DC Comics has begun releasing their June 2015 comics solicitations for their post-Convergence DC Universe. Details have emerged about the new Green Lantern ongoing series, Green Lantern: Lost Army which confirm speculation that we shared in The Podcast of Oa episode 81, so those who don’t want to be spoiled may want to avoid the solicitations. We also learn some information about Hal Jordan’s role in the universe as we see he gets a new partner as he begins his place as a renegade. The spoilers continue when it comes to the information mentioned for The Omega Men #1, so again be forewarned.

Imagine waking up in a strange place where you didn’t recognize anything, and everyone you knew and loved was nowhere to be found. Now imagine that you are a Green Lantern. The rest of the Corps is missing, you don’t know where you are and there’s not a Power Battery to be found for as far as your ring can scan. Where are you? How did you get here? Those are just two of the many questions facing our heroes.
Starring John Stewart, Two-Six, Kilowog and Arisia, and featuring a surprise guest-star we promise you’ll never predict, LOST ARMY is an incredible journey of discovery, survival, morality and heartbreak. Never has the Corps been challenged in this way – and not everyone is going to make it home!
