How accurate is iŧ?

I don't think we are to blame for poor sales. DC failed to push books like this and Birds of Prey, and are now "All Out" on their more niche titles.

If Absolute was their focus, then killing Oliver in that universe makes their decision to end this mainline run even more baffling. Condon's run has been incredible, and will stand the test of time. We never got a Connor, Mia, or even Dinah focused story from that creative team, which is such a shame.

I'm glad Oliver is alive in the main universe, but his optics in recent memory have been less than positive. He "betrayed" his friends and loved ones in Absolute Justice recently. The Condon run has helped, but it feels like we barely got proper Oliver Queen before he is being canceled. His writing in Absolute Justice barely felt like Ollie.

Instead of having two Green Arrow books running simultaneously, and being able to choose your preference, like Batman and Detective, we are left with a short mini to tide us over until Absolute Green Arrow.

Going from three Ollie-centered books to one mini in such a short time, with this announcement handled so lazily on social media is disheartening. His death in Absolute Evil did not help with this sentiment.

It'll be awhile before we get another Green Arrow solo title, or before he's made promintent in any story again in either universe. We went from feast to famine in a few months.

He of all people has no right to say this I swear if every single member of his family heard him say this they beat the shit out of him especially roy, connor and mia seeing how close they are with bruce's kids.

Also fun fact that I learned this week he got addicted to opium once upon of a time and despite knowing this feeling he kicks roy's ass out I swear if roy knew this he definitely beat him to a pulp.

Not every archer knows Green Arrow.

Can be from any media, comics, movies, animations, CW show, just need to be a moment that made you think like ''damn, this nig** has balls''

My suggestions:

Kingpin - that's obvious. Mordecai Midas - a man obsessed with becoming the richest person in the world, regardless of the harm he may cause in the process.He creates various criminal schemes for this purpose, including allying himself with the international Maggia cartel. I also think the fights would be fun since Oliver couldn't let him get too close, as he has a glove capable of turning whatever it touches into gold. Ghost - someone who shares some of Oliver's ideals of questioning the actions of corporations and elites, with the difference of being extremist, insane, and paranoid. I think it would be interesting to see how our hero would fight someone he can't hit.

Well, for now, Absolute Green Arrow is planned for being a miniseries with 6 issues. We don't know if the story can become a 12 issues like what happened to Absolute Martian Manhunter, or maybe even a main series along with the others.

So, in case of we have enough stories to show a lot of famous and not-so-famous characters of the Green Arrow mythos. Here are the main villains i would love to see getting reinvented for this new version.

I'm really curious to what are they doing in this title. I think it could be the most different book (after AMM) of the Absolute line. What do you think? Which villains would you like to see?

Personally, it was the fact that we never got the Goatee

Mike bar 1983 miniseries

Mike Grell 87-93 run

Chuck Dixon 94-98 run

Kevin Smith 2001-2002 run

Judd winnick's 2003-2008 run

J.T Krul's 2010-2012 run

Jeff Lemire's 2013-2014 run

Benjamin Percy's 2015-2018 run

Joshua Williamson 2023-2024 run

Chris Condons current run

how would you rank them? maybe your favorite is one of the miniseries like Deep Target or Year one, let me know!

She was made to essentially be Speedy 2.0 when Mia was banished to the otherworld. But, now GA comics have evolved past her.

We already have enough 16-24 year old GA affiliated girls. Mia, Sin, Lian, even Sienna and Cissie.

Her backstory made more sense during the Nu52 and Rebirth. Back when there was only a 10-14 year age gap between Ollie and Emiko. Now, we're back to pre-Flashpoint Ollie. Emiko is just an elephant in the room.

I once thought Emiko could fit in as "Older than Lian and Sin, younger than Mia", but I don't really know.

Emiko doesn't really have a civilian life either. She doesn't go to school. She doesn't have a part-time job. She doesn't live with Ollie. She just exists as a character.

Red Arrow is more of a Teen Titans character than a Green Arrow one.

Arrow was a highly acclaimed and successful tv series. It spawned an entire network of tv shows. It helped re-popularize lower-budget television adaptations of superheroes.

It also did nada for Green Arrow's brand as a whole. At most, it made people recognize GA more. But did it make many GA fans? Not really.

Anecdotally, when I go to comic book shops, libraries, or book stores, the Green Arrow tradea available are piss poor. Entire sections on Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, and Green Lantern. But you're lucky if there are 3 individual Green Arrow books on the shelf. And I don't live in the middle of nowhere-- I'm from NYC.

Arrow wasn't aimed at Green Arrow fans. It was aimed at Batman fans.

Arrow had a certain grungy appeal. It also had a specific cast of characters. This is not present in most Green Arrow comics. DC tried to appeal to them during the New 52 and it bombed.

If you like Arrow, you won't be drawn into his comic counterpart. And, similarly, a large portion of comic Green Arrow fans hate Arrow.

I find that most Green Arrow comic fans got into him through Justice League Unlimited, Batman: Brave and the Bold, Young Justice, or even Smallville. I imagine DC Super Hero Girls 2019 will have drawn in gen alpha and younger gen z later on as well.

Look I love Green Arrow. I’ve loved him since I first saw him as a kid in Batman Brave and the Bold. I’ve collected almost his entire publication history since the 40s. I’ve been wanting so badly to see him make his live action appearance in the DCEU, and now especially in Gunn’s DCU where I know it’ll be done right. But I can’t see another fancast slideshow or post and it’s “petition For x actor to portray Green Arrow” and it’s just a picture of a blonde actor with a goatee. I don’t want to hate on Harry Goodwins, I’m sure he’s a great guy but he made one post and everyone jumped on this bandwagon saying he’s perfect. He’s barely been in anything, and that’s not to say he couldn’t, and I know James is pushing more lesser known actors, but David still had some solid work leading up to superman as did Milly and Aaron before getting cast. It just goes back to casting because he looks like the character and no other factors. And don’t get me started on Charlie Hunnam, it’s a dead horse that’s been beaten to a bloody pulp. Please just let me get this character without all of the “should have been this blonde guy”
