Green Lantern Sales Numbers

For me its that he's so unrecognizable the last few years. If you told me this Ollie Queen was the son of the real Ollie Queen I could totally believe it. It's more than changing to flashy hip costumes and getting rid of facial hair. They made him much younger and changed what had been a very well defined persona from the late 60s to about 10 years ago.

It's like they tried to match him up to the crappy Smallville and later CW Arrow version. I never in a million years would have been a fan of the character if that is what he had always been. And I have zero interest in GA before Denny O'Neil revamped him from a Batman clone. My love affair with the character is a specific take on him that lasted about 40 years, with no interest in the before or after.

My exposure to GA is through The Longbow Hunters by Grell, Quiver by Kevin Smith and the two followup trades, one by Meltzer. Never read any New 52 but did read the Rebirth trades by Percy.

The Percy stuff I guess was the weakest, but I was enioying it.

He is a hard sell these days. I'm not big on heroes killing, but Ollie should be one of those just based on his weapons. The first couple seasons of Arrow had that and I can't even watch the show anymore.

Dare I even ask how Green Arrow continuity has been since the New 52?

Percy was a humongous upgrade over the New52 Green Arrow. That was unreadable.

Yeah, I tend to like Lemire, but his Green Arrow never clicked with me.

It irks me that to this day, DC has NEVER collected the first Green Arrow mini series that Mike Barr and Trevor Von Eeden did in the 80s. With all the stuff that DC has collected for Green Arrow, it's a crime that 4 part mini series hasn't gotten any love.

My local shop this week told me GL is selling really well in their store, which surprised me. He said it was one of his best selling DC titles he has.

Look how Batman is dropping. That's the fallout from their bait and switch about Bruce marrying Selina. They sold a zillion comics with that scam, but it did damage that they'll probably never repair.

I can only speak for my store, but when I add the variant covers for GL and for Batman, Bruce narrowly wins over Hal.

That's actually encouraging. I'm glad to hear that.

That's some serious slippage for Batman, as the backlash over his "marriage" sets in.

It looks like Odyssey is plummeting toward a very predictable demise. The idea that you could print "Justice League" on the cover of a comic and use Darkseid and Jessica Cruz as protagonists was so inept and clueless that whoever thought of it should be fired.

And Geoff Johns was supposed to write Doomsday Clock in one year, but now it's going to take more than two years! Yeah, I know what his fans will say -- "But it's the art that's causing the delays!" Even though Johns has been writing comics for over 20 years and knows perfectly well how long it takes to get something written and drawn.
