Issue #2017 leans into bold reinvention and expansive world-building. DC’s Absolute Universe continues to impress with Absolute Green Arrow, a darker, more grounded take on the Emerald Archer mythos from Pornsak Pichetshote and Rafael Albuquerque. With Oliver Queen dead and a mysterious killer targeting corrupt elites, Dinah Lance is pulled into a brutal, street-level mystery that blends superhero storytelling with crime and horror elements.
On the Image front, Fireborn #1 expands Curt Pires’ growing Lost Fantasy universe, introducing a new hero, Aaron Hillburg, whose life is upended when a dragon egg awakens an ancient magical lineage. It’s a high-energy mix of modern fantasy, action, and shared-universe storytelling that feels designed for long-term investment.
Elsewhere, the issue revisits cult sci-fi history with Disney’s Black Hole Odyssey, a nostalgic deep dive into the 1979 film, its eerie tone, and the wave of comics and toys it inspired. Additional highlights include a Back Issue Beauty spotlight on Justice League International #1, a Lost Character feature on Tragg and the Sky Gods, a reader “Hooked on Comics” story centered on Flash Gordon, the latest installment of Marc Jackson’s Adventure Guy, and a full slate of new releases and upcoming comics.
