In celebration of the fifth season of Arrow, we've collected some great fan art of Oliver Queen. Some of it is of the TV version, some is even of the previous Smallville TV version, and plenty more is inspired by the comics. Black Canary, Speedy, and even Aquaman make guest appearances, but at the end of the day this gallery, like the character it spotlights, is about one man with a bow and arrow.

It’s time for another installment of Pointed Commentary, the feature where returning Arrow watcher Chris Haley and new recapper Emma Lawson dig into the details of Team Arrow cleaning up the filthy, crime-ridden streets of Star City. This week’s season premiere, “Legacy,” brings us back to Star City and sets the course for where the fifth season is headed. Unless things take a number of dramatic turns. Anyone’s guess at this point really. James Bamford directed the episode, based on a story by Greg Berlanti with a script by Marc Guggenheim and Wendy Mericle.

We’re having a harder and harder time wrapping our heads around Arrow’s 100th episode, between alien crossovers and some unexpected Season 2 returns, but the latest feels right at home. Cementing the DC drama’s victory lap, Moira Queen will bring a touch of class back to Arrow for the 100th outing.

This week, DC Comics is celebrating the 75th anniversary of Green Arrow who debuted alongside Aquaman (whose anniversary was celebrated last week) in More Fun Comics #73. To celebrate seventy five years of the Emerald Archer, Comixology has a week long sale featuring a host of his defining runs, so you can stock up on classic stories while you wait for Arrow to return for its fifth season.

Normally, no one would bat an eye at Arrow indulging in a little celebratory trip down memory lane for its 100th episode, but the hour’s placement in a four-way CW crossover changes the game just a bit. As such, a new photo from the centennial’s table read reveals a surprising guest star from the series’ past, whose presence opens up a whole new quiver of questions.

A hero is defined by their villains, and the world of superhero comic books is filled with some of the scariest and silliest bad guys around. Rogues’ Gallery aims to settle the score and determine who is the true arch-nemesis for some of your favorite superheroes, and we need your help to do it! You voted to see who Green Arrow's ultimate arch-enemy was, and we’ve tabulated the results and assembled a video counting down the definitive top 10. Did your favorite make this list? There’s only one way to find out!

Benjamin Percy's work on the newest volume of Green Arrow, along with artists Otto Schmidt, Juan Ferreyra and Stephen Byrne, has revitalized the character into one of the most exciting heroes in the DC Universe and made his eponymous title one of the standout comics from DC's Rebirth initiative. Next month, Oliver Queen journeys back to the island where he first became Green Arrow, and he's bringing Black Canary with him. Ahead of the release of Green Arrow #8, DC Comics has provided a first look at the pages, as well as a variant cover by comics legend Neal Adams.

Team Arrow will be getting a major overhaul in Season 5, and we don’t just mean the personnel. Where previously we learned that Wild Dog, Artemis, Mr. Terrific and more would be training alongside Oliver, see the fully-costumed team revealed in the latest trailer!

Hard as it is to believe that October is nearly upon us, a return to The Flash and Arrow more than smooths over the changes. And speaking of changes, see for yourself what Flash has to offer in a new synopsis for Season 3 premiere “Flashpoint,” and ditto for the kickoff of Arrow Season 5's “Legacy”!

Arrow star Stephen Amell hasn’t been shy speaking his mind about DC movies keeping separate from the ever-expanding TV universe, something that once landed him in a Flash of hot water. It remains to be seen if the movies would ever feature their own Green Arrow with a new actor, but either way, consider Amell’s blessing officially given.
