Green Arrow

If there is one character who rivals my love for Cap it's Green Arrow. When I was a kid one of the few movies allowed in the house was the Adventures of Robin Hood, starring Errol Flynn. I would run around in the yard screaming gibberish with a stick slinging pretend arrows at everything that moved. To this days it's still my favorite film. My love for the legend of Robin Hood is a vast thing now and I enjoy reading on it, I've always noticed Green Arrow but I must admit that until this past Christmas, aside from gifts from confused family members, all I ever got was Marvel comics. In my adult life, now the ripe age of 27, I finally started to consider DC and it's rich history of comics and so asked for the DC Showcase of GA as a gift. Now I'm hooked. I've been reading this guy like crazy and loving every minute. I love his cause, that want for those who are in need. His prime directive that the little guy needs help too is such a heart-warming thing. I don't like where the book is today, since the relaunch, I prefer the humbled Oliver Queen not this new-fangled GA. He's become Connor Hawke and I don't like that. Anyway, my jerk thoughts aside, I really do love this character. His costume is amazing and in the end the fact that he IS a modern Robin Hood draws me in like a moth to flame. I hope they fix his New 52 representation. Maybe take away this Q-Core crap by having his millions vanish and lead into a long story of him trying to get by and become hardened just like Dennis O'Neil in Justice League. Only time will tell but until then, I'll stick to the old and love this character for the awesome that is Green Arrow.
