Green Arrow #55

The cover by James Jean crackles with icy energy as a pale, white-haired woman — the "Ice Queen" announced boldly in the cover's title treatment — looms over a restrained Green Arrow, an arrow clutched between them amid an explosion of shattering frost. It's a striking, almost otherworldly image that sets a chilling tone for "Heading Into the Light Part Two: Cold Reflections," written by Judd Winick with interior art by Ron Garney and Bill Reinhold. This December 2005 issue delivers a cover that feels more like a fever dream than a superhero showdown — exactly the kind of visual hook that keeps you turning pages.
