ESSENTIAL GREEN ARROW

These are my recommendations for where to start with Green Arrow. I think it's the best way to get to know the character. This selection is focused on his beliefs and character development.

Peacemakers(Legends of the DC Universe #7-9)

This is the end of Dennis O'Neil's introduction to the trade Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight - The Ring, The Arrow and the Bat, which collects the Peacemakers story and Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight #127-131, which is a sequel to it.

I put this part of his introduction to show a little context of why this story is important and a bit of what it's.

Green Lantern(1960) #76-86, 89, The Flash #217-219(Green Lantern/Green Arrow by Dennis O'Neil & Neal Adams)

Maybe you noticed that I skipped issue #87 here. The reason is that the Green Arrow story from issue #87 is just the beginning of a storyline that incomplete, will not really hit right in terms of his characterization. It only makes sense in relation to his character with the full storyline.

World's Finest Comics #279-281(Green Arrow: World's Finest by Joey Cavalieri & Trevor Von Eeden)

Detective Comics #546-548, 551-554, 556-557, 560-567(Green Arrow by Joey Cavalieri & Jemore K. Moore)

when you're at a point where you're publishing comics with worse, less substantial representation of black characters than you were in the 90s or 2000s, i feel like, and now maybe this is crazy, but i feel like maybe you should at least acknowledge that you have an issue

We gotta talk about 1997 unproduced Green Arrow pilot

Link attached to the image.

A series of unproduced DC project scripts was release on reddit. And one of them is a 1997 Green Arrow pilot. That seems quite interesting.

A Green Arrow script written during the time in which him as rich was a long forgotten era. So you see stuff like the scene in the picture.

[greenarrow-core]

Uh, can you tell who's Green Lantern?

I was messing around and wondered if it's possible to tell.

YO, WHERE THE BOOTS AT?

so disappointing that this conversation / tension is never fully resolved post-ollie's resurrection. where's the ten+ issue ollie breakdown where he's jealous over eddie's relationship to connor while knowing full well he's partly at fault for it ft. connor hawke and his multi-layered confliction over both of them.

[dctrfate]

@holyarcana it strikes me as particularly noticeable after having just reread connor's appearances in green arrow 1998 that he is, quite frequently in fact, shown to raise his voice and indulge in non-logical decisions and most importantly of all, be confrontational with others (sometimes for petty reasons), whereas from what i remember in all his appearances thereafter, connor is very much sanded down and driven away from these traits. like yes i do think connor is ultimately is a "calm" person because he has the training from the ashram to reign his instictual responses in, but even then it's been shown to the reader time and time again that spiritualism is something he struggles to maintain and that connor has a deep want to be acknowledged, to battle injustice, and to be the best, that can often conflict with the lessons that he learned at the monastery. he's driven by his heart and the heart is not often a rational or forgiving creature even if it might want to be. so, tldr; i think the connor hawke that so admired his father and then was so conflicted with the legacy ollie left behind for him should've had an extreme, if perhaps self-depracative, reconciliation with ollie that involved a lot of heavy lifting for all parties involved. alas! green arrow 2001 instead.

That whole run is just a big hating piece by dixon. He focused on contradicting Dennis O'Neil's stories from GL/GA(by his own admission) and making Ollie an asshole.

in my mind palace where comics dont hurt me, instead of rhato being the red hood ongoing we instead got a respectably sized series not written by a sex pest that was entirely about jason’s redemption from actively being a vile and violent murderer and terrorist worshipping at the altar of his own pain and into being the wounded antihero with thawed, tentative relationships with the other bats that he’s generally portrayed as nowaways. the whole series would have been brutal to him and painful and he would have had to claw his way there but it would have something beautiful about the nature of grappling with your worst self and the way it hurts to heal, like setting bones back in place. it would be the new canonical jason bible

i have to hallucinate that this comic exists because i get too angry when i think about how much this path to redemption arc for jason either Doesn’t Exist or has effectively boiled down to a very juvenile “but why don’t the bats just accept that jason was correct this whole time” and i start foaming at the mouth

a crucial aspect of my imaginary canon jason comic is also jason’s hypocrisy because its probably the clearest way for red hood jason to kickstart that journey. post-resurrection jason is a very selfish man in my eyes. he’s consumed by ego and his own trauma! i don’t say this as a way to put him down, it’s probably my favorite aspect of his red hood character; who hasn’t been 18 and obsessed with their own pain and woe-is-me? jason has very understandable reasons to be broody and miserable and lash out, and it completely warps his worldview and ability to relate to other people, so everything gets distilled into this ideology of hurting bruce and hating capes and being painfully resentful of the concept of mercy to the point where he feels completely righteous because only his self matters because he’s suffered the most.

so to flip that, where you have this character that is completely selfish but views it as having clear-eyed integrity, i think his journey back has to be viewed internally as jason making very self-indulgent choices and externally as recognition of his inverted moral compass and hypocrisy. he selfishly wants his dad back and that personal desire begins to outweigh his desire to punish bruce especially as his criminal crusade rings hollows over time.

[getanshi]

also on this i think as part of his process jason has to relearn the value of a human life (and not just the value of the idealized innocent that he still identifies with, those drug dealers and criminals you killed had valuable lives too!) so he’s like ready to be accepted back into the fold he’s going to stop focusing on committing insane amounts of crime and everyone’s like actually no ✋ and this in my head is when he has an issue or two going to Stop Murdering People boot camp courtesy of cass

[greenarrow-core]

We gotta talk about the brutal alcohol withdrawal that Ollie had to go through in the island.
