Good morrow. I am in search of guidance. When I started reading DC it was by haphazardly throwing myself into the deep end with 0 context and trying to figure it out as I went, which turned out "fine" but as one does I kind of ended up accidentally on purpose pigeonholing myself into the BatCorner. I've read plenty of other stuff, but I don't have nearly as comprehensive a grasp on any other corners of the universe, and I'd like to start amending that. So I was just wondering if you have or know of any reading recs/lists for Arrowfam stuff? Or just what a good starting point might be. If it's not a bother. Have a nice day :)
Hi!
Not a bother at all, I can link them! Most of the reading list posts have links that will take you to the readcomicsonline page. These are the ones I could find just now, but the original posters of these recs have more comics recs and you can also check out @/arrowfam-events or @/nonbatdcu for recs.

Happy pride!
#that panel is from green lantern/green arrow#which is a series about how Hal has actually neglected his hero work on earth#and that specific panel is Ollie and the tenants of an apartment building calling Hal out#for helping the racist landlord kick out his poor POC tenants because he wanted to raise the rent#the context is important there#plus that panel does nothing to help your argument#you’re not required to like Ollie or the comics he’s in#but maybe don’t add on to a meme post with a panel you pulled out of context that doesn’t even support your argument#keep it to yourself

🏹 oliver queen reading recommendations: carrd edition 🏹
since the last one was primarily in response to people asking me how to dodge the (imo) bad writing, i thought i would make a newer, more neutrally worded shareable version! there's still parts that are tba, and i'm sure to go in and move things around some more, but the meat of it is all here, so i figure it's ready to be posted.
please reblog, show your pals, or however else you choose to share it. if you can afford it do please also consider leaving me a tip! i'm saving up to move out of a toxic situation and would appreciate any help.
thank you, i hope you enjoy these!

Who is...Oliver Queen | Green Arrow? - A Reading Guide
Oliver Queen is a hero from DC comics that was first introduced in 1941. Ollie is a character based firmly in the folk hero genre with an unmistakable heavy-handed influence from the Robin Hood mythos. Ollie is best known for being canonically a socialist, befriending assassins and "villains", and for having his most common enemy be the police. He is the father of Roy Harper (Speedy, Arsenal, Red Arrow), Connor Hawke (Green Arrow), Mia Dearden (Speedy), Tim North, and Robert Queen II. He's the older brother of Emiko Queen (Red Arrow). And the long-time partner of Dinah Lance (Black Canary) and Hal Jordan (Green Lantern). Ollie is often at odds with other heroes, which makes his epitaph the most fitting way to sum up his character in that he always makes the right enemies.
A reading list with totally legal links is under the cut!
As always
Origins: these comics deal specifically with Ollie's experience on the island
Green Arrow: Year One
Green Arrow: The Wonder Year
Green Arrow: Stranded (non-canon but still an AMAZING look at the island)
Select Golden and Silver Age Stories: it is HIGHLY ENCOURAGED to read these before reading GL/GA and particularly Snowbirds Don't Fly to get full context of the Pre-Snowbirds GA/Speedy dynamic.
More Fun Comics #78, 81-82, 89, 91-92
World’s Finest Comics #7, 57, 70
Adventure Comics #121, 133, 137, 151, 155, 164, 166, 179, 184, 189, 196
Adventure Comics #233
World’s Finest Comics #88
Adventure Comics #246, 256, 260-263
Teen Titans Vol 1 #4, 11, 19-43
Green Lantern/Green Arrow: possibly the most famous stories involving Ollie, GL/GA is a quintessential must-read for the emerald archer! As stated above, PLEASE read the Golden and Silver Age issues before reading GL (1960) #85-86.
Green Lantern (1960) #76-87, 89
The Flash (1959) #217-219
Green Lantern (1960) #90-100, 102-124
Green Arrow Titles: See parenthetical notes for specific commentary on the various series
Green Arrow (1983)
Green Arrow: The Longbow Hunters (this is a direct lead in to Green Arrow 1988)
Green Arrow (1988) (while Chuck Dixon's run has been included for completion's sake please note that he has gone on the record saying that the hates Oliver Queen and his writing reflects this)
Green Arrow (2001) (this series seriously drops in quality FAST once Judd Winick takes over and his characterization isn't even consistent with what comes before him in the 2001 series let alone in past series, Winick's GA also features significant anti-black racism)
Green Arrow/Black Canary (please keep in mind that Judd Winick's characterization is still SHIT but this has been included for completion's sake)
Green Arrow: Brightest Day
Green Arrow (2011) #17-34
Other Titles and Storylines:
Identity Crisis
Final Crisis
Green Arrow 80th Anniversary 100-Page Super Spectacular
I am not including much of N52 because it is bad. And I am not including Rebirth because it should not be included in reading lists that are meant to teach you about the character, it exists to make you question if Ben Percy has read Green Arrow comics after YOU have read the comics he supposedly drew inspiration from.
