Description: DC COMICS DC Cinematic Universe DCU Comic Book First Appearance KeyLANTERNS SE01 (2026) First Appearance: Green Lantern (Hal Jordan, greying)Cover Appearance: Green Lantern (Older Hal Jordan)Cover Appearance: Green Lantern (John Stewart) Friday, December 19th, 2024, saw the release of the first teaser trailer for James Gunn's SUPERMAN film, the first live-action feature of the all-new DC Cinematic Universe and its over-arching story-line, "Chapter One: Gods and Monsters." While the animated series Creature Commandos is also a part of "Chapter One", the DCU's live-action additions post-Superman in 2025 and 2026 will be HBOmax's Peacemaker Season Two and Lanterns, and the live-action Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow theatrical release. With audiences already familiar with Peacemaker and much more used to seeing a Supergirl in live-action (thanks to the recent Supergirl series from CBS and The CW), interest has been much more centered on LANTERNS, described as a gritty, True Detective-styled series that will follow intergalactic space cops HAL JORDAN and JOHN STEWART as they investigate murder in the American heartland... an investigation that will uncover something much greater and far more sinister than expected. Actors Kyle Chandler and Aaron Pierre have already been cast as Jordan an Stewart, respectively, confirming the age difference between the two men -- a notable difference from modern DC Comics storytelling. In DC Comics' past, however, the age difference between the two characters was apparent. DC had aged Hal Jordan, who would eventually become an evil version of himself known as PARALLAX. He would die as Parallax, become the new host of The Spectre in the afterlife, then years later, be restored to life as a younger version of himself. The older characterization of Hal Jordan, especially in comparison to Jon Stewart, is perhaps best visualized on the cover of GREEN LANTERN #1 (Vol 3) from 1990, the first issue of the longest running Green Lantern series to-date (1990-2004). It is also the very first issue in which Hal Jordan's hair would begin turning grey, a metaphorical sign of his slide toward villainy. The series would also feature Green Lantern GUY GARDNER, a character set to appear in James Gunn's Superman (2025) and Green Lantern KYLE RAYNER, who would be introduced in Green Lantern #50 and later take over the series for Hal Jordan after his transformation and death as Parallax. A perfect addition to any Green Lantern collection and especially for all those looking forward to Green Lantern returning to live-action in the DCU's Lanterns series, a High-Grade New and Unread copy of Green Lantern #1 (1990) is what your collection deserves - today!
