So basically his name is Oliver Queen. After 5 years in hell, he returned home with only one goal. To save his city. But his old approach wasn't enough. He had to to become someone else. He had to become something else. He had to become the Green Arrow. Those are my thoughts anyway.

he was called Speedy coz he moved faster than Green Arrow. I know I'm a year late but the more ya know also, Biggie, Speedy was a nickname for Thea. then Roy became Olivers sidekick (the first speedy) then took on the name Arsenal. and Thea took over as Speedy
My personal favorite story arcs are 'The Archer's Quest' and 'The Sound of Violence'. Those two plus 'Quiver' were my introduction to Green Arrow (a pretty weird place to start) after I began watching Arrow and ever since he's been my favorite superhero.

Arrow sucks
Hey guys, I was looking forward to find out some feats dealing with green arrow, but does anyone know what his greatest feats are along with the draw weight on his bow?
I highly recommend the Green Lantern Green Arrow series to anybody. It is the traditional Green Arrow we all love, and Hal Jordan isn't annoying like he is now.
Would love to know more about his Golden Age years, since those are very expensive, and haven't been made commercially available in cheaper trades.
I just realized that Andy Diggle wrote Green Arrow Year one and that's why Diggle is in Arrow
Great vid arris, every week I see your vids you never disappoint :) keep up the great work

Give me ONE reason why Oliver is better than Hawkeye, and I may believe you...and don t bring in the Arrow Tv show...nobody gave a shit about Oliver Queen before that show...and if you say that he had better comics...debatable....GA has better solo comics while Hawkeye truly shines when he is with his team...the Avengers...lol Hawkeye has lead the Thunderbolts and made them truly capable heroes worthy of saluting...what has GA lead before Arrowverse? If we are going via feats in comics...Hawleye is BETTER! Yeah..I like Clint better...but I have never understood how someone can say either is better than the other... I bet the same people are still arguing that Iron Man is a China Knockoff of Batman...lol. Even the they have nothing in common besides their intellect and begin billionares...which is also something common.

I hope they adapt the Green Aroow movie, super max screen play into a season of the Arrow show. Would be such a waste if it never gets used.
Since Gal Gadot has recently been casted as Wonder Woman, you should do an origins video of her.
Can't wait to pick up year one I'm a sucker for origin stories and I'm sure it's a hell of a read.

That Drug issue with Speedy showed that Ollie is probably the worst parent in the DCU, he was so caught up in his preaching he wasn't there for Roy when he needed him the most,and just tossed him out in the street like he was trash, and instead of him being the one to help Roy overcome his addiction, he pawned him off on Black Canary. For all the berating he gave Lantern in the GL/GA series, about how Lantern was the man, he clearly hated it when people tossed it back in his face
