As comic fans eagerly await the October 10 premiere of the new CW show ARROW, we have news that will make the countdown even more exciting. DC Entertainment is producing a new, weekly digital comic book based on the show that will also debut on October 10.
The new digital comic series will take fans deeper into the world of ARROW, delving further into character back stories and often filling in the gaps between episodes. With ARROW Executive Producers Marc Guggenheim and Andrew Kreisberg on writing duties – this comic is a must-have for fans of the show. On the art side, legendary GREEN ARROW comic book writer and artist Mike Grell is on board to draw the first two covers, with rising stars Sergio Sandoval and Jorge Jimenez tapped to do artwork in subsequent chapters.
“This is incredibly exciting for us. For one thing, Andrew and I are not just television and comic book writers -- we're comic book fans. We're also extremely excited to be doing something that I don't think has ever been done before: a weekly comic which ties directly into a TV series with stories that fill in important gaps in the television narrative and written by the show's writing staff,” said Guggenheim.
The first digital chapter of ARROW will go on sale for $.99 on October 10, followed by new weekly chapters each Wednesday. The comic series will also be collected in print with three digital chapters on sale in one print issue for $3.99 starting on November 28.
