Absolute Green Arrow Vol. 1: The Longbow Killer - (Absolute Universe) by Pornsak Pichetshote (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

Eisner Award winners Pornsak Pichetshote (The Sandman Universe: Dead Boy Detectives, Infidel) and Rafael Albuquerque (American Vampire, Superman Unlimited) carve their mark on the Absolute Universe with a bold and bloody reimagining of Green Arrow!

A serial killer is on the loose in the Absolute Universe, and they seem to have their sights set on corrupt billionaires. The only clue to their identity thus far has been a calling card left by the killer at the scene of each kill: a green arrow protruding from the corpse of the victim. Now, it's up to Dinah Lance, a.k.a. Black Canary, an executive protection agent, to solve the case--and her first list of suspects is comprised of famous archers, all linked to the recently deceased Oliver Queen.

The red-hot Absolute Universe grows darker and larger than ever as Eisner Award winners Pornsak Pichetshote and Rafael Albuquerque team up for a reinvention of the Emerald Archer like you've never seen, carving a bloody swath across the upper echelons of society.
