Rafael Albuquerque and Marcelo Maiolo's explosive main cover depicts the Absolute Green Arrow in a fierce, low-angle action pose amid a storm of shredded, blood-soaked currency against a gritty brick alley backdrop — his crescent skull mask and glowing red eyes radiating menace as he draws his bow. It is a cover of immediate, visceral impact — dark, brutal, and unmistakably unique in the Absolute Universe lineup. Albuquerque's signature is visible on the cover. A serial killer is slaughtering corrupt billionaires, leaving behind a chilling calling card: green arrows embedded in each victim. Executive protection specialist Dinah Lance — the Absolute Universe's reimagined Black Canary — is tasked with uncovering the killer's identity. Her investigation leads her through a deadly roster of suspects, all skilled archers, all uniquely connected to the recently murdered Oliver Queen.
