Without the trick arrows...without the money...without mercy, what's left is the Absolute Hunter!
The first printing of DC’s Absolute Green Arrow #1 is available at local comics shops while supplies last beginning on Wednesday, May 20, and demand for this new series set in DC’s Absolute Universe continues to surge ahead of publication.

In Absolute Green Arrow, a serial killer is slaughtering corrupt billionaires, and the only clue to their identity is the green arrows protruding from the victims’ bodies. Executive protection specialist Dinah Lance, also known as Absolute Black Canary, is assigned to uncover the murderer’s identity as she investigates a list of suspects drawn from the ranks of DC’s most dangerous archers. Each one is uniquely connected to a recently murdered Oliver Queen. A deadly mystery unfolds in this urban-horror reimagining of the Emerald Archer’s mythos, brought to life by Eisner Award winners Pornsak Pichetshote and Rafael Albuquerque.
Spinning out of the shocking events of Absolute Evil, this new comic book series brings slasher-horror storytelling to the Absolute Universe, exploring Oliver Queen’s past and the clues left behind in the wake of his murder.
Retailers can place orders for Absolute Green Arrow #1’s second printing beginning May 15. The second printing arrives in comics shops on June 17 along with Absolute Green Arrow #2.
