DC Comics Extends Absolute Green Arrow


DC Comics is extending Absolute Green Arrow from six issues to twelve, writer Pornsak Pichetshote announced on Instagram. Illustrated by Rafael Albuquerque, the series has sold well: issue #1 ranked second in units and dollars among comic shops in May (behind only Absolute Batman #20), and issue #2 landed in the top five on both charts in June.

Pichetshote credited the success to series architect Scott Snyder and DC's editors, adding that he was surprised the project got greenlit at all, given how cautious the company felt during his time there as an employee.
