The point of this story is essentially that the duo’s love for each other can unite them in the face of supervillains, distorted realities, and red sky crises. What’s a bit different, though, is that beneath those cracks what Green Arrow finds is Black Canary.Īs he’s navigating a Sherwood Forest facsimile, searching for his foe, Sheriff Malcom Merlyn, he comes across a golden canary, whose song shatters the illusion and brings from a wooded medieval setting to a modern city, where he comes face to face with - Black Canary.

DC Comics had set up a pretty lengthy roundtable chat, during which someone asked about the death of Oliver Queen specifically, and Williamson acknowledged that yes, what happens to Green Arrow in that book is a bit different from what happens to the other heroes. I remember talking to Dark Crisis on Infinite Earths writer Joshua Williamson ahead of the Death of the Justice League comic ( Justice League #75) that essentially kicked off this big event.
