DC Comics has released their solicitations for comics being published in May of 2021. Included is the previously announced John Stewart 50th Anniversary hardcover. The official solicitation includes Green Lantern: Mosaic #18 however DC recently indicated that this was being replaced with Justice League Vol. 4 #40. I’ve included the updated information in my listing, plus the inclusion of essays which DC omitted from their solicitation.
