[Frontier]

Kin Shriner is my GA .

When was the last time he used a boxing glove arrow?

I know it was in the Percy run at some point. It had to be.

Green Arrow 80th Anniversary Special:

Since his first appearance in More Fun Comics #73 in 1941, Oliver Queen, a.k.a. the Green Arrow has been one of the premier (and loudest) characters in the DCU, always at the forefront of where the super hero genre is headed as the eternal champion of the underdog. This over-sized anniversary issue follows in those footsteps, combining an all-star line-up of Green Arrow storytelling legends such as Mike Grell, Jeff Lemire, Phil Hester, Otto Schmidt, Ben Percy, Tom Taylor, and Devin Grayson alongside new Green Arrow contributors, including Stephanie Phillips, Mariko Tamaki, Ram V, Vita Ayala, Nicola Scott, Chris Mitten, Laura Braga, Max Fiumara, Brandon Thomas and others to pay homage not just to the Battling Bowman, but Ollie’s partner-in-crime fighting Black Canary, Connor Hawke, Arsenal, Red Arrow, Speedy, Onomatopoeia, Count Vertigo and more!

Wow... that'll be Connor's first appearance since Flashpoint, and Mia's first appearance since an arc in New 52 where she didn't even suit up as Speedy.

The list of creators on the Green Arrow 80th Special is a murderer's row, man. I'm very hyped. Percy & Schmidt reunite for a little coda to their underrated run? Hell yeah. Lemire bringing it back to his run? Hell yeah. Grell? Hell yeah. Tom Taylor getting into the mix to set off his upcoming "DC's martial arts branch" stuff? Sign me up. Some Nicola Scott ... dare we assume Black Canary stuff? A little Birds action? Yes yes.

Wow... that'll be Connor's first appearance since Flashpoint, and Mia's first appearance since an arc in New 52 where she didn't even suit up as Speedy.

Aside from his tease during Percy's Rebirth run, yeah.

Green Arrow 80th Anniversary Special:

DEFINITELY buying this!!

Connor Hawke AND Nicola Scott? Shut up and take my money!

I would've loved to have seen Kevin Smith or Brad Meltzer in that line-up as well, but damn - it's still an impressive list of creators.

When was the last time he used a boxing glove arrow?

I believe in Green Lantern: Rebirth, Ollie constructs a boxing glove arrow and knocks Sinestro out to save Kyle. That is the last time I remember him using it and that would be after Winnicks run on GA.

Green Arrow 80th Anniversary Special:

Mike Grell? YES!

Everyone else, meh.

I am disappointed to not see Judd Winnick on that list. He had quite the lengthy run on the character.
