This comic is garbage. It retcons stuff that is already Arrow show canon to make Merlyn more important. Its technically called a tie in but its utter crap that JB made up. the other tie ins like 1.5 and 2.5 were actual tie ins ( actual deleted scenes) to the show. But this, john clearly forgot what was already in the show for his own charachter.

In the show Nyssa's mom is canonically Amina Raatko. She met Ras in Odessa Ukraine.Also since Lourdes is actually Amina in the show, she is not an original charachter. Raatko was/is a nod to the actual last name of Nyssa in the comics. It is Nyssa's last name which means its Amina's.

That said, really none of the tie in comics mean anything to the show since none of them are ever acknokweged on the show. it only happened once and no one even knew about it.

I pray to god this comic is never acknokweged on the show and they completly ignore it.
