GREEN ARROW issue thirty-one - our final issue - is on FOC this Monday. I put a lot of myself into this standalone one-shot story, so I hope people will pick it up. Covers by the great @muaadib.bsky.social & @skyepatridge.bsky.social. It's been an absolute honor to write this book. 💚💚

I cannot stress what a life-changing book this was for me. Absolutely proud and blessed to have been able to contribute.
BIG thanks to @christophcondon.bsky.social for trusting the vision.

Issue thirty-one of GREEN ARROW will be my final issue on the title. It's been fantastic to work with Montos, Buddy, Hass, Adriano, and Chris Rosa on the book. More than that, it's been a dream to work on a character like Ollie for DC Comics. I'm bummed we have to end things here...

Almost forgot: Inari's kitsune! Inari's skulk consists of Yako (one-tail), Zenko (two-tail), & Tenko (three-tail). This is based on the mythological concept that the more tails a fox had, the older/wiser/stronger it was. This idea is loosely reflected in Inari's foxes.

Since Monika is blasian (Japanese father, black mother). For those who don't know, when you design black characters, it's very easy for things like skin tone & hair texture to get lost in translations. That's why Taurin adding these specifics into Inari's character sheet is so necessary.

The great thing about Taurin is his first drafts are so good you really only have to mix 'n match your favorite things! I ended up going with option 3 w/ the note of shrinking her hip slits as we didn't want to inadvertently sexualize her. After that it was mostly finding the fight mask look.

Design-wise, I sent so many images to Taurin & my editor TOm over the course of '24 that it'd be impossible post them all here, but the main influences were Yuffie, Ibuki and Kimberley from Street Fighter. These influences are reflected in Inari's first designs

Her creation came about summer '24 after I got Covid & finally had time to play FF7 Rebirth. She is heavily inspired by Yuffie, one of my all-time favorite characters . I had been wanting to do more detective stories w/ Miles, and a young, fun, ninja thief seemed like the perfect fit for our series.

I co-created Inari with the immensely talented @muaadib.bsky.social (we also co-created the Ellie Deadpool design!). Inari is a Japanese-American, super-theif, with the mutant power to manipulate the electromagnetic spectrum, which she uses to create hardlight foxes.

I'm sitting in the Toronto airport, sleep-deprived & exhausted from spending the past 5 days going feral at Fan Expo/pushing the limits of the city's nightlife. So I figured now would be a perfect time to do a character breakdown of Monika Mori aka Inari, who will be appearing in MMSM 37 this week!
