In my opinion Percy's Rebirth run is the best Green Arrow run ever, 6 volumes of greatness

@GjordDeLad05 5 жыл бұрын

Yeah It was awesome... Rebirth definitely the best Green Arrow story in my book, Schmit & Feyrerra ( sorry if I misspelled ) arts also what makes it so good. I enjoyed Bensons sister run as well despite the arts, too bad it was sort lived.

Judd Winick's run is criminally underappreciated. Month after month of solid storytelling, giving us an Arrow family dynamic that stands up to anything before or since. I particularly like the issue where Connor and Roy had a night off and decided to paint the town together (Roy took them to a strip club, Connor took them to a cool indie book store, and they stopped a convenience store robbery together using their different M.O.'s). Just a really good character issue.

the Judd Winnick run immediately after the Archer's Quest that builds on the Smith and Meltzer stuff is really good as well. Green Arrow is my favorite superhero, and I feel like if a script could capture the actual character we've seen in the comics, not just broody batman analog man, (not Amell's fault, that tv show is poorly written) a pretty great movie could be made about angry self righteous social justice eco warrior Ollie.

In the Silver Age, GA's only major post 1964 new stories were in the JLA (and a couple of B&B Team-ups). He was redesigned by Neal Adams in B&B # 86 in 1969 and Denny O'Neil made him a key figure starting in JLA # 75.

I generally don't have problem with hero deaths and resurrection. After all "hero never dies" ;D What I consider as problem though is when heros die for cheap shocking value and are resurrected immediately after that. If hero end his journey he should end it in epic way (and not like Ted Kord) and where he is resurrected is during legit reboot, not immediately after event.

@kcollier2192 5 жыл бұрын

I tend to think that eventually characters have to die - after all, it will be several generations since WWII- just how long can Steve Rogers BE Captain America? If you want to revive a hero revive their legacy but let someone else become that hero (Terry McGinnis in Batman Beyond for example).

I actually only read this run simply because I'm fan of Kevin Smith both on his podcast Fatman on Batman and his comedy special Silent but Deadly. That being said would definitely be down to watch a Green Arrow movie by Smith. Perhaps rework Escape from Super Max for the DCEU mix the return of Oliver Queen with Suicide Squad.

Green Arrow was (is?) my favorite character. What damn reboot did to him is what finally made me quit buying DC, and eventually comics altogether. What made GA special? His personality. His many flaws. He was undoubtly heroic, but also so very capable of letting people down. That made him interesting, made him stand out in a world of paragons. What the hell was that New 52 shithead? I couldn't stand him! For DC to whipe the slate clean like that, that was the stupidest thing they could've done. They lost me, probably forever. The way things are looking it seems I wasn't the only one.

@ii3lazelordz267 5 жыл бұрын

New 52 was terrible on SO many levels. All of Batman's history happning in the span of five years(meaning he had one Robin per year, lol) Green Arrow being trash, GA/BC not being canon, the first Teen Titans being formed by Tim Drake (TF?). But Ollie got MUCH better once Rebirth came along

@mikaelolofsson2852 5 жыл бұрын

Amany Ekongolo Bebe Agreed. As a kid it was Marvel all the way, I had very little use for DC. But when I grew up that changed. Because in DC you could feel the weight of history in a way I felt you couldn't in Marvel. DC's story spanned generations. They did away with their greatest strength! I've heard Rebirth is good, but they probably would have to put everything back more or less the way it was to bring me back.

@@mikaelolofsson2852 I still have no clue why they don't bring the Justice Society back, they keep teasing them, but they never go all the way.
