I think this was not for me. The story jumped so many times and I felt I could not get into it.

This is a good tie in to the show of which I am a fan, this comic gave little snippets and insights into other characters not just Oliver it was almsot like watching deleted scenes on a dvd, never really been a comic book reader but being a fan of the show I wanted to try these, will hopefully pick up more volumes

Arrow Volume 1 is a tie in to the WB show Arrow that features the Green Arrow. The book features a number of mini-comics that tie in to episodes on the show. As such, there isn't really a cohesive storyline to this book since the comics are either prologues or add extra information to the individual episodes.If you are a fan of the show, this book would probably go well with watching the episodes on dvd or on a streaming service. As a straight read this book doesn't make a lot of sense. It shoul...

Meh.. nothing of significance, nothing exciting or something that adds that much to Arrow, besides some secondary characters and guest stars on the show, this was bad. From script to dialogue to artwork sometimes, simply bad. The dialogues especially were as bad as the show's dialogues.Stay away!

***3.5 stars***

Arrow is a CW's action-adventure tv series based on the DC character Green Arrow but rehashed much like Batman Begins. Marc Guggenheim wrote this companion graphic novel to complement the first 23 episodes of the tv series. If you haven't watch the full tv series, some of the content in this book can be spoilerish and out-of-place as it is intended to be a side story of sort that was omitted out of the television run.If you followed the tv series, it also was filled with a lot of backstory but m...

Nope.If you're interested in reading a real comic about the Green Arrow, then this is not for you.This is meant to appeal to the tv audience who wants more of the show. I wouldn't recommend it for people who haven't been regularly watching Arrow, though. Why?Well, it isn't a recap of what's been happening. It's a graphic novel chock-full of 'extras' and 'filler'.Personally, I didn't enjoy it at all. Mainly because I thought it was boring and pointless.I've watched the show, but I can't say that

Very nice and some interesting side info for the series.

Original Link to the review at my blog Le' Grande Codex - here Now this is more like it..... An awesome book albeit a graphic novel after 3 okay books..... the odds are pretty good. Presenting Arrow Vol. 1 by Marc Guggenheim, Andrew Kreisberg, Mike Grell. Here is the summary of the book:Spinning off directly from the hit CW television series ARROW comes the Emerald Archerer in these digital-first adventures! Show creators Andrew Kreisberg and Marc Guggenheim team with some of the industry'

Personal note: This review was scheduled a month ago and I promised the publisher. So, this is my last review on Goodreads. I've unsubscribed to all notifications and emails, and I won't be logging into this account again. If you wish, you can find me on Booklikes, or the blog. Links are on my profile. Adieu.****Last year I was searching for something new to watch and decided to search the internets for recommendations. I started hearing buzz about Arrow and decided to give it a try. I loved the...

This comic is compiled of a series of short stories that are based on the main characters of the TV series "Arrow". The prologue starts the collection off with events before the island. Then the book slowly progresses through the first season of the show. As each chapter progresses, you receive new stories about a different character. Okay, mostly they're about Oliver, checking off criminals from his father's list but sometimes they have flashbacks from other people's point of view such as Moira...

I actually give this 4.5 stars.This year I started watching Arrow and when I was looking into purchasing the dvds, I was recommended this graphic novel. Of course I had to put it on my Christmas list! I read this in one sitting and while I did breeze through it, it was not what I expected. I figured it would have a lot more to do with the television show and it did, but it didn't in my opinion. I was a little confused as to where certain things fit in and whatnot. I just think that if they're go...

What a load of rubbish! Now, I'm not the biggest Green Arrow fan: I only own vol 1 of the new 52 and I haven't even read it yet. I am a big Arrow fan though, and that's the reason why I bought this TPB.NoJust NOthe stories are scattered (is this a companion to the Tv show?), uninteresting and boring. I have thrown this comic on the floor with frustration while reading it in bed, and I'm quite precious with my comics. Stick with the show or maybe the Green Arrow comics, but not this rubbish. My p...

I must’ve been sleep-requesting on Netgalley because I have no idea why I’d say I wanted to read this book - I don’t watch the Arrow TV show and I’m not even that big a fan of Green Arrow as a character! Anyways, I said I’d review it, so here goes. The format of this volume is 19 short stories roughly ten pages in length collected together - given that length they were probably digitally released originally. There’s no arc connecting them, they’re just random shorts featuring Arrow/Ollie Queen a...

This is the first comic I've read since middle grade and I have to say, I liked it a lot! Not as much as I though I would, but that's probably because I'm more like a 300-pages-book type ;)This comic is actually not the complete story. It is based on the show. This comic consists of short chapters that are extra's from the tv show. The drawings are very good, although sometime I had a hard time recognizing the people and stories. But that's probably all on me, because I already forgot like half

I loved this volume! I can not get enough of the show and this really gave a lot of background into some of the characters, as well as little moments that we did not see during season 1.

DC comics and the CW have collaborated to put out a new comic book show based on the Green Arrow. This show is very different from the Green Arrow story I know and grew up with. There are similarities, but in the comics (at least before the New 52) Oliver Queen has no family when he returns from the island. He is completly alone which allows him some freedom to become the Green Arrow. He isn't tiptoeing around family to try to hide his secret. This book was put together as a direct tie into the

For all Arrow lovers out there, it just seems like an extension of the TV series. Well, I am not a comic-book fan, but I too liked this from the makers/writers of the show. Though this may not appease the regular comics readers from what I have heard, but being a fan of the show only, anyone would love it!

This is the comic series tie-in the tv show and features new stories. It's almost like "deleted scenes" from the TV Show, and its pretty cool. This ties in to the first season of Arrow, and that was actually my favorite. I preferred it when he took the "Punisher" approach to crime rather than the softer approach he later adopted. In any case, I recommend this series to any fan of the TV Show. If you like comics at all, pick this one up. And really, even if comics aren't your thing but you really...

Prologue and 18 other short stories (8-12 pages). Though all the stories were connected to arrow TV series but I found them somewhere between average to good. Artwork was also nothing outstanding. I have read Arrow 2.5 and that one was a much better comics on every aspect. I liked Ollie-Tommy bonding in few stories but I missed felicity, she was not in any of the stories. I guess as it was their 1st try for CW TV series comics they learned quite a few things from it. They gradually improved afte...
