Absolute Hawkman, Absolute Green Arrow And Jeffrey Epstein (Spoilers)

Absolute Hawkman, Absolute Green Arrow and Absolute Jeffrey Epstein in this week's Absolute Evil (Absolute Spoilers)

We teased this earlier, but it's all over the place now, so in for a penny, in for a pound of pain. This week sees the publication of Absolute Evil, a one-shot that brings together the worst of the worst of the Absolute folk, Ra's Al Ghul and Brainiac, The Joker, Evelyn Thawn, Hector Hammon and Victoria Cale. We ran one article of gossipy spoilers a month ago which said "In 1951, we have Hawkman ratting out superheroes for being communists to the Un-American Activities Committee." And then this appeared in the preview:

With Oliver Quinn chatting to Roy about being the Green Arrow. Or at least planning to be. Roy Harper presumably.

We then mentioned regarding Absolute Green Arrow and Oliver Quinn's appearance in Absolute Evil that we would see the appearance of millionaire slum landlord Jubal Slade…

… who only appeared in the iconic Green Arrow/Green Lantern #76, and that "he is being reintroduced to the Absolute Universe, in Absolute Evil, alongside those other rich men. Rather than being a slum landlord, Oliver Queen targets him over his own personal island and the kids he brought there. Basically, Jubal Slade is the Absolute Universe version of Jeffrey Epstein."

There has also been some mention that the choice of Jubal Slade is an interesting one, and may be a reference to Slade Wilson, known for, amongst other things, sexually abusing minors, in the DC Universe. We then ran another bunch of Absolute Evil gossip last week, which said, "Well, you know how we said that Hawkman turned traitor to his fellow heroes back in the fifties? Well, it appears that he has maintained that up to the present day. It's worth pointing out, DC has released no artwork for Absolute Green Arrow, just for Absolute Evil.". Well, it has now been confirmed all over. It doesn't look good for Absolute Green Arrow. That's what happens when you go up against Absolute Epstein…

Absolute Green Arrow, Absolute Oliver Quinn,  we hardly knew ye… and at the hands (or wings, or talons) of whoever is wearing the Hawkman get up in the Absolute Universe.

Well yes, questions, mostly what's going to happen with Absolute Green Arrow by Pornsak Pichetshote and Rafael Albuquerque, scheduled for next year? Is it going to star Roy Harper? Is that why they hadn't released any artwork yet?
