Green Lantern #5

Part of DC's 2024 Dawn of DC initiative, Green Lantern #5 promises serious escalation with its "Rage of the Red!" cover tagline — and Xermanico's cover art delivers on that threat with a figure wreathed in red energy levitating at the center of a massive explosion, jets scattering in the background. In the foreground, a Green Lantern — ring charged and fist raised — looks up at the chaos overhead, setting up a vivid clash of emerald will against crimson fury. The issue also spotlights a backup story, "Wayward Son" Part Two, with interiors by Peter J. Tomasi, David Lafuente, and colorist Tamra Bonvillain rounding out what looks like a packed and thrilling read.
