Summary: Green Arrow meets "Dark Knight Returns" review redux
Review: [...]FIRST, I just picked up a long overdue re-release of "Longbow Hunters," and am so happy it's back in my collection. I first picked up this mini-series when I was in high school (1989). A couple of things have changed since I first followed this groundbreaking series: 1) I've grown up. 2) I put in four years in Seattle, so I have a much better perspective of the story's locale. Needless to say, going back to this story now, I developed an all new appreciation for Mike Grell's work. Ever since Denny O'Neill & Neal Adams breathed new life into the Emerald Archer 30 years ago by teaming him up with Green Lantern, Oliver Queen has made it clear that he is here to tackle real issues, albeit in a green costume with trick arrows. In "Longbow Hunters," gone are the boxing glove arrows, and people get hurt and might not make it home that night, if ever. I recommend this to anyone who incorrectly assumes that comics are just kids stuff. Beautiful art, and fantastic story. SECOND, Kevin Smith HAS heeded the call, and has done an incredible job making GREEN ARROW currently the number one bestselling comic for DC Comics. Anybody who considers themselves a Green Arrow fan has to already be all over this, plus those who considers themselves DC loyalists have to pick up this title. Thanks, Kevin! [...]Kevin Smith, are you listening? Give DC a call, and let's resurrect the title in a grand fashion. And I think it can be done with Oliver Queen AND Connor Hawke. BRING BACK THE ARROW!"
