I know that people often like to make fun of Kevin Smith. However, this particular work actually contains some really good writing.

Although it is presented within the framework of some rather mediocre humor, for the most part, it is simply a fine superhero story.

The characters are well-developed, and the plot has enough twists and turns to keep the reader engaged.

Despite the flaws in the humor, the overall quality of the writing shines through.

It shows that Kevin Smith is capable of creating something that is both entertaining and thought-provoking.

Perhaps people should look beyond the surface-level humor and give his work the credit it deserves.

After all, a good story is a good story, regardless of how it is packaged.

I'll be late to the party, but better than never, I guess.

I thought this was very well written, but not that good.

You know, sometimes we have expectations about something, and when we finally experience it, it doesn't quite meet those expectations.

Maybe it's because our standards are too high, or maybe the thing itself just didn't live up to the hype.

In this case, I was looking forward to the party, but being late kind of put a damper on things.

And when I read whatever it was that I thought was well written but not that good, it was a bit of a letdown.

But that's life, I suppose. We can't always get what we want, and we have to learn to make the best of what we have.

So even though I was late to the party and didn't love what I read, I'm still going to try to have a good time and keep an open mind.

Oliver Queen returns from the dead and resumes his activities.

While they are still investigating the reason for his resurrection, Oliver, who was absent for a long time due to his death, wastes no time and begins to observe the changes that the city has undergone in his absence.

Together with Connor (his biological son and the current Green Arrow II), and Roy Harper (adopted son, the first Speedy and the current Red Arrow or Arsenal), he combats crime and rescues a girl named Mia Dearden, who will become another adopted daughter and later, further on, will take on the mantle of Speedy.

Undoubtedly, this is a great series that will keep its reader highly entertained and eagerly awaiting the next issue. This series made me more interested in this character, and if we add the TV series Arrow, well, one starts to connect the dots...

It's fascinating to see how Oliver's story unfolds after his resurrection. The addition of new characters like Connor and Mia brings fresh dynamics to the team. Their interactions and adventures make for an exciting read.

The series also does a great job of exploring the themes of redemption, family, and responsibility. Oliver has to come to terms with his past actions and find a way to make amends while also protecting the city he loves.

Overall, this is a must-read for fans of the Green Arrow and superhero comics in general. It offers a thrilling and engaging story that will keep you on the edge of your seat from start to finish.

Sooo my copy of this has a chunk that is repeating and I'm assuming a chunk that is missing.

It's a bit frustrating as it disrupts the flow of the story. However, despite this issue, the overall story is still great.

The plot is engaging and keeps me hooked from the beginning. The characters are well-developed and have their own unique personalities.

But there does seem to be some backstory that I wasn't aware of. It makes me curious and makes me want to know more about the characters and their pasts.

I hope that in the future, the author can clarify or expand on this backstory to make the story even more complete.

Overall, I still enjoy reading this story and look forward to seeing how it progresses.

Snootchie motherlovin’ bootchies, what a fucking shitshow the first volume of Silent Bob’s Green Arrow was!

Ollie Queen’s dead, he’s not dead, he’s sorta dead, there’s another Green Arrow, there’s still another one – who can fucking follow, let alone care?! In TEN absurdly overwritten issues, it takes Kevin Smith an age to get around to producing anything resembling a story. And when he does, it’s somehow even more boring than the meandering nothing that preceded it.

I grew up in the ‘90s, so I remember Smith being talked about in the same breath as other auteur writer/directors like Quentin Tarantino. Tarantino’s scripts were notable for their snappy dialogue. I even thought that was an apt comparison. However, I don’t know whether Smith’s movies like Mallrats or Dogma stand up today as well as the timeless Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction do. I suppose the fact that I’ve been repeatedly drawn back to, and continued to enjoy, Tarantino over the years and become completely indifferent to Smith from my late teens on is an indication that they won’t.

It looks like the DC editors also believed the press about Smith’s sparkling banter because he’s been allowed to go hog-wild with the dialogue here. But none of it is worth reading. The pages are overflowing with waffly chatter, little of it interesting, remotely funny, clever, or relevant to what’s happening in the scene. My heart sank every time I turned the page to be confronted with yet another mass of tedious text-filled word balloons to fruitlessly slog through.

Smith has more interest in cramming in dreary references to convoluted DC canon, shit jokes, and tired pop culture bon mots than advancing any kind of semi-compelling plotline. This makes for a frustratingly static and dull read – unless you find Smith’s dated ‘90s-style of writing wildly entertaining, which, unfortunately, I don’t anymore. But the feeble story is as badly-dated as Smith’s writing and Phil Hester’s unappealing blocky art. Unless you’re already familiar with this era of DC history, you’re likely to be lost in the weeds as to why Ollie’s return is a Big Deal in the first place, let alone how and when he died, why Aquaman’s got a hook-hand, or what Hal Jordan’s doing as The Spectre (not to mention Superman’s horrendous mullet!).

