Red Lantern

Red Lantern is a villain character from the animated-series tie-in comics based on Green Lantern: The Animated Series, operating in the same cosmic arena as Hal Jordan and Kilowog. The character serves as an antagonist wielding the red light of rage against the Green Lantern Corps.

Bursting onto the scene in 2012 courtesy of the creative team of Art Baltazar, Franco, and Dario Brizuela, Red Lantern is a Modern Age DC character who made their mark in the pages tied to Green Lantern: The Animated Series. With a compact but colorful publishing run, this character shares the cosmos with heavy-hitters like Hal Jordan, Kilowog, Razer, and Aya — a roster that speaks to the rich, action-packed corner of the DC universe they inhabit. Fourteen appearances may be a tight count, but for fans of the animated-series era of Green Lantern lore and the all-ages charm that Baltazar and Franco bring to everything they touch, Red Lantern is a vibrant little piece of that moment worth tracking down.
