: : I'm relatively new to comic book reading/collecting. I was thiking about picking up the Green Arrow TPB that Kevin wrote. Will I be lost if I know nothing about the Green Arrow in the past or can I just pick it up and jump right in? So far I'm hooked on the New X-Men series and just about everything by Neil Gaiman. Any advice? Suggestions? Recommendations? I'm going overseas for the rest of the year and want to take a decent stock of readable material.

: : P.S. Hope this isn't too personal of a question.
: I picked up the Green Arrow comics knowing nothing of the storyline, either. For the most part, he fills you in on anything you might not know.
: And cheers on finding Neil's comics! That's how I got started reading comics, as well, so I know how you feel!
: In my opinion, Kevin's the only one whose writing engages me nearly as well as Gaiman's. I've read a few others, here and there, but Smith and Gaiman are my favorites, closely followed by Garth Ennis.
