New Comics This Week From DC: April 25, 2023

Green Arrow is back with a new solo series in the new comics this week from DC.

Following DC's Dark Crisis on Infinite Earths event, Green Arrow/Oliver Queen is missing, last seen trapped by Pariah in another Multiverse alongside the Justice League. Oliver is the one member of the League that didn't return to Earth-Prime by the end of the event, but now Dark Crisis writer Joshua Williamson and artist Sean Izaakse are telling the story of where the Emerald Archer has wound up in Green Arrow. As of writing, Green Arrow is set to be a six-issue miniseries, but Izaakse has previously said the title can be extended depending on its pre-orders. A preview for the series' first issue shows Black Canary/Dinah Lance, Arsenal/Roy Harper and Green Arrow/Connor Hawke working together in Gotham City, the very place Roy's lost daughter, Lian, has been running around within DC's Catwoman series.
