The Absolute Green Arrow in fierce action amid a storm of blood-soaked currency against a gritty brick backdrop — skull mask, glowing red eyes, bow drawn — is one of the most striking debut images in the entire Absolute Universe lineup, and the virgin presentation elevates it to true gallery-worthy status. Albuquerque's signature is visible on the cover. As both the interior series artist and the main cover artist, Albuquerque's artistic vision is at the absolute center of Absolute Green Arrow — making his virgin variant the single most creatively unified and premium collector's edition in the entire #1 lineup. A retailer exclusive produced in strictly limited quantities and unavailable through standard retail channels. 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.
