Kevin Smiths take on the Green Arrow

Green Arrow Quiver. I picked up the comic because I say Kevin Smith had written thinking the movies he writes have a lot of character development and because I'm a huge Jay and Silent Bob fan. I'd never really read or knew much about the Green Arrow other than he was like Robin Hood and was a socialist.

The thing i really enjoyed and was the character development of the Green Arrow. It was a cool twist Kevin Smith had in making Green Arrow come back to life before he was "damaged". So you got to discover who the Green Arrow was along with him.   It was cool to see so many layers in a character other than what you on top of them. I really liked the ending of the book where you find out he has been resurrected as a body without his soul, and the soul its self is in heaven. When the two meet you see that "real" or the soul Green Arrow is acting like he figured every thing out but he still remains selfish in staying in heaven and not joining his "body". But when the "body" Green Arrow convinces the Soul to join him to save their son. It was cool to see that enlightening  moment of self awareness in a comic.
