Favorite Comic Runs VOTING: Andy Diggle's GREEN ARROW: YEAR ONE vs. THUNDERBOLTS

Still haven't read either one but I've read his Hellblazer and The Losers run and I enjoyed both.

I think you'd like The Losers, k4tz.

I voted for Green Arrow because I haven't read Thunderbolts.

Nice to see the new options, especially the "I didn't like either" it was really necessary last week :-P

Kudos to you, Gregg, for including a wider variety of options. I've never really had need of them but I know others have been asking for them.

Year One is IMO the best Green Arrow story ever told.

Green Arrow: Year One. It's the quintessential modern-day Green Arrow origin, and its ideas are still being borrowed to this day, nearly seven years later. Diggle and Jock were also at the top of their game.

This.

Year One

Thunderbolts was spectacular, but I'm going with Year One. Its the quintessential Green Arrow story.

Have you read Longbow hunters?

I'm going with Green Arrow: Year One because I haven't read Thunderbolts yet but I thought Year One was a really great book telling Oliver's past and origins and showing how he became GA and all.

Yep, sure have. It's up there but Year One is better IMO.

Green Arrow's origin story was written by Andy Diggle? I can not believe I didn't see that before!

The character was named after him.

GA:Year One. While his run on Thunderbolts was good it wasn't long enough to be truly great. And Jock drew GA: Year One plus it also gave us Arrow and the character of Diggle.

I haven't read either. I'll now go perform Japanese ritual suicide.

I've only read Green Arrow Year One and some of his Hellblazer series, but I really liked Green Arrow Year One. I was really sad when Andy Diggle left DC...

My point exactly

You need to read Year One NOUW

I picked Green Arrow: Year One.

People who know me know that my favorite character is Green Arrow. When I first became interested in the character, I went asking for some recommendations, and Year One was at the top of everyone's list. Although it was not the first Green Arrow I read, once I did, it easily became my favorite Green Arrow story (at least until The Outsiders War came along).

One of my favorite aspects of Oliver Queen is his transformation from a self-centered, spoiled, careless playboy to a more compassionate man, and this transformation is at the center of Year One. Andy Diggle was able to masterfully display this - with each passing issue/chapter, you can see Ollie changing even more.

I also have to give Mark "Jock" Simpson's art credit. Year One features what I feel some of the best battles Green Arrow has taken part in, and the cinematic quality of Jock's art was a major factor in this opinion.

@jonny_anonymous: That good eh?

@granitesoldier: It's the best Green Arrow story bar none shortly followed by Longbow Hunters.

@jonny_anonymous: I haven't read much Green Arrow but I guess if I were to start the beginning would be a good place haha.

Thunderbolts. Why? It has Deadpool!

@granitesoldier: That is pretty much a perfect place to start.

And then this.

Year One is my second favorite Green Arrow story and I see why it could be someones favorite,

GA:YO

I had to go with Green arrow.

ummmm i would of voted for losers if it was on this list

Im going to assume those freaking out over how great year one is havent read anything with green arrow before that mini cause "greatest green story" lol yeah him coming back from the DEAD, him DYING, the drama with his kid, his girl black canary being raped and beaten yeah none of those are 'quintessential' arrow stories at all. lol newbies

But it's not. NOW CHOOSE! :D
