Today DC announced it would be adding to its second wave of titles, as writer Deniz Camp confirmed that Absolute Martian Manhunter would be joining Absolute Green Lantern and Absolute Flash in 2025. Camp is making his DC series debut with artist Javier Rodríguez on a new take on one of DC’s most enigmatic characters. Fans will have to wait until next March to see if Chocos (Martian Manhunter’s favorite snack) will be involved.
The Green Lantern Corps will join DC’s Absolute line in March of 2025, and Ewing also spoke about collaborating with artist Jahnoy Lindsay on Absolute Green Lantern. As the audience got another exclusive reveal of art by series artist Lindsay, Ewing revealed how Absolute “showrunner” Scott Snyder convinced him to become part of the Absolute Universe, how the series will follow the same aesthetic of the other Absolute titles like Absolute Batman, Absolute Superman, and Absolute Wonder Woman, what members of the Green Lantern Corps will appear in the series in addition to Jo Mullein, and what kind of story readers can expect from him and Lindsay when the series launches in March 2025.
Jeremy Adams will continue writing the monthly adventures of Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps, but he also revealed early details on Green Lantern: Fractured Spectrum with art provided by V Ken Marion. This January 8th one-shot follows the events of the Green Lantern Civil Corps Special, as a re-formed Green Lantern Corps led by Hal Jordan investigates a new threat: “Fractal Lanterns,” beings that manifest uncontrolled parts of the emotional spectrum, appearing throughout the universe and threatening the very essence of sentient life.
