WARNING: The following contains spoilers for Infinite Frontier #6, on sale now from DC Comics.

DC's omniverse-defining Infinite Frontier #6 by Joshua Williamson, Xermanico, Romulo Fajardo Jr and Tom Napolitano puts President Superman, Green Lantern, Jade and a slew of DC's greatest heroes face to face with Injustice Incarnate before introducing a threat of cosmic proportions: the great darkness. But it isn't all doom and gloom. The new issue also frees Roy Harper from the burden of being the Black Lantern and prepares him to go off on a brand new adventure.

In Infinite Frontier #5, Roy gives in to the deranged power of the Black Lantern power ring to free his fellow heroes from the energy chains being generated by Earth Omega. Of course, Darkseid is quick to take advantage of him in his power-mad state. Infinite Frontier #6 begins with an image of Roy wrapped in Darkseid's chains being used as a conduit for the evil Omega energy. Luckily, Obsidian is able to reach out to Roy and helps him break free from the ring's power. For the first time in the Infinite Frontier era, Roy is free from the sadistic call of the Black ring.

Darkseid uses Roy Harper as his Omega Lantern

Without his "Omega Lantern" Darkseid's plans for harnessing the power of the multiverse are impossible, so rather than fighting a battle he's already lost, he opts to return the heroes back to their homes in their respective universes -- bringing a temporary end to the war for the multiverse. Later, Roy and Cameron Chase meet for a drink back on Earth to catch up and decompress after everything they've both been through. Chase reveals that she is helping a team of heroes monitor the Multiverse from any new threats and asks Harper what his plans are now that he's no longer a Black Lantern. Roy explains that his first order of business is finding his daughter, Lian whom he had believed was dead until very recently. After that, he seems to be open to any possibilities, simply wanting "to get back to living."

Now that Roy isn't the Black Lantern, it might be reasonable to assume that he might fight crime as Arsenal again or even attempt to rejoin the Teen Titans. Roy's experience and new lease on life would make him an asset to any team or a potentially unstoppable solo crime fighter, but his crime-fighting career may come into conflict with his search for his daughter now that she is Catwoman's protege. Given his tumultuous past, Roy will likely be empathetic to his daughter's situation, but it is hard to imagine him condoning her indulging in dangerous behavior as the Cheshire Cat. A Harper family reunion could very well result in either an exciting new team or a vicious rivalry between father and daughter.

Roy Harper talks to Cameron Chase about his future plans

As he points out after Obsidian frees him from Darkseid's influence, Roy is free now. He can do whatever he wants, and all signs point towards him reconnecting with his daughter and busting a few heads along the way. The smile on his face at the end of Infinite Frontier #6 is a pleasant departure from the expression of pain and sadness that he wore throughout the rest of the miniseries and a sign of hope for the future in spite of the looming dread that the issue has reintroduced to the DC Universe.
