Season 5 Cover Countdown: Green Arrow #91

Cover Countdown July 6, 2016 Craig Byrne

With 91 days to Arrow Season 5, we have another classic comic book cover.

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 91 days left until Arrow Season 5, considering The CW has announced an October 5 premiere date.

Here’s today’s entry.

Green Arrow #91

Who is that on the cover of Green Arrow #91? Oliver Queen… or his new-found son Connor Hawke?

Most likely the latter, but you can’t deny that this cover is cool. Interesting historical note: This issue followed issue #0 of Green Arrow that came out the previous month following the Zero Hour crossover. That #0 was the first of two #0 issues for the Emerald Archer… another one came out in 2012 as part of the “New 52,” and featured a show-inspired appearance by Tommy Merlyn.

As a bonus, here’s another #91… a very moody cover featuring the Black Canary and… Batman!

91 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.
