DC Comics has released their solicitation information for comics releasing in January of 2025, plus some collected editions that won't see the light of day for some time.

Hal Jordan appears on one of the covers for DC's horror anthology, but the solicitation doesn't mention anything about him appearing in the book.
The Podcast of Oa Episode 250 - The Blog of Oa
Co-hosts Myron Rumsey and Phil Bova are back with a doozy with episode 250 of The Podcast of Oa. Green Lantern issue 15 shows itself to be another good chapter in the Jeremy Adams run, but then the conversation goes dark when the two talk about the casting of Kyle Chandler as Hal Jordan in the Lanterns series. Listeners have asked for a no holds barred conversation and they get it with this one as Myron targets his ire on the decision making process and points a middle finger at Ryan Reynolds. Needless to say this one isn't going to be family friendly!

Green Lantern #11 Review - The Blog of Oa
Green Lantern #11 feels like the issue that this series has been building towards from the get go. Everything that the creative team has been doing up to now has positioned this series to where it is now, with a feeling that each plot is coming to a crescendo at the same time. What a great time to be a lantern fan! Nine out of ten lanterns.

Green Lantern #9 Review - The Blog of Oa
Green Lantern #9 checks a lot of boxes for me as a veteran Green Lantern reader, and I feel like the series so far has been like the beginning of a roller coaster ride where we are just about to hit the top of the lift hill before the ride really begins. Jeremy Adams has been laying the groundwork for a great adventure and I feel like, as good as this series has been, we are just getting started.
Green Lantern: War Journal #6 Review - The Blog of Oa
Green Lantern: War Journal #6 doesn't quite end the first arc of the series so much and serves as a pause before taking it to the next level. Phillip Kennedy Johnson and Montos continue to shine as a bright creative duo on the series, and this issue is another great example of their creativity unleashed.
