 Following the cancellation of the Anarky series , and Grant 's departure from DC Comics , Anarky experienced a prolonged period of absence from DC publications , despite professional and fan interest in his return . This period of obscurity lasted approximately nine years , with three brief interruptions for minor cameo appearances in 2000 , 2001 , and 2005 . In 2008 , Anarky reappeared in an issue of Robin authored by Fabian Nicieza , with the intention of ending this period of obscurity . The storyline drastically altered the character 's presentation , prompting a series of responses by Nicieza to concerned readers . Anarky became a recurring character in issues of Red Robin , authored by Nicieza , until the series was cancelled in 2011 in the aftermath of The New 52 . A new Anarky was introduced into the New 52 continuity in October 2013 , in an issue of Green Lantern Corps , which itself was a tie @-@ in to the " Batman : Zero Year " storyline . Yet more characters have been authored as using the Anarky alias in the New 52 continuity via the pages of Detective Comics and Earth 2 : Society .
