...and I'm baffled as to how you could judge it solely by the first issue, considering that within it, Kevin's got to explain how the Green Arrow died in the first place, how it affected everyone else, and bring him back as well, so there's not much room for action. But yeah, it's good - lots of the typical Smith humour, and a damn fine story to accompany it.
Some people complain that it relies on the history of the DC characters too much, but I'm hardly the biggest comics fan and I still found it pretty easy to follow. I probably still prefer Kevin's run on Daredevil, but Green Arrow is still excellent.
: So, I nabbed the first issue of Green Arrow (Kevin Smith's Quiver that is, not the original first issue) just recently and I gotta say, I'm kinda torn. Batman and Superman read more like Kevin Smith's own characters than "themselves" and the whole thing seemed kinda slow paced. On the other hand, I hear it gets *REALLY* good later on. Has anyone read the whole series, is it worth picking up? It's a little off-topic, but I'd like to hear people's thoughts on the books. Thanks.
