As a seasoned gamer and DC Universe aficionado with over two decades of comic book adventures under my belt, I must say that the latest turn in Green Arrow’s story in Absolute Power has left me utterly thrilled! The plot twists and turns have kept me on the edge of my seat, and I can’t help but be drawn into Oliver Queen’s quest for redemption.
Initially, when “Absolute Power” was introduced, Green Arrow stunned readers by joining forces with Amanda Waller and her Task Force VII, acting against his usual heroic nature. Despite not possessing superpowers like other DC Universe heroes, he would have been pursued and possibly imprisoned. However, it’s now clear that Oliver Queen has some significant strategies in store, as hinted in “Absolute Power” issue #2 (be warned: spoilers follow for those who haven’t read the second issue!).
It turns out, as we might guess, Green Arrow isn’t the antagonist in “Absolute Power” #2. Instead, Waller and her minions have assigned him to organizing their storage area, which seems like a questionable decision on their part. As it unfolds, Queen secretly infiltrates Waller’s sinister stronghold with the intention of dismantling it from within. In addition, he discovers a time-travel device that could potentially let him reverse Waller’s actions and set things right.
It could be that Queen’s choice to travel through time – should this indeed be his next step – triggers a sequence of events, ultimately resulting in Darkseid creating the Absolute Universe.
“Last month, Snyder hinted at an exciting revelation we’ve been working on alongside talented creators like Mark Waid and others who have been building up to it. During the events of Absolute Power (AP), superheroes remain oblivious as Darkseid gradually senses something amiss about his power. It’s in a pivotal moment during AP that we don’t want to spoil yet, but he senses a shift. This realization sparks a quest for him that will bring him into direct confrontation with the new and stronger Justice League Superman is assembling. The clash between these two forces promises to redefine the DC cosmos.”
As a lifelong comic book enthusiast who has eagerly anticipated each new issue of “Absolute Power,” I am thrilled to share that #2 is now available for purchase at all comic shops! For those who, like me, have followed the gripping storyline since its inception, this latest installment promises even more intrigue and excitement.
