DC Comics has announced a new series as part of their Elseworlds line: Green Lantern Dark. Written by Tate Brombal with art by Werther Dell’Edera, the chilling tale of desperation, hope and resurrection arrives in comic shops on October 23rd.
“Werther and I are reimagining what a Green Lantern can be and do with this comic book, and we are so proud to introduce the world to Rina Mori,” said writer Tate Brombal. “She’s tired. She’s grumpy. The last thing she wants to do is save the world, but she’ll have to get up out of bed and do it anyhow. I promise you won’t want to miss it.”
So what’s Green Lantern Dark about?
On a postapocalyptic Earth overrun by monsters, the battle between good and evil ended long ago—and evil won.
Now darkness prevails as humanity struggles to survive in the corrupted wasteland that remains. Only one hero is said to haunt what’s left of our shadowed cities: the one who wields the mystical green flame that could return light to a shadowy world—the Green Lantern. But she’s been missing for years—and on the isolated island of New England, Solomon Grundy’s undead army only grows larger and more powerful every night.
“Tate and I are very excited to introduce you to the most rotten, grumpy, and adorable Green Lantern since Guy Gardner,” said Werther Dell’Edera. “Welcome to DC’s Elseworlds Green Lantern Dark!”
This seven-issue bimonthly (every other month) series features a main cover by series artist Dell’Edera, with variant covers by Homare, David Nakayama, and Dan Jurgens with Norm Rapmund and Alex Sinclair, plus a foil variant cover by Homare.
