Notes
  1. Emiko does not actually appear in this issue. However, it reveals secrets about her past that are very important to understanding her story from this point forward.

  3. This storyline mostly focuses on Green Arrow (Reading Order). However, Emiko plays a small supporting role in it.

Rebirth

The transition from New 52 to Rebirth does not introduce any significant continuity changes for Emiko. Her story in this era picks up immediately where it left off in the previous era.

Emiko's primary role here plays out in the Green Arrow series. Here, her relationship with Green Arrow (Reading Order) and with Shado (Reading Order) are both expanded upon. In addition, she makes a brief but important appearance in the Teen Titans (Reading Order) series.