It’s basically one big pointless sprawling nostalgia trip for Smith as he recounts dull, obscure DC history. Considering how fairly straightforward the story turns out to be, the sheer number of gratuitous subplots was especially convoluted and laborious. The instantly forgettable villain does the clichéd villain trope of monologuing his entire life story and motivations at the end before the underwhelming finale puts a grateful kibosh to the misery.

A boring comic to struggle through from baffling beginning to thankful end, Green Arrow, Volume 1: Quiver is a horrendous read that completely fails to hit the target of anything resembling a decent comic. You’ll wish Ollie had stayed dead long before you reach the last page!

It's kinda fascinating. There are some really good Kevin Smith witticisms that add a touch of humor and charm. However, there's also some weird existential non-sense that makes you scratch your head.

Moreover, I didn't have enough background info on what was going on in the DCU at the time. This lack of context made it a bit difficult to fully understand and appreciate certain aspects of the story.

Despite these drawbacks, there was still something about it that kept me engaged. Maybe it was the unique combination of elements or the way Kevin Smith presented his ideas.

Overall, it was an interesting experience, but it could have been even better with a bit more clarity and background information.

I really enjoyed reading this comic, but it also includes a lot of elements that I least like about Comics.

The introduction of Oliver Queen seems rather arbitrary, as if the author just decided to do it without much thought. To truly understand and follow the story, one needs to have knowledge of the past events and the backgrounds of other characters.

However, despite these drawbacks, I still found myself enjoying the comic and I will definitely check out the sequel. In the story, GA/OQ is quite passive, with a lot of things happening to him. This, in turn, allows for some fun moments from other universe members such as Batman, Jason Blood/Etrigan, Aquaman, and others, which provide some pleasant surprises.

Personally, I'm not a big fan of the art style, but I can understand why others might like it. I don't particularly like the way GA looks like Robin Hood with a recurve bow and now has some form of protection.

P.S. I think the best thing about the New 52 was GA's look with modern tech, even though he's not a tech-based hero. It gave him a unique and contemporary feel.

Vuelve a la vida el Gran Oliver Queen!!! The original Green Arrow (I prefer Connor though). Although it was fixed that he had died in a plane explosion, confirmed by Superman himself. So, who is this guy?

The good thing is that the script has a classic structure. The dialogues are the best that Kevin Smith has left, and they leave you with a smile, like the encounter between Oliver and Aquaman and the Justice League, and the last chapter with Batman being Batman. And the art of Phil Hester, as always, is powerful and dynamic, although there are some forced panels. I like that aura of mystery that exists, even if one knows where the shots are going.

The bad thing is that there is a lot of surprise on the part of everyone for something that happens all the time, extremely long soliloquies. The time-displaced work of Arthur is kind of comical - stupid, and one knows that it won't last. And there are scenes that are pitiful, like the girl's entrance into the luxury apartment and the senseless fight against Black Mantha... meh.

This is a truly remarkable piece that has a great story filled with moments of great humor.

As you read through it, you can vividly hear Kevin Smith's voice throughout the narrative. It's as if he is right there in front of you, telling you the story in person.

The way the story unfolds is engaging and captivating, keeping you hooked from beginning to end. The humorous elements add an extra layer of entertainment, making it not just a story but an enjoyable experience.

Whether you are a fan of Kevin Smith or just someone who loves a good story with a touch of humor, this piece is definitely worth reading. It has the power to transport you into a world of laughter and excitement, leaving you with a smile on your face and a memorable experience.

So, sit back, relax, and let Kevin Smith's voice guide you through this wonderful story.

Having never read a Green Arrow book before, this was definitely an interesting experience for me. I also have a great love for Kevin Smith, which probably influenced my perception of this book to a large extent. In this particular volume, Green Arrow is literally given the opportunity to begin his life anew. It will be truly fascinating to observe what he does with this chance as the series progresses. Will he make the most of it and turn over a new leaf, or will he struggle to adapt to this new beginning? Only time will tell. I am eager to see how the story unfolds and what adventures Green Arrow will embark on in his new life.

Not having read the Green Arrow before was not a hindrance at all. The story presented was truly captivating, filled with thrilling plot twists and engaging characters. The dialogues were equally amazing, adding depth and authenticity to the narrative. Whether you are a die-hard fan of superhero comics or just someone who enjoys a good adventure, this comic is highly recommended. It offers a unique and exciting experience that will keep you on the edge of your seat from start to finish. The Green Arrow has something for everyone, regardless of the shape or size of your interest in superhero comics.

Kevin Smith is truly a person who loves to talk a great deal.

Typically, I take pleasure in the fact that comics can be read in a relatively short amount of time.

However, this particular comic was extremely long and detailed.

I don't believe I have ever come across a comic that contains so much writing.

Nonetheless, I did find the story quite enjoyable and would definitely recommend it to other people.

Despite its length and the abundance of text, the story managed to engage me and hold my interest throughout.

It had unique characters and an interesting plot that made it stand out from other comics I have read.

So, if you don't mind a comic with a lot of reading, I would highly suggest giving this one a try.

You might be pleasantly surprised by how much you enjoy it.
