After the major sold-out success of Absolute Green Arrow, DC Comics is giving us a brand new one-shot story focused on Black Canary.
At Saturday’s “DC Absolute Universe” panel at San Diego Comic-Con, the publisher announced that the Absolute Black Canary one-shot from Absolute Green Arrow writer Pornsak Pichetshote and artist Belén Ortega.
Absolute Black Canary will bridge the gap between arcs in Absolute Green Arrow, taking place specifically between issues #6 and #7. Absolute Green Arrow, originally billed as a six-issue limited series, has been green lighted for expansion, giving the creators more to work with for both the one-shot and its predecessor.
DC’s Absolute line earned the publisher seven of 10 wins at the 2026 Eisner Awards on Friday, including Best Single Issue/One-shot, Best Continuing Series, and Best Limited Series. The line is considered transformative for DC, with creators taking big swings that have ultimately paid off in major ways.
