Green Arrow: Futures End #1

Part of DC's sweeping 2014 New 52: Futures End event, this one-shot peers into a grim possible tomorrow for Oliver Queen. Andrea Sorrentino's cover — bathed in eerie green and rain-lashed orange — depicts a crumbling gravestone bearing the name "Oliver Queen," arrows jutting from the rubble as lightning splits the sky behind it, dead trees clawing at the edges of the frame. It's a haunting, atmospheric image that sets a fittingly dark tone for Jeff Lemire and Sorrentino's collaboration on this bleak glimpse five years into the future.
