>In an alternate corner of the DC Universe, humanity has become a scourge upon the stars when writer Dan Watters and artist Kyle Hotz launch Green Lantern: Doomed Cosmos, a new six-issue DC Elseworlds series that transforms the Green Lantern mythology into a sprawling cosmic war where the human race is the enemy and Hal Jordan may be the universe’s best hope for survival.>For centuries, the Empire of Humanity has swept across the universe, laying siege to the cosmos planet by planet until all kneel before the might of the human race. Only the heavily militarized Green Lantern Corps dares oppose the human crusade.>And no human has ever fought for the Corps against the Empire. Until Hal Jordan.>Once a soldier fighting on behalf of humanity, Hal was betrayed by his battle-brother Oliver Queen and left for dead on an alien world. Rescued and deprogrammed by the Green Lantern Corps, Hal is now the Corps’ only human warrior and a powerful strategic weapon in its war against humankind. Hal’s blood-soaked odyssey will carry him through the burning ruins of a DC Universe unlike any readers have seen before, as Hal fights for peace by taking the battle to the shores of Hell itself.
>“Visually, I am trying to walk the line between over-the-top space opera and the emotional beats of the story,” said Kyle Hotz. “Apart from being a Green Lantern fan from when I was just a little kid, my prep for this was really spending time studying some of the best war films. I want to get the feeling across that the Lanterns are beat up, tired, and certainly the underdogs. Their armor is cracked and broken, and their weapons are held together with tape and wire. These are soldiers nearing the end of their fight.”>This is a world where there is no joy and no peace to be found, only an intergalactic crusade and the few heroes still willing to stand against it. Across six issues, Watters and Hotz push the DC Universe to outrageous new extremes, reimagining familiar heroes, villains, worlds, and alliances as the war for the cosmos grows increasingly unpredictable.
>Green Lantern: Doomed Cosmos joins the tradition of DC Elseworlds, where familiar heroes are taken from their usual settings and completely reimagined in strange times and places across alternate worlds in the DC Universe. These stories transform familiar characters in unexpected ways, in tales where anything can happen and no hero’s fate is guaranteed.>Green Lantern: Doomed Cosmos #1, written by Dan Watters with art and a main cover by Kyle Hotz, colors by Dan Brown and letters by Steve Wands, arrives at participating comic book shops and digital retailers on January 20, 2027. Issue #1 also features variant covers by Björn Barends, Steve Beach, and Ashley Wood, plus a foil variant cover by Barends. The 32-page debut issue is $4.99 US, with card stock variants available for $5.99 US and the foil variant for $7.99 US.

>We want the WH 40k audience
>le humans are the real evil and le imperium has gotten too powerful>le Hal will be discriminated against by both sides but he will le ultimately triumph through bullshit clever action or le deus ex machina lantern deity/manifestation or he will ultimately fail in the end with no real message to be gleaned>Main draw is Kyle Hotz art I will get for free from here or batcaveSasuga, DC and Hotz but I will still not buy
>>155981126You're not wrong, but this seems antithetical to that.I'm almost impressed by how consistently disappointing even cheap copies are these days.
>>155980977>GL vs the Azreaels>Not the Darkstars
Could be cool but I dislike the artist.
>muscles and gunsWe are back
>Only the heavily militarized Green Lantern Corps dares oppose the human crusade.I'll be waiting for one good reason to actually side with the Lanterns, but I know there wont be one.>>155981126Probably only the "muh no good guys" neckbeards and pseuds.
Seems like late millennial/early Z nostalgia for spess marine hyperconflict is kicking in
This looks fucking awesome
>>155981614>>155981937Colonialism is bad lol.
>>155981937You just made shit up and got mad at nothing fbut your own assumptions. I for one accept our new RIP AND TEAR lantern overlords
>>155982051You guys are the biggesrt fucking niggers I ever seen since I saw your mother.This has muscles and pouches and guns and Im in
Looks absolutely baller... in fact, this is what Absolute Green Lantern should've been.
Pure chad energy, and mankind devolved into early azrael.
>>155981614>>le humans are the real evil and le imperium has gotten too powerfulIn fairness though this is an Order of St Dumas-controlled Earth, if they brainwashed everyone like they did Jean-Paul Valley then it'd explain things
>>155982205Came into the thread to post this.
>>155982092What are you on about you tranny cock lover? I also think this is pretty badass.
>>155982269The idea a lot of Azraels would be the DCU's worst worry when Dominators exist is insane.
>>155982298>Trannies out of nowhere
>>155982205blessed post
>>155982205I choose to believe it's the Absolute version of Green Lantern Earth One
>>155980977This looks like the art from the Morrison run a few years ago. Same artist?
>>155982909If only you could check that information by yourself...
>>155981126Even got a British writer though I don't think Watters has ever done a 40k book
>>155982909Liam Sharp was the Morrison run artist
>>155982305If I remember correctly, Watters, in his Azrael run, has the order of St Dumas have some non-functioning Mother Boxes and New Gods tech, so I guess this Elseworlds logic is that they had a working version of that Mother Box and took over Earth and then the galaxy.
>>155983162That is exactly what this is
>>155984019dope
>>155980977> DC ripping off Space King555-Come the fuck on now
>>155980977This is the Absolute Green Lantern we should have got
>>155987147If they wanted to live to the dark version of the characters, Absolute GL should have been about a small corps of Green Lantern fighting an overwhelming unstoppable force of Omega powered Darkstars/Dominators, Sinestro Corps or Manhunters instead of this gay Radiant Black Power Rangers bullshit.
Looks interesting to be honest
>>155981790Yeah, after Green Lantern Season 2, I never want to see a Darkstar ever again.
>>155980977Admittedly, the reversal of the usual space marine plot with the GLC fighting off rampaging humans is novel, but it still feels like a cheap attempt at playing to the Warhammer crowd 30 years too late.Also, even with backwards engineered New God tech, I can't take swarms of Azraels seriously. It's really telling that the GLC has to be portrayed as barebones space marines up against a buffed the Order of St. Dumas to even be remotely threatening.
bump
>>155980977Why’s bro fighting off hordes of Azrael
>>155980977So creative.
>>155990197Lool
>>155992025whats so funny?
IN THE GRIM DARKNESS OF THE 21ST CENTURY ONE MAN FIGHTS FOR HIS RIGHT TO TEENAGE GASH
>>155990127See >>155983162>>155984019It's basically using an idea he established in his Sword of Azrael miniseries four years ago where he established that The Order of St Dumas had defunct New Gods tech in the 12th centuryThis upcoming Elseworlds is just saying that the Order had a working Motherbox in the 12th century the DCU would end up becoming Warhammer 40K
>>155981833an evergreen tweet~
>>155980977Looks DOPE. Kyle Hotz is so underrated.
>>155981126They LITERALLY use the term "Battle brother"
>>155980977I dig this funky art.Looks like it takes place in the future so therefore they should tie in with Hal's "Pol Manning" persona and not be else worlds but take place in mainline book
>>155982205Absolute GL started off okay when I thought it was going to be some battle Royale/ hunger games shit where everyone in the town had to kill each other and the winner got to be a GLbut jeez it really just went all over the place with no explanations instead.
>>155995828His lobo one shot was greatShould do some issues on the new series
>>155982051maybe...maybe not
>>155995906>Absolute GL started off okayIt really fucking didn't.
