In "Parallel Lives!", Paul Lincoln reflects on a fractured era in the DC Universe: the aftermath of Superman’s death, a time when a darker Batman emerged, four men briefly wore the mantle of the fallen hero, and Hal Jordan, shattered by the loss of Coast City, seized the power of the Green Lantern Corps—and became Parallax. Written by Len Wein with dynamic art by Scott Kolins and Dan Jurgens, and brought to life with bold colors by Mike Atiyeh and Hi-Fi, this pivotal issue captures the chaos and emotional weight of a world reeling from its greatest losses. The cover by Dan Jurgens and Jerry Ordway perfectly frames the moment’s intensity.
