Green Arrow has been a regular series for DC since the New 52 launched in 2011 — as of last twelvemonth , issues of the series wereaveraging between 30 and 20,000 copies a month . But the hope of DC Rebirth ’s change for Oliver Queen have manifestly been met with surprising , rousing success .
Green Arrow : Rebirth # 1 , by Benjamin Percy , Juan Ferreyra , and Otto Schmidt , was part of the first undulation of DC ’s Rebirth released last hebdomad , give usour first look at what DC Comics desire to do with its booksin the wake of the fully grown reveals of DC Rebirth # 1 . Percy is not new to Oliver Queen , having written Green Arrow since its forty-first issue last year , but Rebirth is heralding several popular movement with the emerald archer that may be responsible for its fantastic reception .
Not only is Ollie moving back to the social - issue driven warrior that define popular takes on the hero in the ’ sixty and ’ 70s , rather than the techno - elect clientele leader / crimefighter he ’s been in the New 52 , he ’s also working with the Black Canary again — something that DC seems to beheavily hinting atas a rekindling of their romantic relationship , a huge part of the characters ’ lives from before DC ’s 2011 reboot , and something that has not survive since then ( in fact , the role hardly know each other ) .
Oh , and Ollie has his goatee back .
This all , seemingly , has been met with a megahit sales , fit in to Percy , who today took to Twitter to substantiate that not only was Green Arrow : Rebirth # 1 getting a 2d printing to cope with demand , but had sold Union of 90,000 copy in the process :
As I sympathize it , we ’re upwards of 90,000 copies properly now . Thank you , readers .

Like we said up top , that ’s around triple what your average outcome of Green Arrow is selling lately . For comparison , the first offspring of the New 52 reboot sold around 55,000 copieswhen it released in September 2011 . We sadly do n’t have much information about the achiever of DC ’s Rebirth titles just yet to compare Green Arrow to , but cave in the relatively good response the enterprisingness has received from sports fan andcritics so far , it may not be the only DC comics series to get a with child bump this month .
