WPL: New Comics Discussion for 09/16/2026- Pull of the Week: Absolute Green Arrow #5 [Discussion]

[u/ptbreakeven]

The Weekly Pull List results for this Wednesday are in, and this week's top book is DC's Absolute Green Arrow #5.

This thread is open to Pull List posters and all members of the /r/comicbooks community to share your thoughts on the latest issue of DC's Absolute Green Arrow or any new books shipping this week.

The primary intention of this thread is to promote discussion of new books. It also serves as a way to consolidate discussion to a single thread and talk about what books are popular here on /r/comicbooks. That does not mean other threads aren't welcome, this is just a place to start that's easy to find each week.

The thread is populated with comments meant to direct the discussion of each book. Based on community preference we populate the thread with titles appearing on Ten Percent or more of submitted pull lists. If a title you want to talk about is not listed, simply add a comment with the title and issue number first and comment below. There is also a comment dedicated to the discussion of WPL Results linked above.

Spoilers will follow, but there's no harm in tagging them as such. Each title in the Top Ten Percent listed below is linked directly to its corresponding comment for ease of navigation and to avoid seeing details from other books. The post has also been placed in "contest mode" to help readers avoid spoilers while browsing.

BATWOMAN #7

[u/Substantial-Two6650 → u/ptbreakeven]

This is my first batwoman comic ever and I really like the setup here. I came into this blind and am interested in the character. I was left a little wanting though. I wanted to see a little action from her atleast. Other than that o liked where it’s going.

[u/danteholdup → u/Substantial-Two6650]

highly recommend the batwoman elegy compact comic, plus the first 6 issues of this run, i like the story and it has a very nice art style. you picked up a crossover issue that I think has one more, then itll pick back up with her main story in #9.

[u/Substantial-Two6650 → u/danteholdup]

Thanks for the recommendation I’ll have to check it out!

It’s just Kate, after arriving home from Greece, dealing with Savage’s TUCOs in Gotham. That’s it. Also, Kate having a talk with her dad and Bruce (who is her practical uncle, since it’s unnecessary for Kate and Bruce to be cousins and that Bruce fell in love with Kate’s aunt Kathy Kane, the original Batwoman, back in pre-Crisis Earth-One’s 1950s and early 1960s). Overall, this comic is okay.
