Chris Condon returns to the Cryptid Creator Corner today as part of Jimmy's DC December. Chris is the writer of such incredible series as That Texas Blood and The Enfield Gang Massacre. Now, Chris has taken over writing duties from Joshua Williamson on Green Arrow! Chris is taking Ollie back to the streets beginning with a back-up story in issue #17 (which was out in October, although the real fun starts with issue #18 that was out November 27th). Jimmy chats with Chris about it's been like taking on Green Arrow and what readers can expect from the story. Chris also talks about the upcoming Ultimate Wolverine (out January 15, 2025) and how he can balance these 2 different series. Writers with dreams of playing in the Big Two sandbox listen up as we try to crack the code as to how you break into comics.

Green Arrow #17

From the Publisher

This oversized issue features the aftermath of Oliver Queen’s role in Absolute Power, while also setting the stage for his next chapter! First, Oliver Queen did the unthinkable to protect his family, and now must deal with the ramifications of his actions. Will his family and friends forgive him? Then, get ready for the opening chapter of the Emerald Archer’s next adventure, from writer Chris Condon (The Enfield Gang Massacre, That Texas Blood) and artist Montos (Black Adam, Green Lantern: War Journal)!

Ultimate Wolverine

From the publisher

Hitting stands in January, ULTIMATE WOLVERINE will be written by rising star Chris Condon (That Texas Blood, VENOM WAR: DAREDEVIL) and drawn by MOON KNIGHT powerhouse artist Alessandro Cappuccio. True to the character’s origin as a government weapon, Ultimate Wolverine is an unwilling agent of the Maker, the secret creator of this corrupt universe. Mindwiped and used as an assassin, he’s still the best there is as at what he does… even if he’s not in control of who he does it to.
