DC Comics has released their solicitations for books being released in January of 2019, including trade paperback and hardcover collections that ship later in the year. Of note this month is the appearance of Kyle Rayner in the Justice League Annual and an as yet unnamed Green Lantern appearance in a special DC anthology one-shot. January marks the debut of the return of Young Justice as well as the “Teen Lantern” in a new series penned by Brian Bendis. DC is also releasing quite a bit of Geoff Johns era content in various collected editions, including a 10 year anniversary hardcover omnibus edition of Blackest Night.

With the Justice League frozen by Gamma Gong tech, Earth ends up on the auction block, and Volgar Zo hosts a menagerie of the universe’s deadliest despots and criminals: Steppenwolf, Queen Bee, the Dominators and much, much worse. Hal Jordan leads a squad of Lanterns into the fray—and someone’s going to pay the ultimate price before this case gets closed.
