EXCLUSIVE: Green Arrow #3 & Captain Atom #3 Cover & Solicit

Green Arrow's final fight against a villain & Captain Atom elevates his powers.

Writer J.T. Krul will be taking on both Green Arrow and Captain Atom in DC's 'The New 52.' We've seen covers and some solicits for the third issues of DC's titles last week and before they officially go out, DC has given us an exclusive first look at both.

The Jersey Shore of super villains crashes Seattle to stream Green Arrow's death over the Internet! It's the final fight between Green Arrow and Rush: media maven vs. media star!

CAPTAIN ATOM #3

Written by J.T. KRUL

Cover by STANLEY "ARTGERM" LAU

On sale NOVEMBER 16 * 32 pg, FC, $2.99 US * RATED T

Captain Atom is taking his powers to new heights - saving people all across the world in the blink of an eye. But he's not the only one who can move at super speed. Enter: The Flash! And when their paths cross, don't expect them to share the secret hero's handshake - because Captain Atom may be a bigger threat than any villain.

Check back in a little bit. J.T. Krul will be answering some of our questions.

Siick covers. Green Arrow's new bow looks awesome. it looks like he'll be a much more public superhero, the last issue solicit had him fighting supervillains while "the whole world was watching" too... nothing wrong with that i just hope they don't overdo it 
 
Captain Atom/Flash crossover looks amazing. First crossover of the DCnU! can't wait!

Actully, technically Batgirl has the first crossover (with Nightwing), but should be about the same time, so close.

Ew.  Jersey Shore reference in first description of comic.  That aside, I like J.T. Krul and would probably read this.

Krul is great at writing characters with inner pain. For that reason, I think Captain Atom will be some of Kruls best work to date. Green Arrow looks cool. Itll be... different. It seems hes much more of a media person now. Which is cool. I cant judge it based on the description for that reason. I miss his beard.

So Ollie's beardless now?
This means Arsenal/Roy over on Jason Todd's book will look exactly like this new Ollie/Green Arrow only in red...

AAAAH!!! Beard! Domino Mask! What's so hard about that?! And Ollie's inexplicably back in charge of Queen Industries now?! What happened to the Queen?! You can't just erase character development because you think the stories back then were better. Those stories were told in their time. This is a different time. Move forward, not back.

I'm not digging the goggles either. Though I'm liking the rest of his look.

Looks like Nathaniel Adam is truly being written to his potential in this book. Great! And yes GA's look is great now in this revamp :) At least in my opinion.

I know that Roy's supposed to be Arsenal, over in the Outlaws, but this Green Arrow looks more like Roy than Ollie... am I the only one that sees that?

It would indeed be a nice change but the flaming hair is just wrong :/ Be nice to see him as a good character again after the Captain Atom: Armageddon travesty.
 
I am liking the new GA bow though.

Awesome covers. Green Arrow is still throwing me off a little. I'm not used to his appearance that way. I am excited to read the Green Arrow series though.

I don't really mind the goggles I bet they have some fancy function now that he is getting more techy.  I don't like the hair or his facial hair.

If I start seeing Cam's on the tips of any of Green Arrow's bows again I'm gonna mail the artist a few extra bows I have sitting around.  This cover looks better then the previous two though, and the Captain Atom cover is off the hook.  Looking forward to both books but I've got worries and concerns about the Green Arrow stuff.
