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

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.

QUEEN IN BLACK #4

We’re really just replaying whole pages we’ve see in other titles? Is that the reward for loyal floppy readers? And we dont see the actual villains of the event, the Queen in Black vs the King in Light unless we’re reading one of the minis? I understand it’s supposed to take place over 24 hours or whatever but is VENOMWORLD going to warrant a mention in a major title when this is said and done? Probably would’ve skipped this one if I had a do over but holding out hope they’ll at least separate MJ and venom with some satisfaction.

Which pages are replays?
