In an exciting announcement, DC Comics, via Comics Beat, revealed plans for a groundbreaking series, Green Lantern: War Journal, that promises to shake the very foundations of the DC Universe. The series will be written by Phillip Kennedy Johnson and illustrated by Montos.
DC shared the following background on what readers can expect from the series:
John Stewart’s time as a Green Lantern has come to an end…or so he thinks. A family tragedy calls him back home, and as John begins to reclaim the brilliant career he once left behind, he tries to embrace a peaceful post-superhero life. But when a terrifying and contagious force with a mysterious connection to Oa appears on Earth, the last Green Lantern of another universe comes seeking the only warrior to face this threat and win: the immortal “Guardian and Builder,” John Stewart himself! Can this brilliant but brash young Lantern help John discover the qualities that made him one of the greatest Lanterns of the entire Multiverse?
For his part, Johnson hyped the series as, “The most epic ’80s sci-fi action movie you haven’t seen is coming, and it’s set in the DCU…when Green Lantern: War Journal #1 drops, it’s going to start feeling less like Dune and a lot more like Predator, The Terminator, and Aliens. Sometimes you just need ’80s James Cameron, and that’s what this is.”
