Absolute Green Arrow #1 Preview

 

In theory, no one's above the law. But when money can buy influence, the rich just get richer. Jubal Slade may have gotten forced out of his company. Still, he's living the high life. At least Jubal was, until someone slipped past his defenses and slaughtered his security detail. Then, they came after him.

After Oliver Queen's death, who has taken up the mantle of the Green Arrow? And who will Jubal's billionaire friends hire to protect themselves?

Here's all the info from DC Connect:

Without the trick arrows…

Without the money…Without mercy…

What’s left is the Absolute Hunter!

 

 

A serial killer is slaughtering corrupt billionaires. The only clue to his identity is the mysterious green arrows sticking out of his victims’ corpses. Executive protection specialist Dinah Lance, a.k.a. Absolute Black Canary, is one of the people tasked to uncover this murderer’s identity as she investigates her suspects…all familiar DC archers uniquely linked to a recently murdered Oliver Queen. I Know What You Did Last Summer for billionaires, Absolute Green Arrow reimagines the Emerald Archer’s mythos into a dangerous, urban horror murder-mystery by Eisner winners Pornsak Pichetshote (Dead Boy Detectives, Infidel) and Rafael Albuquerque (Detective Comics, American Vampire).

Now, let's take a look inside:
