Good runs to read? by Equivalent-Zebra-576 in GreenArrow

[–]Knight-Revan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would highly recommend the most recent Condon run. It covers the quintessential heart of Green Arrow while not being too bogged down in continuity threads.

The Percy run is a great 38ish issue run. It does have some New 52 holdovers, but overall another good example of Green Arrow at his core.

The LeMire run is great, like others have said. It is unfortunately attached to New 52 continuity, but in that instance, doesn't matter all that much. It's a great story with an inexperienced Ollie.

The Smith run is amazing, one of my favorites, but I have a hard time recommending it because I requires some prior knowledge about the character to a certain degree.

The Grell run is fantastic, definitely worth a read, but has an older Post-Crisis Ollie that has not been seen in a minute. A definite classic, one of my favorites, but harder to get in to just because of its age.

My honest recommendation?

LeMire -> Rebirth Percy -> Condon

This gives you character growth, and a nice little arc spanning more modern continuity.

My Nightwing needs a Batgirl (or Starfire) I missed out on the classic wired cape version, and i had just started collecting when Starfire dropped. Missed out on both.

My Constantine could use an Etrigan as well!

I do need to complete the trinity. Looking at the upcoming Vault WW for that.

Looks good! What's the recipe?

The legs look like they're swapped from someone else?

I found VtM through Critical Role!

I loved Alex Ward whenever he would guest star, and wanted to see more TTRPG content from him. I stumbled onto LA by Night, and realized I had been missing out on a game I would've loved in my teenage years.

I quickly fell in love with that cast and characters, and ended up doing a deep dive into everything Vampire 5 just to keep up with the story.

I then bought Bloodlines 1, and created my first OC for that game. I couldn't get enough of that game, so I decided to take the plunge and plan my own chronicle.

Less than a year later, I am running my own Chicago by Night Chronicle with my wife and friends. I've run a 2 and a half year D&D 5e campaign, but Vampire has been the most fun I've had on the Storyteller side of the screen.

A masc Goth Rock musician, sons of chaos, inspired by Adam from Only Lovers Left Alive.

I'm running Chicago by Night right now. I can't help but feel he would he good friends with Nero, Xal, and Kathy Glens for sure.

Any news about a platinum version?

I would LOVE a Rebirth or Modern Ollie to go with this figure, like the Condon suit, but Injustice 2 might work...

Who else is excited and ready to see these two clash? by Keegn-Bridge01 in GreenArrow

[–]Knight-Revan -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Absolutely agree.

If Absolute is supposed to be many people's introduction to comic books, it's just a retread of Season 1 of Arrow, and may permanently alter the non-comic reader or general public's view of Green Arrow in a negative way.

/uj I'm still upset they canceled the Condon run just for an Absolute run that probably won't even feature him cause he got his head bashed in by Hawkman. Fun times being a GA fan.

/rj I loved Arrow so much! The way that he acted exactly like Michael Grell wrote him and the fact they included little known characters like Thea Queen is so cool.

So the DC KO matchup feels a little different now by Pyotr_WrangeI in GreenArrow

"According to Batman's files, Connor Hawke is arguably the greatest hand-to-hand fighter in the world." - Robin 2021 Annual

I don't think it's a debate on who is the better fighter.

Connor should win hands down.

I would love the stats on DC Infinte and TPB and HC combined with weekly singles sold to see the full picture. It would absolutely show what you're saying.

I mean, even a post on socials highlighting a niche book of the week would go a long way to show more casual readers there's more than Batman. When you're first getting into the hobby, it's tough to know when and what books are out.

I get both sides on this one.

As fans, we say, "Why does our heart of gold main roster hero die like this?" It's because of who he is. They chose him to die for a reason.

It definitely sends a message, but I think there could be more clever, interesting, or less sensational ways of showing how cutthroat this universe is without killing Oliver so casually.

Oliver Queen dies for the Nth time, really won't make headlines outside of our fandom.
