Next year is certainly shaping up to big one for the Green Lantern Corps. Lanterns, starring Kyle Chandler as Hal Jordan and Aaron Pierre as John Stewart is set to debut on HBO Max. Though the official release date has yet to be announced, it’ll be sometime later in 2026 after Supergirl hits theaters. Before that though, over in DC publishing, the main Green Lantern title is set to celebrate its landmark 600th issue.
Back in 2023 when DC relaunched a new Green Lantern series with the creative team of writer Jeremy Adams and artist Xermanico. Over the last two years, Adams and his various other collaborators have restored not only the Green Lantern Corps to its former glory but the other Corps of the Emotional Spectrum. The landmark Green Lantern #600 will feature guest GL creators, most notably writer Ron Marz and artist Darryl Banks best known perhaps for creating fan-favorite GL Kyle Raynor in the ’90s.
It’s no exaggeration to say that relationship between Hal Jordan and Carol Ferris is a romance that gives even Batman and Catwoman a run for its money. Having reclaimed the mantle and powers of Star Sapphire, Carol has embraced superheroics even becoming a member of the Justice League Unlimited to boot. In the process, it appears Hal and Carol have rekindled the flames of love. As teased by the Green Lantern #600, Carol and Hal may be adding some new rings. If indeed Hal Jordan finally settles down, hopefully he experiences a better wedding than that of Batman and Catwoman.

In this special, oversize 600th issue, Hal Jordan will be tested as never before…and a new Lantern stands poised to step in should he fail. Hal embarks on a mysterious mission while Kyle Rayner finally moves back to Los Angeles and again takes up the mantle of Green Lantern of Earth. Join Kyle as he finds a job, navigates traffic, and chases down escaped villains from Oa! All this, plus a host of legendary guest artists and writers from Lanterns past, and an answer to the question posed to Star Sapphire in the last issue…
Meanwhile, in the pages of the Green Lantern Corps ongoing title, Guy Gardner gets some time in the limelight. Though always a popular character among comic fans, Gardner has certainly gained a wider audience in recent months thanks his portrayal by Nathan Fillion in the new Superman movie. Fillion is set to reprise the character in the aforementioned Lanterns series.
