//SYNOPSIS_SOLICITATION: Listen up, neon-rats and data-junkies. You think you know the history of the madhouse? Forget the old code. Scott Snyder and Frank Tieri have hacked the timeline to reveal the blood-soaked foundation of Ark-M—the high-security nightmare terminal of the Absolute Universe. This isn't a hero's journey; it's a deep-dive into the architectural rot of Gotham, told through the dying confession of Amadeus Arkham.

Witness the birth of a facility designed not to heal, but to contain the glitches that the system can't delete. And keep your optics sharp: a new mercenary virus, Deathstroke, is already stalking the perimeter of the mainframe. This archive features the original Joshua Hixson Cover A—a physical tether to the most sinister corner of the new reality. Grab this key before the authorities overwrite the truth.
