It’s a pity that Kevin Smith will be leaving Green Arrow after midway through 2002. He resurrected a dead character (both in the minds of fans and literally in the DC universe) and made it the best read for DC Comics. That is saying a lot considering JSA and the Batman books. His run on the Emerald Archer just rules as he captured Queen’s snarky personality and age-old chic memorably but we’ll be compensated when he brings back The Brave and the Bold. Smith also proved that he could combine a fanboy’s vision and a deep love for a character into a winning combination for readers old and new.
