DeMatteis, Keith Giffen, & Chris Batista's (with some fill-in by Pat Oliffe)  run], #0, 1-10, 1,000,000 [Geoff Johns & Dan Jurgens' run], #11-12 [Chuck Dixon & Dan Jurgens' run], #15-19, 21-31, 44-47 [Dan Jurgens' mostly solo run], #13-14 & 20 [Rick Remender & Pat Oliffe's 2 issues & one stand-alone] -- I <3 this entire series, but arranged it in order of which creative teams' runs I liked best.

29. Green Arrow vol. 3 (2001) #1-75 [Judd Winick's run from #26-75, then Kevin Smith's run of the first 15 issues were the best of this series, but it was all good. Smith was responsible for starting it out with wonderfully resurrecting Oliver Queen, who had been killed off in the mid-'90s.]
