tv echo June 28, 2021 Share June 28, 2021 (edited) Green Arrow Brings Back His Hilarious Version of the Bat-Signal BY SAMANTHA KING JUNE 27, 2021https://screenrant.com/green-arrow-bat-signal-hilarious-dc-comics/ Quote Green Arrow used to have his own Bat-Signal as well as his own Batmobile - both are making a brief comeback. Green Arrow 80th Anniversary 100-Page Super Spectacular #1 has received a second preview - this time for a story that harkens back to the Emerald Archer's Golden Age. Stay home Batman, that symbol in the sky isn't yours this time. In honor of the Emerald Archer’s 80th anniversary, DC Comics is releasing a special anthology issue of new stories taking place in the character's past, present, and future. Some of DC's best writers are providing adventures celebrating the Green Arrow’s legacy. DC has already released a preview for "The Last Green Arrow Story", which features an old, grizzled Oliver Queen. Now, there is a preview for a story that throws the clock back several decades. * * * "The Disappearing Bandit" is created by Mariko Tamaki, Javier Rodriguez, and Andworld Design. It features Green Arrow with his sidekick, Speedy, in a smooth yet retro art style. This story is a major throwback, full of characteristics of older comics, including some aspects that have largely disappeared from comics involving Green Arrow. Check out the preview here: Edited June 28, 2021 by tv echo Link to comment
tv echo June 28, 2021 Share June 28, 2021 (edited) Read a Denny O’Neil tribute ahead of the Green Arrow 80th special By Zack Quaintance -06/28/2021 5:45 pmhttps://www.comicsbeat.com/read-a-denny-oneil-tribute-ahead-of-the-green-arrow-80th-special/ Quote In advance of tomorrow’s Green Arrow 80th Anniversary Spectacular #1, DC has released a Denny O’Neil tribute comic. The six page short (which you can read now on DC’s website), is illustrated by Jorge Fornes (Rorschach), colored by Dave Stewart, and written by Larry O’Neil, who is the late Denny O’Neil’s son. Green Arrow was just one of the many characters who Denny O’Neil wrote for DC Comics over the years, perhaps most-famously penning the Green Lantern/Green Arrow comics, which were illustrated by Neal Adams, O’Neil’s collaborator on Batman. The story is titled Tap, Tap, Tap, and it is one of 12 that will appear in tomorrow’s Green Arrow anniversary anthology. It is also a very touching look at the life of the legendary DC Comics creator, one that is entirely silent throughout, with the exception of the final page. As DC describes it in its own press, “The intimate look at Denny’s life chronicles the challenges and victories both in and out of comics, from his childhood to raising a family, and his stellar career as a writer, until his passing in 2020.” Edited June 28, 2021 by tv echo Link to comment

tv echo July 26, 2021 Share July 26, 2021 (edited) The Justice League's Green Arrow Officially Has Too Much Power KEVIN ERDMANN JULY 25, 2021https://screenrant.com/green-arrow-justice-league-too-powerful-dc-comics/ Quote In the latest issue of DC's Justice League, Black Canary calls out Green Arrow for having way too much control and power. Not only is Green Arrow paying for the Justice League out of his own pocket, but it's been revealed that he's also bankrolling the intelligence group known as Checkmate due to the dismantling of DC's intelligence community thanks to the efforts of Leviathan. Regardless, for a hero as progressive as Oliver Queen combined with his recent rhetoric about new voices being needed to prevent single-minded thinking, this seems awfully hypocritical. In previous issues of Justice League, it was confirmed that Green Arrow is now the Justice League's new financier with the governments of the world no longer being able to pay after Leviathan and Batman became broke after The Joker War. However, Green Arrow did ask Batman to help keep him in check, wanting him to step in and intercede if he saw something he didn't like about Green Arrow's new position as a dual leader and financial backer. However, paying for the League's operations is apparently only the tip of the iceberg (which is concerning). * * * Now, Justice League #65 from Brian Michael Bendis and Steve Pugh sees Black Canary discovering that Oliver Queen is also secretly paying for the operations of Checkmate as well. Originally created as a division of Task Force X and the Suicide Squad, Checkmate would go on to become its own intelligence organization sponsored by the United Nation, monitoring metahumans across the globe with its operatives fitting into a chess-inspired hierarchy. However, with Green Arrow serving as its new financial backer, that may also make him the secret King of the organization while also helping to lead the Justice League. Cleary, this major consolidation of power and control feels super hypocritical for someone like Oliver Queen, and Black Canary tells him as much in this new issue.

