DC Comics has released their solicitation information for books being published in September of 2020.  Grant Morrison and Liam Sharp seem to be channeling Hal Jordan’s turn as the Spectre to some degree, at least visually, in this month’s Green Lantern book. It also looks like Alan Scott might be getting some page time in this month’s issue of Hawkman.  Plus, as previously announced, Guy Gardner gets to play a role in this month’s Death Metal event.
