What a great time for Green Arrow fans! ARROW on The CW is throwing some of DC’s most dangerous criminals at the vigilante. China White and Deadshot have come to Starling City. Count Vertigo is on the way. Seth Gabel (Fringe, Nip/Tuck, Dirty Sexy Money) will play the villain according the TV Line. The character uses the drug Vertigo to disorient his victims.
Sci Fi Vets Ben Browder (Farscape) and Tahmoh Penikett (Battlestar Galactica, Dollhouse) and John Barrowman (Doctor Who, Torchwood) will be guest starring in upcoming episodes.
The Huntress will soon be appearing in a multi-episode arc as a love interest of Oliver Queen.
Back to comics – acclaimed writer Jeff Lemire and artist Andrea Sorrentino will be the creative team on the Justice League’s archer with Green Arrow #17 this February. In that issue Oliver will deal with the loss of his family fortune and the evil archer called Komodo.

A few of my friends were hoping for Barrowman to surprise us all and be Bruce Wayne. Honestly, that’s probably my best guess for now.
That’s a good guess. I’m thinking maybe Maxwell Lord? I love that bad guy.
I bet Gabel will be a good fit for an onscreen Vertigo. I’ve convinced some of my coworkers at DISH to tune in, since they all know him from Fringe. Arrow has action, grittiness and a slew of DC characters, so I save it all to my DISH Hopper for my nostalgic moments. It’s nice to have a DVR with a lot of recording space; especially this time of year. Cheers to my childhood coming to life.
Thanks for the comment. I’m really excited for Huntress to appear! Who do you think John Barrowman will play?
