As a long time Green Arrow fan I have read through the best and worst of times and for the most part enjoyed them, but rarely have I seen an arc or a single issue get me excited for the series. This issue did just that. The art was beautiful, allowing us to easily differentiate between the Black Lantern  and Green Arrow while they battle for the body of Ollie. The story was a great stand alone telling us who Oliver Queen has been to the people in his life and giving us some back story in a very interesting manner. While this was a Blackest Night story you were able to read it and know nothing about what else is happening in the DCU. Overall I think this is a good sign for this series.
