I love the tv show on CW...Arrow. I know it is not going to win any Emmys, but it is fun...and I have a thing for superheros. 
 My comic book obsessed friend recommended I start with this book...as it was written by Kevin Smith (yeah!--LOVE HIM). Sadly...this book is NOT the Arrow that is in the show and I was a bit confused and a bit...(very) disappointed. I would like to read earlier than this one....the art was ok. 
 The story is quite confusing/strange...and I only gave it two stars because it was "The Arrow". 
 Don't read this one as your introduction for The Arrow...go farther back.
