DC unveils an alternate-universe Green Lantern miniseries
DC has announced Green Lantern: Doomed Cosmos, a six-issue comic miniseries set in an alternate version of its superhero universe.
In this story, the Green Lantern Corps fights an empire conquering the stars.
Hal Jordan is the Corps’ only human warrior, after the Corps rescues him from an alien world.
Oliver Queen betrays Jordan, leaving him for dead; Queen is known as Green Arrow in the main DC continuity.
The story is an Elseworlds tale, meaning it has its own continuity and can change familiar characters and settings.
Artist Kyle Hotz says the Lanterns will look battered and outmatched as they fight.
The first issue is scheduled for Jan.
20, 2027.

What people are saying
I want to get the feeling across that the Lanterns are beat up, tired, and certainly the underdogs.
