GREEN ARROW #16 sells out

GREEN ARROW #16, the first issue written by novelist Brad Meltzer, has sold out at DC less than one week after its on-sale date.

Meltzer's run on the title continues the momentum of the 15 issues written by filmmaker Kevin Smith, benefiting from coverage in both the mainstream and trade press.

"We were delighted with the initial orders for Brad's run," says Bob Wayne, DC's Vice President - Sales & Marketing, "and had so much confidence in the story and in the art team, we printed it aggressively. I strongly suggest retailers check their orders on subsequent issues and adjust appropriately to meet the needs of their customers."

DC has not decided yet whether or not to go back to press on the sold-out issue.

"We'll continue to evaluate both this issue and #17 and respond to market demands," Wayne said.

Says GREEN ARROW editor Bob Schreck, "Brad's story is getting off to a strong start and it gets even better as it progresses. Phil, Ande and Matt continue to deliver."
