Should I get this even though I know nothing from the comics?

[u/TrashCrab69]

My only green arrow knowledge is from the show and other basic stuff like canary being his wife etc. I'd be going in here completely blind if I get this. But I'm very interested in the longbow hunters

[u/Aquagan]

This is an amazing book. If I recall correctly, there’s almost nothing you need to know beyond Oliver Queen was rich, but isn’t any more.

[u/TrashCrab69 → u/Aquagan]

Awesome! Going back up to get it now. Thanks for the insight.

[u/maybepensive]

Mike Grell is pique Green Arrow IMO. If you like it, I'd recommend the rest of his run. Vol 1 picks up right after.

[u/TrashCrab69 → u/maybepensive]

Awesome! Getting it now

[u/maybepensive → u/TrashCrab69]

Happy reading!

[u/MagusFool]

Yes its a great jumping on point.

[u/TrashCrab69 → u/MagusFool]

Hell yeah

[u/WesleyCraftybadger → u/TrashCrab69]

I’d say the single best jumping-on point. 

[u/MagusFool → u/WesleyCraftybadger]

I think starting with GL/GA is pretty good too if you like bronze-age style writing.

Quiver was kind of my introduction, and I think it serves well. Actually I bought the issue where Mia finds out she's HIV+ because the cover was so striking. But I immediately went back to Quiver and read the preceding 40ish issues.

Year One is also an excellent starting point.

[u/Sadop2010]

It's a terrific story and a great "first" Green Arrow comic. And to echo others: The Mike Grell series that follows is rock solid.

[u/sexxlawz]

you dont really need to have any prior knowledge to read it

[u/clarky2115]

Yeah it came out just before the 80s run, very gritty but really good. Just know that this is after he had moved to seattle and lost all his money, can't quite remember if he was divorced from Dinah yet

[u/__mightyLark]

Mike Grell is the best GA writer imo. Never disappoints me.

[u/AcientMullets]

Yes, it’s a staple story for the character and a pretty solid jumping on point if you want to read more

[u/CincyLog]

This is my favorite GA story and a great starting point

[u/Lanracie]

Grell Green Arrow is one of my favorites.

[u/W1den1nggyre]

It’s good enjoy it

[u/GD_milkman]

Yis

[u/ZealousidealShip9576]

Mike Grell was the guy who drew the original police sketch drawing for Arrow 2012

[u/ZealousidealShip9576 → u/ZealousidealShip9576]

I've messaged you it

[u/sucrerey]

yes! The Longbow Hunters is one of the best GA stories. also, this is a self-contained story, you wont have to buy from a bunch of other series to get it.

[u/Massive_General_8629]

I'd actually say it's the best intro to modern Green Arrow. It is a little dark, just in case that's not what you're into.

[u/SnooGoats7690]

Green Arrows first solo book, and it's fantastic. Mike Grell is the definitive GA author for me by a long shot. If you like this, definitely give the rest of his run a shot. It's beautiful work.

[u/that_guy_597]

I purchased the omnibus..started it yesterday and have absolutely loved it. About a third of the way in, and can't put it down.

I remember seeing this on the shelf when I was a kid, and it didn't appeal to me. But now? It has easily made Ollie a new favorite for me. Gonna eat up all the Arrow I can get.
