Having learned of
As Connor Hawke fights to save his father - the house being protected by a blood seal that prevents anyone from entering it if they are not related to an inhabitant - Ollie makes contact with his soul while Dover attempts the ritual to take control of Ollie's body, convincing the soul to leave Heaven and rejoin with his body to save their son. With the two Green Arrows having fought off Dover's demons, they are saved by the Beast With No Name, which returned them to the Hell dimension they were summoned from. The Beast subsequently devours Dover, who leaves Ollie and Connor in Dover's house, revealing that Dover left everything to Ollie — back when he believed he would be inheriting Oliver's body — and encouraging Oliver to use Dover's house and resources to fight evil in Star City.
Reception
"Quiver" received mostly positive reviews. Entertainment Weekly's Ken Tucker wrote: "The first issue pins you to the wall with artist Phil Hester's elegantly elongated figures and unpredictably shaped panels, while Smith succeeds in boiling down the Arrow mythos". Along with "Guardian Devil", "Quiver" helped to establish Kevin Smith as one of the most popular writers in comics.[1]
"Quiver" was named as one of 2003's Best Books for Young Adults by the American Library Association's Young Adult Library Service.[2]
