Season 5 Cover Countdown: Green Arrow #51

Every year on GreenArrowTV’s Twitter feed and Facebook page, we’d count down to the new season’s premiere with a classic Green Arrow-related comic book cover. After all, it was the comic books that inspired the TV series to begin with.

Since there had sometimes been confusion about the covers without any context, this year we’re going to describe the comic book covers that we are showing. The issue numbers on the comics will correspond to the number of days left before Season 5 begins. For example, there are 51 days left until Arrow Season 5, considering The CW has announced an October 5 premiere date.

Here’s today’s entry.

Green Arrow #51 (New 52)

Deathstroke (Slade Wilson) has been one of the best things to appear on Arrow the TV series, and this Green Arrow comic book cover features a confrontation between their four-color counterparts. This was one of the last “New 52” issues before the “Rebirth” reboot earlier this year, also by the same writer, Ben Percy.

51 days are left to the Arrow season premiere – be sure to come back daily for more countdown posts! Past “Cover Countdown” posts can be found here.
