The Future of Green Arrow (a Prestige Mini-Series in the works)

Darren Vincenzo told me: “GREEN ARROW #1,000,000 comes out the month after #137. Kevin Smith will start writing sometime after that. But his first issue will not follow immediately after that. Right now it seems likely his first arc will be a mini-series followed by a re-launch. That’s all I can say right now. ”

Kevin Smith confirmed a little while back that GREEN ARROW will start with a re-launch. Kevin told me: “… that this mini-series that’s going to re-launch the book is going to be a four to six issue prestige format event . And wait’ll you see what we’re going to do with the character…” After the mini-series, look for a new ongoing series starting with issue #1.Kevin stated that, “We’re starting over, actually.” Also, so far, no artist(s) have been named officially.

Lobdell also commented on the future of DD that almost wasn’t. “Now also might be a good time to apologize to KEVIN SMITH. My understanding is that I sort of worked a storyline out from under him in and that he wanted to do a story where MATT got his eyesight back…and that FLYING BLIND put a kink in those plans. Had I known this, I would worked towards a different arc. I think Kevin is brilliant, and I would have loved to have seen his take on that story. That said, I’m looking forward to his upcoming run on DD.”
