Jon Kent gets a comprehensive course in dark magic when John Constantine sics a golem on him.

Circuit Breaker struggles to stifle his powers after the Flash of Earth-11 leaps out of the time stream and knocks them both into another dimension. Just how far would Flashlight go to honor his lost love? All these stories and many more in DC Pride 2023!

Hal Jordan’s homecoming is off to a rocky start! Carol Ferris is this close to firing him from the job he’s only just begged his way into, his power ring isn’t exactly working right, and off in the shadows, Sinestro, the architect of Hal’s current crisis, is waiting for the perfect moment to strike. Plus, the hard-hitting “John Stewart: War Journal” backup series from writer Phillip Kennedy Johnson and artist Montos heats up as the Guardian John Stewart and his team, the Watchtower, fall under siege from a mysterious new threat!

  1. Hal is looking great on that issue two cover. I wonder if John gets his spin-off or does that story just stay as a backup. It makes more sense as a backup.

      1. Johnson has said multiple times in recent interviews that the Stewart backups are a prelude to the ongoing GL: John Stewart series launching later this year.