tv echo March 8, 2022 Share March 8, 2022 (edited) Green Arrow: Stranded is now on sale (starting today)...https://www.dccomics.com/graphic-novels/green-arrow-stranded Quote Following a plane crash on a deserted island, 13-year-old Oliver Queen must learn the skills he needs to survive and to protect his injured father. Ollie has always hated the idea of hunting, but his dad insisted they go on this trip with his business partner, Sebastian, and his son, Tyler. When Ollie fails to take a perfect shot, the teasing starts, and he wonders if his dad will ever be proud of him again. But just when he thought their trip couldn't get any worse, their private jet is struck by lightning and crash lands on a deserted island. Ollie awakens to find his dad seriously injured and the other passengers nowhere in sight. If they hope to survive, he’s going to have to learn skills he’s been avoiding developing so far. He has never felt less sure of who he is...or if he will be able to hang on until help arrives. You can see a 5-page preview at the following link:https://www.dccomics.com/reader/#/comics/466399 And here's a review:Review – Green Lantern: Stranded – Boy vs. Island Ray Goldfield March 8, 20222https://geekdad.com/2022/03/review-green-lantern-stranded-boy-vs-island/ Quote And that’s what this story largely comes down to—a boy vs. nature as he comes out of it changed and ready for a bold future. This book does a great job of illustrating complex father-son relationships and the way trauma can bring important things to the surface. At the same time, this book reads pretty quickly and ends with a great visual but one that leaves certain things unanswered. Artist Bell Hosalla, who I’m not familiar with before this, only has to draw four characters and makes them all distinct, but the depiction of the island is where the art really shines. It’s more of an adventure story than a prequel to a superhero’s tale, but I could see it being a good entry point to the character for new readers. Edited March 8, 2022 by tv echo Link to comment

There are no burgeoning powers, aliens or monsters in sight. But it is a captivating book that readers from all ages and all walks of life will find relatable. Whether you’re giving a speech, starting at a new school or going on an adventure, it’s okay to admit you’re afraid. You can’t be brave until you find the strength to admit you’re scared.

tv echo May 9, 2022 Share May 9, 2022 (edited) Meg Cabot and Alexandra Monir Look Back on Bringing Black Canary to the World of YA By JENNA ANDERSON - May 7, 2022https://comicbook.com/dc/news/meg-cabot-alexandra-monir-black-canary-ignite-breaking-silence-interview/ Quote Over the past few decades, Dinah Lance / Black Canary has become a unique staple of the DC universe, making her way into live-action and animated movies, several television series, multiple video games, and countless issues of comics. Along the way, she also has been reimagined for the young adult space in two key ways — first in the graphic novel Black Canary: Ignite, written by Meg Cabot with art by Cara McGee. Published in 2019, the middle-grade story follows a tween Dinah Lance as she learns the truth about her family legacy, while also dealing with the drama of best friends, overprotective parents, and the perils of junior high. Just under two years later, readers were also treated to Black Canary: Breaking Silence, a 2020 prose novel written by Alex Monir. Published under the DC Icons line, Breaking Silence follows a seventeen-year-old Dinah through a similar discovery of her powers, as she discovers her voice amid patriarchal dystopia ruled by the Court of Owls. In honor of Black Canary's recent birthday this past April 10th, as well as the upcoming 75th anniversary of her first comic book appearance, ComicBook.com sat down with both Cabot and Monir to break down their unique and significant additions to the character's storied history, answer questions from fans, and so much more! * * *Both of your books reference Green Arrow in one way or another, in wildly different ways that flip the script of how people usually regard Green Arrow and Black Canary's relationship. What was the decision process behind referencing Oliver the way that you did in your books? Monir: Oh, yeah, because with middle grade, you probably couldn't do the whole romance thing, huh? I love a good Meg Cabot romance. Cabot: Thank you. That's so sweet. But no, we didn't want to get into it, because also, we really wanted to keep it just focused on Dinah, and not have Oliver. Also, I had a really low word count, so we really had to keep it at a certain number of pages. So even though I was really bummed about that, we couldn't have him [directly] in it, because there just wasn't enough room. So I am jealous that you got to maybe explore that a little more, because I didn't. I was like, "maybe book two," and then that never happened. Monir: Yeah, that was super fun. When I was writing that, I was like "Am I being paid to write fan fiction right now? Because that's what it feels like." Cabot: That's so fun. Monir: It really feels like that. Yeah, I loved getting to flip the script, and have her be the star and him essentially be the sidekick. She's the more powerful one. He's the one following her lead in this. And of course, there is a little bit of the enemies-to-lovers trope that I love with them, that I wrote in there. That was definitely one of the most fun parts, and getting to see him in a different light. Writing that love story was so fun. It was like my YA dream.

Trini May 17, 2022 Share May 17, 2022 'Connor Hawke and the Green Arrow Legacy' Quote Enter Connor Hawke. Created by Kelley Puckett, the same writer who would later go on to create Cassandra Cain, Connor Hawke was a Zen Buddhist, enthusiastic Green Arrow fanboy, and, unbeknownst to the Ashram’s newest arrival, the long-lost son of Oliver Queen. But Green Arrow was not the only legacy Connor embodied. Half white from his father’s side, a quarter Korean and a quarter Black from his mother’s side, and incongruously blond, Connor Hawke represented the confluence of everything from the Zen Buddhism previously largely represented by white heroes to the confrontation of racial injustice begun during his father’s adventures with Hal Jordan.

