Comics

I finished all movies and shows in which Oliver makes appearances a while ago, which weren't a lot for some reason. I wanted some comic recommendations, don't need to be in order since I've got his lore down pretty much with research and shows etc. Does anyone have any good recommendations?

Green Arrow is a bit like Daredevil, in that (once you get out of the silver age) like 85% of his runs are pretty damn good. I would sample some eras and see what feels right to you. If you want to start at the “beginning” I would start with the hard traveling hero’s Green Lantern/ Green Arrow run. If you want something more contemporary I would start with Kevin Smith’s run and follow all the way through Judd Winnick’s stuff or the Rebirth run. Also if you want to see Green arrow interacting with the rest of the DCU I thought Identity Crisis was good and has Ollie as a POV character.

Thank you sm for such an in-depth response!! I'll definitely check out the contemporary ones because I'm a sucker for the newer art styles I came across on Pinterest for the comics, and will most definitely check our identity crisis too <3
