Only eight episodes into its freshman season and already featuring a wealth of DC characters , The CW's 'Arrow' has made plenty of winks and nods to its comic origins.

Tonight's all-new 'Arrow' episode "Vendetta" is set to earn the fledgling city some serious street cred, featuring the show's first real team-up between costumed heroes Oliver Queen (Stephen Amell) and The Huntress (Jessica De Gow), but it might be 2012's mid-season finale "Year's End" that fans should really look out for. Series star David Ramsey (Diggle) believes next week's episode will be the most intense yet, with a conclusion rivaling the season 4 finale of 'Dexter!' What could be so shocking to earn 'Arrow' such a comparison?
