Green Lantern Corps: The Rebirth of Heroes
The last few years have been tumultuous for the Green Lantern Corps. After being overtaken by the United Planets, the Corps faced corruption and devastation. Fortunately, a hidden reserve Central Power Battery on Earth sparked hope. This move paves the way for their revival in an exciting new series under the DC All-In banner.
A Team of Titans
This upcoming series promises to reignite the Green Lantern magic. Spearheading the project is Jeremy Adams, renowned for his work on Hal Jordan’s adventures. He collaborates with Morgan Hampton, the genius behind Cyborg. Together, they weave a narrative that brings fresh life to the Corps. The visual splendor will be curated by artists Fernando Pasarín and Oclair Albert, ensuring every page captivates.
Reassembling the Legends
The Green Lantern Corps hasn’t been entirely absent from the comic landscape. John Stewart recently wrapped up his gripping miniseries, segueing into an intense Green Lantern Civil Corps Special. Meanwhile, the monthly Green Lantern series featured backup tales, highlighting characters like Jessica Cruz and Guy Gardner. Yet, it’s been ages since other Corps members had their moment in the spotlight.
The new series seeks to put this right, celebrating a collective resurgence. A sneak peek at the first issue reveals an ensemble starring John Stewart, Kyle Rayner, Jessica Cruz, Jo Mullein, Guy Gardner, Simon Baz, and Keli Quintela. The story promises high-stakes action, uniting the squad against formidable foes.
Confronting a New Menace
The emerging threat is none other than the Fractal Lanterns, corrupted agents of the United Planets. Unlike anything seen before, they wield the entire Emotional Spectrum rather than the pure Green Light of Will. This imbalance is creating unpredictable powers within the Spectrum, thus heralding chaos. The enigmatic villain, Sorrow, feeds on this mayhem, drawing strength from sadness. The Corps must thwart his ambitions and prevent his enigmatic master from creating a new power battery.
Get ready to dive back into the Lantern universe when Green Lantern Corps #1 lands in comic stores on February 12, 2025.
