Since Roy Harper isn't in the Titans anymore my curiosity was peaked as where he could go to next, could he join a new team like the Seven Soldiers or surprise us by a solo title or join Green Arrow's title as a supporting cast member.

How about straight to the garbage bin. Mwhahaha!
Seriously though, i think there was mention of him popping up in Green Arrow.
He needs to start appearing again alongside Ollie, not as a sidekick but as a peer.
I don't know why DC seem to have an issue with legacy characters. Embrace it dammit!!
It was always DC advantage over Marvel, they had characters who would take the mantle & carry on when the older guys pulled up stumps.
And while we're at it, bring back Lian properly & forget the whole dead cat, Prometheus thing....
I always thought he was more interesting than Grayson/Nightwing especially before the "Rise of Arsenal" story I would loved to see him in a solo series like [B]Grayson[/B],whether he's Red Arrow,Arsenal or Agent Harper IMHO, Roy Harper is a character that can a be a star in a book of his own
He will next be in the upcoming Red Hood annual and then in Heroes in Crisis maxiseries
I personally found him to be interesting when Marv Wolfman brought him back in the New Titans as an agent of Checkmate and they were using him to try an get the Titans to become Checkmate agents. Before that I like him when he was used as team leader for the special mission for the Suicide Squad. I always felt he felt the espionage side quite well and was disappointed this was not followed up on. I know Wolfman used that some he Arsenal formed his own Titans team but it was not quite the spy book it could have been. I also personally like his first Arsenal costume but not the one he wore when he was leading the Titans.
I always thought Roy had solo potential. Something similar to Fraction's Hawkeye as far as tone. Certain characters will never have their stories told i guess.

YES!
Although I have to say I NEVER liked the Arsenal costume...

Does any one notice there's more a rivalary between Roy & Clint than Ollie & Clint? Look at his first costume in New Titans #99 & the one Hawkeye was wearing, then look at Young Justice & Avengers animated series
I wouldn't be surprised if Roy dies in Heroes in Crisis.
I would love a comic that would have Roy and Ollie teaming up to fight crime or solve mysteries. It could also do solo features for each one where it delved more into their personal lives.
They could call it - wait for it - The Longbow Hunters. Or something like that.

[SIZE=3][B]SPOILER!!![/B] You must be a prophet (or an Oracle) both Wally & Roy were killed in Heroes in Crisis they were two of my favorite DC characters.[/SIZE]
I was hoping at least two of the deaths in issue #1 (including the one mentioned above) would somehow end up being fake outs but I doubt that now, after reading the latest Green Arrow. Seems sort of final--as final as death can be in this medium. In other words it appears as though these deaths, for the time being, a permanent and not meant to be undone by story's end.
And there's more coming in issue #2.
Roy's been a favorite character of mine since I was a kid. I haven't enjoyed the New52 take on him much if at all but am saddened that DC sees no potential in him beyond being a victim in their latest company crossover or "big event."

So true DC should of had an Arsenal solo series awhile ago plus I would have loved to see a [SIZE=3][B]HARPER[/B][/SIZE] series during the 52 he would have been an incredible operative for S.H.A.D.E. or I/O.
