DC Comics unveils new 'Green Arrow', 'Men of War' creators

It seems that new creators on "Green Arrow" and "Superman" were only the start of creative changes on DC Comics' New 52 line of relaunched superhero comics, though some changes are less permanent than others.


After early word broke out the likes of Keith Giffen, Dan Jurgens and Ann Nocenti taking over some titles for the second half of the line's first year, the publisher has been slowly unveiling more new creators to fill in for or outright replace previous creative teams in advance of February's solicitations.


The moves are highlighted by artist Gene Ha filling in for Co-Publisher Jim Lee as artist on "Justice League" for issues #7 and 8, which was announced today on DC's The Source blog. But while the Co-Publisher is expected to return to the pages of comics #1 title come April's #9, other books will be seeing a creative swap on a more permanent basis. In recent days, The Source also revealed that James Robinson will take over from Ivan Brandon on DC's "Men At War" comic with a new backup written by JT Krul in February. Meanwhile, artist Harvey Talibao will draw "Green Arrow" starting with issue #7 as Dan Jurgens moves on to "Superman."


Artist Harvey Tolibao will join Green Arrow from issue #7, replacing illustrator and co-writer Dan Jurgens, who is moving to Superman, reports The Source.


It has also been revealed that James Robinson and JT Krul will be writing individual, standalone stories in Men of War #7 following the departure of original writer Ivan Brandon.


Tolibao will be joined by writer Ann Nocenti on Green Arrow as she ends her 15-year hiatus from comics.


Robinson revealed that his story will feature the final mission of a British SAS soldier in Afghanistan.


The announcements are only the latest changes to be announced for the reboot line, which have so far affected titles including Stormwatch, The Fury of Firestorm and Legion Lost.