tv echo June 24, 2022 Share June 24, 2022 In the latest Arrowverse crossover comic series, Oliver Queen returns as the Spectre in the future (2049)... Oliver Queen Has Returned From The Dead in Arrowverse Canon BY LIAM MCGUIRE PUBLISHED 3 DAYS AGOhttps://screenrant.com/arrowverse-arrow-oliver-queen-alive-cw-comic/ Quote In Earth-Prime: Hero's Twilight #6 by Jeff Hersh, Thomas Pound, Will Robson, Alex Sinclair, and Tom Napolitano by DC Comics, the Arrowverse heroes of 2049 stop the villain Magog and his evil army, as they're deemed worthy by a shadowy figure. After the battle, Supergirl returns to the Hall of Justice, revealing that Flash, Superman, Black Lightning, and others were watching the young heroes as they were told not to intervene in the test. A mysterious voice responds, saying the trial "pales next to what will be expected of them," as Oliver Queen's Spectre, somehow alive, reveals himself, saying they "must be ready" for what's coming next. * * * The Arrowverse comic crossover is canon in The CW's television universe, so seeing Oliver Queen alive is a sight to behold. While Stephen Amell has mentioned that the door would never be fully closed on the hero's return, the fact he's been brought back already in the canon is a total surprise. Furthermore, the story ending with the tagline, "The End... for now," seems to suggest they have future plans for the hero, whether in the comic books or small screen. Green Arrow’s Return Is The CW’s Biggest Missed Opportunity BY LIAM MCGUIRE PUBLISHED 2 DAYS AGOhttps://screenrant.com/arrowverse-green-arrow-mia-returns-biggest-missed-opportunity/ Quote In Earth-Prime: Hero's Twilight #6 by Jeff Hersh, Thomas Pound, Will Robson, Alex Sinclair, and Tom Napolitano by DC Comics, the heroes of 2049 take on the villain Magog who sends his army of villains that he's been collecting throughout the miniseries at them. Among the heroes is Mia Queen's Green Arrow, who returns with a metal arm as she helps Nora and Bart take down the bad guys. In the canon comic, Green Arrow is instrumental in stopping Magog and joins the future heroes in their takedown. While it's great to see Mia Queen's Green Arrow in action, with the revelation Oliver Queen's Spectre is somehow alive and testing the new heroes for a bigger challenge coming soon, it can't help feel the comic sets up a missed opportunity for the hero. The CW doesn't currently have plans or announced a follow-up comic or live-action project to follow up on the Earth-Prime crossover, so after seeing Mia kick some ass and fight alongside her fellow heroes, who knows when she'll next pop up. There are rumors Mia Queen could appear in the final season of The Flash, which is great, but seeing her in action further emphasizes how great a live-action series (or comic) starring the new Green Arrow could have been. Oliver Queen Returned to the Arrowverse - Here's Where Fans Last Saw Him BY ANDREW HERBISON PUBLISHED 1 DAY AGOhttps://www.cbr.com/oliver-queen-arrowverse-return-dc/ Quote Although Oliver Queen met his final end in the Crisis on Infinite Earths crossover event, he just returned to the Arrowverse in the most unlikely of ways. Throughout the comic book tie-in Earth-Prime #6 (by Jeff Hersh, Thomas Pound, Will Robson, Alex Sinclair and Tom Napolitano), Bart and Nora Allen, the children of the Flash, were being watched by a hooded figure. At the end of the issue, it was revealed that this mysterious stranger was a familiar face. * * * It was Oliver Queen as the Spectre all along. He watched Bart and Nora handle the threat of Magog and when they had proven themselves ready, he helped them defeat Magog by restoring the heroes that disappeared during his attacks. At the end of the issue, Oliver revealed himself to the heroes assembled in the Hall of Justice with a warning of threats to come. Link to comment
tv echo June 27, 2022 Share June 27, 2022 More on this Arrowverse comic... Oliver Queen and Mia's Green Arrow Return for DC's Arrowverse Event BY BRANDON SCHREUR PUBLISHED 3 DAYS AGOhttps://www.cbr.com/oliver-queen-mia-green-arrow-return-arrowverse-event-dc/ Quote Two Arrow characters, Oliver and Mia Queen, make a grand return in DC's Earth-Prime: Hero's Twilight #6 Arrowverse event. * * * At the end of Earth-Prime: Hero's Twilight #6, the figure takes off his hood and reveals himself to be Oliver Queen -- no longer operating as Green Arrow, but now as the Spectre. Assisting from afar in the heroes' final attack against Magog, the issue ends with Queen delivering a warning about further danger to come. "Changes are coming," Queen says. "An unrest stirs in our reality. Cosmic forces are aligning...This trial only pales next to what will be expected of them. They must be ready for what's coming." Earlier in the issue, Bart and Nora travel to Star City to deal with an attack from Evil Eye, who is working with Magog. Upon arriving, the two find Mia Queen -- who has taken up the mantle of Green Arrow -- fighting off enemies and doing what she can to defend the locale. After Magog makes her and a number of others mysteriously disappear throughout the course of Earth-Prime: Hero's Twilight #6, she's brought back for the final confrontation by Queen's Spectre.
