5/24/2023 0 Comments Green Arrow, Vol. 2 by Kevin SmithGreen Arrow writer, ‘Mallrats’ director, and Silent Bob actor Smith.Īnyway, I’ve now read all 15 issues of Smith and penciler Phil Hester‘s 2001-2002 Green Arrow run, with inks by Ande Parks, colors by James Sinclair, and letters by Sean Konot. It’s an actual problem.īut also, as I said in that first Silber Linings essay, Smith’s “comic book output has been almost uniformly horrible.” When it’s hard enough for me these days to work up the motivation to read stuff I’m sure I’ll like (it’s weird that I own a comic where Batman hangs with dinosaurs and haven’t read it yet), reading a comic that I suspect I’ll dislike is even more of a chore than it normally would be… even for the sake of a funny bit. For one, ever since the pandemic began, my concentration has been shot, and I now struggle to read for long periods of time. Months ago, I promised Comics Beat managing editor Joe Grunenwald that since my first Silber Linings essay was about my love of the obscure comic book villain Onomatopoeia, and my complicated relationship with the character’s co-creator, Kevin Smith, I’d celebrate the first Silber Linings anniversary by finally reading Smith’s Green Arrow run in which Onomatopoeia first appears. Mostly, though… look, I’ll be real with you.
