DC Comics has released the first preview of its new Green Arrow comics reboot. Chris Condon and Montos will launch Oliver Queen’s new adventures in Star City later this month.

Green Arrow #18 follows the events of DC’s blockbuster summer event Absolute Power and the DC All In Special #1. In the upcoming issue, Green Arrow heads back to his hometown to stop criminals in their tracks. Recently released preview pages from Green Arrow #18 show the Emerald Archer catching a thief before uncovering what appears to be an even darker scheme at play. DC also released cover art for the issue, including main cover art by Taurin Clarke and variants by Guillem March, including a foil cover featuring Green Arrow and Black Canary. The main cover art for the issue features DC’s new All-In branding and the tagline teases “A New Era for the Emerald Archer Begins!” Green Arrow #18 goes on sale Nov. 27 and can be pre-ordered now.

DC’s solicitation for the issue teases Oliver Queen’s return to Star City will have him hunting down a killer. “The cold-blooded murder of a Star City businessman announces the arrival of a horrifying and mysterious serial killer to Oliver Queen’s hometown. When details of the victim’s dark business dealings emerge, Green Arrow must contend with hard truths from the city’s past and race to stop the murderer before they strike again.”

Earlier this year at San Diego Comic-Con, DC Comics announced that many of its popular titles would be getting brand new creative teams as the publisher’s All-In publishing initiative began. The All-In rebranding aims to make every DC comic a nice jumping-on point for readers while also putting the focus on characters that may have not had any time in the spotlight recently. The comics aim to revitalize the DC Universe along with the addition of the Absolute Universe, a parallel world with a darker tone that makes DC’s trinity the underdogs by slightly changing their familiar origin stories. Fans appear to already be eager for more of the Absolute Universe, with both Absolute Batman and Absolute Superman rushed back to print after selling out after their release.

Condon and Montos team up to take the helm on the new Green Arrow issue, with DC also announcing other creative teams for popular titles including Detective Comics, Nightwing, Catwoman, Harley Quinn and more. Batman and the world of Gotham appeared to be the most directly impacted by the creative team shake-up, with many established names shifting around to write new series revolving around Gotham’s heroes and villains. Outside of Gotham, Action Comics, Superman, Titans and Green Arrow are all set to receive new creative teams as well.
