Malcolm Merlyn & Felicity Smoak kom bij John Diggle In DC Comics’ Green Arrow 

#Olicity In New 52? Channel 52 Reveals Malcolm Merlyn & Felicity Smoak Join John Diggle In DC Comics’ Green Arrow In Time For CW Arrow Season 3? Spoilers’ish

DC Comics New 52 Green Arrow series editor Brian Cunningham teased the new direction for the comic series in October 2014. This is the back-of-comic-book returning Channel New 52 feature in most New 52 comic books today.

Interestingly, it sure looks like villain Malcolm Merlyn and Oliver Queen ally and potential love interest make the leap into the New 52 along with John Diggle who already did almost 1 year ago.

Slight spoilers follow for Green Arrow comics and TV.

Will we see Oliver Queen, Green Arrow’s alter ego, and Felicity Smoak become a romantic item in the comics? Their “relationship” will be explored in Season 3 of CW’s Arrow. #Olicity anyone?

(As an aside, I am excited that one of my all-time favourite character in Mark Shaw, Manhunter, will be part of CW Arrow this upcoming season. More on that here.)

Interestingly, Season 3 of CW’s Arrow also launches in October 2014 on the 8th. So, it seems DC is trying for synergies between the small screen and its comics.

I also wonder with the debut of Season 1 of CW’s The Flash, and a TV cross-over with CW’s Arrow in the works, will see closer ties between the Flash and Green Arrow comics in the DC New 52?

Anyhow, with the apparent news I opened this piece with, below are the bios for Felicity Smoak and John Diggle released on CW Arrow’s facebook timed with Season 2 of the TV series. Will we get something similar for Season 3?

We also have a Who’s Who for the League of Assassins below of which comic book archer Merlyn – a similar, but different character from Malcolm Meryln – is featured. The League of Assassins showed up in Season 2 and is expected, alongside the Suicide Squad’s Amanda Waller, to be a presence in Season 3.

Malcolm Merlyn, and his alter ego as the Dark Archer, is set to play a large role in CW’s Arrow Season 3 as a regular cast member; and Thea Queen’s, Oliver’s half-sister’s, biological father.

Good writing, art, creativeness does. Its a shame they let go of the last creative team, (who were doing great with the series), just so they can fanservice the TV fans and shippers.

The previous creative told the story they wanted to tell. They weren’t forced off the book.

Really excited about Felicity joining this comic universe! She was a great addition to the show! Happy to see Diggle, Oliver, and Felicity together.

Yass! Finally, I get to have my insanely popular Original Team Arrow all together in the Green Arrow comics. Thanks so much for this article! It speaks volumes about Felicity Smoak & John Diggle that they’ve been incorporated into the Green Arrow comic universe. What a stroke of brilliance on the part of DC Comics. I can’t wait until October to subscribe to my very first comic book.Outstanding! I’m a happy happy fan.

Thanks for this! I’ve been waiting for new info. Thrilled Felicity is crossing over!

Thanks for this. I’ve been waiting and hunting around for information on the new edition for awhile now. Great to finally see a teaser for it. Definitely going to be checking out the Green Arrow in October. Very excited to see them bringing Felicity Smoak, in whatever form they do, to the team. And I won’t lie… Oliver and Felicity? Bring it.
