: From Newsarama:
: "One of the major highlights at Saturday's DC panel came late in the
: presentation, during a Q&A when an irreverent voice from the back of the room
: asked when the company was going to stop talking about all of these
: bullshit projects and talk about the really cool stuff.
: That voice, as it turned out, belonged to Kevin Smith, who made his way to
: the front of the room and officially announced his year-long Green Arrow
: project. An art team of Phil Hester and Ande Park has been tabbed for the
: project, and DC even had a slide of preliminary art from the series,
: featuring a rather Silver Age-esque Oliver Queen as Green Arrow, complete
: with a boxing glove arrow.
: During the brief Q&A with Smith, the writer answered fans' questions about
: the series, revealing such tidbits as: Conner Hawke will make an appearance,
: and his relationship with Queen will be addressed, as well as Oliver's
: relationship with Black Canary. Smith also said that he's requested that
: Green Arrow not join with any teams or appear in many other titles during his
: year-long stint with the character, something which will give him ample time
: to clarify and straighten out some of the character's continuity troubles and
: reveal just where he's been since Green Arrow #100, where it appeared that he
: died.
: 'I'm not out to reinvent Green Arrow with this series," Smith said. "I'm
: just out to tell good stories.'"
