After a savage attack on his company that left him as a sole survivor, Oliver Queen is haunted by the final words of Roy, one of his closest friends: “You have it in you to do something inspiring, Ollie, and I’m going to watch you do it.”
While he seeks out a mysterious female raider he caught on camera during the attack, Oliver can’t help but wonder about the potential of his Green Arrow Industries. Can he fulfill Roy’s dreams of turning his corporation itself into a superhero? What would it take for a big business to not only fight for people but also inspire them?
“One of the (many, many, MANY) cool things Geoff has going on in FLASHPOINT is that for all the epic superhero moments, at its heart is a story about people dealing with change,” said Pornsak Pichetshote. “And, I don’t know, it seems like that’s the undercurrent of every major news story right now. Plus, from his hard-hitting heroes days, hasn’t Green Arrow had its roots in using cool superhero action to comment on the world? So why not keep that tradition going in a story that involves blood, super-weapons and archery?”
FLASHPOINT: GREEN ARROW INDUSTRIES is written by Pornsak Pichetshote and features art by Marco Castiello, Ig Guara, Vincenzo Acunzo, and Ruy Jose, and arrives in stores next week. Head over to COMIC BOOK RESOURCES to view exclusive preview pages.

This September, Dan DiDio and Keith Giffen reunite for O.M.A.C. This new series tells the story of Kevin Kho’s transformation into a One Machine Army Corp, an unwilling participant in a brutal war. NEWSARAMA and COMIC BOOK RESOURCES have the first interviews about the book.
So who is this new character, Kevin Kho, and what can we expect from his story?
“It’s really about a person who lives his life under a lot of control and is used to being able to have things in a very orderly fashion. Enter into his life ‘OMAC’ and the events that occur, and basically, he loses control of his own life. A lot of the story is about his struggle to regain control, to re-establish himself as an individual again, as other events are pressing against him,” DiDio told COMIC BOOK RESOURCES.
“The first issue introduces O.M.A.C. and the circumstances he’s in now. But we’ll get some flashbacks to his life before he was O.M.A.C. in the first issue, and you’ll see that there’s nothing about this guy that makes you think he’s going to be a superhero. He’s just an ordinary guy named Kevin Kho. He’s an adopted Cambodian orphan, but he’s not a black-belt or anything like that,” Giffen said to NEWSARAMA.
Be sure to check out both NEWSARMA and COMIC BOOK RESOURCES for full coverage as well as exclusive first looks at the interior art for O.M.A.C. #1.

“He’s at a level where, to him, it’s all kind of a game. Life, the world, etc., is there to be played. And killing and doing what he does for his legacy or his reputation – that’s the absolute most important thing to him. Family dies, friends disappoint, but legacy is forever,” he told NEWSARAMA.
