Dixon comes back to DC, and Connor Hawke gets a lead role again

I'm guessing that some noise was made about the big two's attempt to ostracize Chuck Dixon, and so now, it looks like DC, at least, has patched up relations with him, and he's writing a Green Arrow-related book that puts Connor Hawke back in the spotlight again (and good to see that he wasn't a sacrifice in Infinite Crisis. I expect we'll have assurances soon that Jenny-Lynn Hayden won't be a sacrifice either?)

The article from Newsarama also reveals that bias was a factor in the cancellation of the first GA volume when Connor was the lead, when Dixon says that:
β€œI think Connor has the potential to carry his own monthly again,” said Dixon. β€œHe did it for more than forty issues not so long ago and his sales were strong right up to the time it was decided to cancel the book to make way for the re-launch of the title under Kevin Smith.”
I see. It was something like 2 and a half years until the 2nd volume was launched, but isn't that nice, they were being favoratists to Kevin Smith, no doubt because of his movie-related status. Hardy har har.

They owe an apology now.
