OH MY GOD, the Art on *Rebirth* is absolutely GORGEOUS, I freaking love this penciling style, I never heard about Otto Schmidt but omg, his line-art is amazing, it completely sold me on Green Arrow and now I'm researching more of his stuff, reminds me a lot of Stephen Murphy (Batman White Knight and the stylized Hellblazer: Constantine, that art is AMAZING, super colorful and super stylized). I find these kind of art so expressive and so awesome.

Longbow Hunters is top drawer, especially as a standalone. I also enjoyed the Judd Winick run Green Arrow/Black Canary

I have mixed feelings on Grell. I mean I like his Green Arrow but it's far different than the norm, and for me isn't the best spot to start. I'd start at one of the two places I suggested and then go back to read Grell. Though I will say Arrow fans might enjoy Grell's run more.

UltimateChance Longbow Hunters is actually one of the first Green Arrow comics I read, after Year One. I think miniseries are great starting places for newbies because you get a good impression of a character in only a few issues, which isn't as intimidating as an entire series for some. And you also named the Rebirth run, Mike Grell's run was a huge influence on that. To me recommending Mike Grell for Green Arrow is the same as recommending Frank Miller for Batman or Daredevil.

Ah see but I wouldn't recommend Frank's Daredevil at all haha. I could be Bias but not a huge fan of Frank's style on most characters. However, I do enjoy Grell's run a lot but I just think the ones I mentioned are better starting points to get to know Green Arrow comic form. Grell's is a darker take, and while enjoyable, to me isn't what Green Arrow is about.

UltimateChance Haha, to each their own then I guess! I think it depends on your taste, and on what you want/expect from a character. You can't exactly compare Knightfall and Batman '66 to each other, if you get what I mean. The runs you mentioned are good starting points all the same.

I own 2 full runs of Green Arrow (Jeff Lemire's New 52 run:Vol 4 The Kill Machine, Vol 5 The Outsiders War, and Vol 6 Broken, Kevin Smith's run: Quiver and Sounds of Violence) but I also own Green Arrow the Golden Age Omnibus Vol 1, Green Arrow Year One, Dawn of DC Green Arrow Vol 1 Reunion.

Really awesome that you've made your own comic book! Congratulations man, serious respect. Would you mind telling me how you managed to get it drawn and published? I'm an aspiring comic book writer, currently studying writing in university, and I'm looking for a way to break in to the industry so anything you could tell me would be really helpful and much appreciated, Next time I have some extra cash I'll buy a copy of Sparks on ComiXology.

UltimateChance ok that's great, seriously thank you. I've got some original stories I'd like to tell, which I'll try and use as a break in, but I have some really awesome pitches on some Marvel and DC characters, one for Green Arrow actually. Ive also got a really cool and different Wolverine story that I've written and I'm really hoping I'll get to see it published one day.

UltimateChance a Tim Drake series? I'd be down for that, he's always been the definitive Robin for me and I just love the character. I really want my Wolverine story to get out someday because it's really different in that it mixes a lot of genres into one awesome story. It's got a crime thriller premise but has the hard action a Wolverine story should have but also mixes in some horror elements aswell.

If you're looking for older stuff, start with the Long Bow Hunters. If you're looking for newer stuff start with Ben Percy's Rebirth run. I couldn't finish reading Jeff Lemire's run because the art was so horrible. Literally some of the worst art I have ever seen in a comic book, so I can't recommend that run. Percy's run is great, it really balances the political and superhero elements of the character and the supporting cast and Oliver's interactions with them are great also.

UltimateChance yeah. Any comic he draws I can't read. Ruined Old Man Logan for me which is a shame. I don't like the bleak colours and the very rough pencils. He can't be bothered to draw eyes either, so he just makes them massive black splodges in characters faces. The style just doesn't suit my tastes. I love really clean art, so a Jason Fabok or Dave Marquez, so that style naturally doesn't appeal to me but I appreciate that a lot of people really do like it and I respect anyone who can draw a comic book so I still have respect for him, just don't really like his art personally.
