    I like that 2014 redesign fine for a new, younger Batgirl character. Like if they were going to replace Barbara with some new character who wasn't any of the others.

    The newer one carries over elements from the 2014 version, but makes it more age appropriate for Barbara.

    Arisia's the orange young female Green Lantern that usually has a white shirt that's been a mainstay since the 80's, even featured in one of the DC animated movies. A couple other of those names were fairly popular side-GL's during the Johns run. I think two of those had a bickering relationship with eachother that fans at the time found enduring. Understandably, not a lot of use after the Spectrum Corp stuff.

    Seriously. Again???!

    Well, whatever. I could tell a few pages into the first issue that this GL run wasn't going to be for me. And bullshit like this will make sure I never give the writer a second chance somewhere down the line.

    Aquaman and Green Arrow team up in new series | GamesRadar+

    DC icons Green Arrow and Aquaman are teaming up in a new series titled Deep Target starring in October.

    Hey, it doesn't have the same ring as Green Lantern/Green Arrow, but at least they both wear green.

    The new seven-issue series was confirmed by DC but first announced via Twitter by writer Brandon Thomas, who will also write the upcoming Aquaman solo limited series Aquaman: Becoming.

    "Arthur Curry & Oliver Queen team up (and throw down) in Deep Target, a mind-bending, worlds altering adventure that launches in October!" reads Thomas' tweet.

    The series will be illustrated by Ronan Cliquet and Ulises Arreola with covers by Marco Santucci and InHyuk Lee.

    Both characters are without solo series at the moment, although the pair are currently spending time as teammates in Brian Bendis' Justice League series.

    You don't really see these two characters interacting much.

    It’s been announced:

    DC to launch new Human Target title by Tom King and Greg Smallwood | GamesRadar+

    The Human Target is apparently returning to DC.

    Writer Tom King's recent tweet promising the announcement of a new project initially put us in the mind of the Justice League International, as several arms of characters relevant to that run appear in the cropped image. But the clever visual ploy might actually be hinting at who the arms are aiming at - a Human Target.

    The Black Label title will be illustrated by Greg Smallwood, and with DC's October 2021 solicitations just around the corner, King's timing almost certainly indicates an October debut, appropriate given it's the month millions of people dress up in costumes.

    While there have been two characters that have gone by the title the Human Target in DC comics history, the new King-Smallwood title almost certainly will be focused on the second - Christopher Chance.


    Created by the comic book brand names Len Wein, Carmine Infantino, and Dick Giordano in 1972, the character first appeared in Action Comics #419 as a backup story 'The Assassin-Express Contract.'

    Most of his early appearances were in backup stories in Action Comics, The Brave and the Bold, and Detective Comics, and guest appearances.

    Inspired by witnessing his own father's murder when he was a boy, Chance is a private investigator, and sort-of bodyguard who as opposed to protecting individuals in danger of more powerful criminals and killers, disguises himself as his clients and assumes their identity to even the odds.

    The concept has inspired two TV series - a short-lived 1992 ABC series starring post-'Jesse's Girl' Rick Springfield and then a 2010 Fox series starring Mark Valley that aired for two seasons.

    The character has also appeared a couple of times in the fifth and sixth seasons of the WB's Arrow played by actor Wil Travel, sometimes coming to the aid of Green Arrow's team.

    Writer Peter Milligan adapted the character for a 1999 Vertigo Human Target limited series, which was followed by a graphic novel Human Target: The Final Cut, and another Vertigo Human Target series that lasted 21 issues.

    Another DC Comics' Human Target series written by co-creator Len Wein was published to coincide with the 2010 TV series.

    But don't forget about the Justice League International era connection just yet. The late '80s series by J. M. DeMatteis, Keith Giffen, Kevin Maguire may still play some role in the new King-Smallwood title.

    Newsarama will report more details as they become available.
