Reception
"Quiver" received mostly positive reviews. Entertainment Weekly's Ken Tucker said "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.
"Quiver" was named as one of 2003's Best Books for Young Adults by the American Library Association's Young Adult Library Service.

—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Satire is a sort of glass, wherein beholders do generally discover everybody’s face but their own; which is the chief reason for that kind of reception it meets in the world, and that so very few are offended with it.”
