Green Arrow #99

Against a backdrop of a massive explosion sending debris flying in every direction, Green Arrow — masked, blonde-bearded, quiver on his back — shares an urgent, passionate kiss with a dark-haired woman in black, the chaos around them making the moment feel both desperate and tender. This is part four of five in the "Where Angels Fear to Tread" arc, with a cover by Rodolfo Damaggio and Robert Campanella that perfectly captures the series' knack for blending action and emotion in a single charged image. Chuck Dixon's writing paired with Jim Aparo's interior art makes issue #99 a compelling penultimate chapter to pick up as the story races toward its conclusion.
