News: Green Arrow To Have His Own Show

According to Entertainment Weekly, DC Universe super-hero character Oliver Queen/Green Arrow will be getting his own live-action T.V. series. Though a premier date has not yet been confirmed, it will not have "Smallville" actor Justin Hartley reprise the role the archery superero himself. Anyway, it will be executive produced and written by Greg Berlanti and Marc Guggenheim, who last worked on the 2011 live-action film "Green Lantern" with "Green Arrow" comic book writer Andrew Kreisberg taking part and The CW to serve as its U.S. broadcaster.

On October 26, 2011, Marvel Comics will be releasing the Volume 3 premier issue of the comic book series "The Incredible Hulk", thus a 2nd relaunch of the series title.

Today is the release of "Ultimate Comics: Spider-Man" No. 3, and in this issue, it's part 3 of the New Ultimate Spider-Man's origin story.
