ARP - 25 - Quiver

Dylan and John tackle another Kevin Smith story, this time from DC comics. Green Arrow - Quiver is the relaunch of the title and this story does a good job of restarting the story while still tying it to the history of the character. Dylan and I had a great time discussing the elements of this story both good and bad. Enjoy our thoughts on this story.
