About this Collection

This oversized hardcover collects Kevin Smith's celebrated run on Green Arrow, including the story arcs 'Quiver' and 'The Sounds of Violence,' which revitalized the character with a mix of humor, heart, and supernatural intrigue. Featuring art by Phil Hester and Ande Parks, the volume also includes extensive bonus material such as sketches, scripts, and behind-the-scenes content, presented in DC's Absolute format for a deluxe reading experience.

In "Quiver, Chapter One: The Queen Is Dead (Long Live the Queen)," Kevin Smith and Phil Hester kick off a gripping new chapter for Green Arrow with a story that plunges Ollie into a psychological and physical reckoning. Batman subjects him to a grueling interrogation, forcing Ollie to confront the truth behind his resurrection and the eerie gap in his memories—while a deadly threat emerges from the shadows at the Queen estate. The cover by Matt Wagner captures the tension perfectly, setting the tone for a mystery that’s equal parts personal and perilous.
