creative team shifts plag...

Green Arrow #17 Review 0
***SPOILER FREE REVIEW***I can easily say that was the best issue of I've read of the New52 Green Arrow. Admittedly, the competition before this issue was rather mediocre, but it cannot hide one simple fact: The new creative team of Lemire and Sorrentino is something to get very excited about.This comic reminds me alot of Nightwing #16, which is great, as I greatly enjoyed that issue as well. In the first issue penned by Jeff Lemire, we see Green Arrow's world being drastically altered, creating...

The Good: Most people will go into this issue because of Jeff Lemire, but Andrea Sorrentino does an amazing job. His artwork is very similar to that of Tim Sale and it just makes everything about this issue better. The simplistic nature of every panel does a great job at conveying the plot, but also gives it a very dark tone that will please a lot of fans. The coloring also makes this issue so much better. The majority of the colors are dark and mild, but when the red and white enter the panel, ...

Green Arrow #17 0
PREFACE:This is my first review of a non Bat included title, so I am glad that I am expanding and I would love to keep trying out some other awesome comics that are out right now. But I have occasionally glimpsed through this series to see how the Emerald Archer is doing, and I was extremely disappointed. I was about to buy the 0 issue to see how his new origin panned out, and I couldn't bring myself to even use that as toilet paper let alone reading material. BUT this is a good sign for Ollie, ...

Reboot the reboot! 0
I started reading Green Arrow from #1 and stuck with it for a few issues but never really got into the series as a whole. I saw that Jeff Lemire was the new writer for the book at 17 and decided to pick it up, and I'm VERY glad I did. Not only does the artist from I, Vampire make this book look absolutely fantastic but smoothly pulls together the story.The Good: Reading this issue, you really don't need to know much about the character except maybe origin which is pretty well known already. It s...

Finally a Serious Series 1
I've been a fan of Green Arrow for a few years now, and quite enjoyed the pre-New 52 series. I have read the first few issues of this series written by J. T. Krul, but didn't feel like catching up after reading the negative comments about Ann Nocenti's run, and after reading her Catwoman run so far I can truly believe it. So when I heard that a new creative team was joining I was hoping for good things, and after hearing good things about Jeff Lemire's previous work I though I'd give it a try, a...

An Arrow Darkly 1
Yes. Thank you so much, DC. This is.... this is beyond what I ever would have expected from Green Arrow. This instantly surpasses every other Green Arrow story I've ever read; though to be fair I haven't read a whole lot. Jeff Lemire has done a phenomenal job at making this a true 'Issue #17' that launches off what's come before without truly tying itself down to it. You don't need to have read the first 16 issues, which is good because they suck hard, but it doesn't negate their existence. This...
