Green Arrow By Jeff Lemire and Andrea Sorrentino Reading Order

This reading order is designed to give an outline of Jeff Lemire and Andrea Sorrentino’s run on Green Arrow for DC Comics. It attempts to find the best way to showcase the narrative that stretches through these creators’ time with the character.

The continuity details relating to each specific storyline are explained in the “Review” of each storyline.

All of this can be found under the “Continuity” section of each link.

New 52

As of now, Jeff Lemire and Andrea Sorrentino’s time with Green Arrow (Reading Order) takes place exclusively within a specific comic run from the New 52 era. At the beginning of this era, Green Arrow’s history had almost completely been reset. There were also few significant adventures that took place before this run, making it easy to jump right into the story at this point.

Jeff Lemire and Andrea Sorrentino’s run begins with Green Arrow #16. This issue is an explosive start to a dramatic storyline. The resulting narrative explores brand new mysteries that add to the Green Arrow mythos while also introducing a new and lasting character, Emiko (Reading Order). This narrative continues on until Green Arrow #34, which ends the current storyline, and Green Arrow: Future End #1, which looks at a potential future that is thematically relevant to the current narrative.
