Description
Absolute Green Arrow #6 just revealed who's really under the hood — and closes out the series' first arc with Black Canary's Canary Cry finally arriving in the Absolute Universe. Six issues of mystery, answered, with a new arc already being set up.
THE SNYDER COLLECTION DROPS OCTOBER 28th AT HTTPS://VARIANTCOMICS.COM: Around 100 issues from Scott Snyder's personal comp collection, including his own copies of exclusive covers across Absolute Batman, Absolute Superman, and the rest of the Absolute line. Every book is signed and comes with a unique COA verifying both the signature and that it came from Snyder's personal collection. Some were read and handled by Snyder himself, so grades are not guaranteed and every book ships exactly as received. First come, first served. Set a reminder.
In Absolute Green Arrow #6, Dinah Lance confronts the second Green Arrow in the aftermath of Malcolm Merlyn's fall, and the flashbacks finally show the night Oliver Queen picked up a bow to take on Jubal Slade, and what it cost him. Every piece of the arc comes together: why Hector Hammond lost his hand in issue #1, how the poison was survivable, who staged the mansion confrontation, and what the Zytles wanted from Oliver's presidential ambitions. Then Solomon Grundy breaks through the wall, Hammond's men open fire, and Dinah does something nobody in the room, including her, expected.
The arc closes with Hammond's billionaire allies closing ranks and pinning everything on him, Roy Harper and Mia Dearden revealed as working together the whole time, Dinah turning toward the truth about her mother on the SCPD, and a final page introducing the threat behind the next arc. Absolute Green Arrow has been extended to twelve issues.
Why this issue matters:
- Absolute Green Arrow #6 concludes the series' first story arc and reveals the identity of the second Green Arrow.
- Black Canary's Canary Cry makes its first appearance in the Absolute Universe in this issue.
- Mia Dearden and Roy Harper are revealed to have been working together to expose Hector Hammond.
- The final page sets up the Kobra cult as the likely antagonists of the series' second arc.
- Absolute Green Arrow has been extended from six issues to twelve.
