Preview: Green Lantern Takes On The HYPERMAN Family

TheGreen Lantern ’s job is never done , but even for Hal Jordan , taking onan evil version of Supermanis out of the average . But he ’ll be doing exactly that in his next comic arc⁠—along with this Man of Steel ’s first-rate - powered family , too .

consider the unbelievable height that Grant Morrison and Liam Sharp have explored inThe Green Lantern : Season Two , a pair of murderous supervillains might in reality be seen as a walk in the parkland for Hal Jordan , with cosmic threats , a newfangled host of Guardians , and a massive galactic war on the way . So to make thing interesting , DC Comics has confirm that the Lantern - killing scoundrel are actually Hyperman and Hyperwoman ; a debased interpretation of Superman / Clark Kent and his cruel married woman . But from our exclusive preview of the pair ’s arriver inThe Green Lantern : Season Two # 5 , it is n’t just Hal Jordan who will need to worry about Hyperman ’s temper .

The throwback style on display from Sharp is no concurrence , as Issue # 5 sees the return of the long - forgotten Hyperman and his " hyper - wife , " heroes who appear to beformermembers of the United Planets Superwatch . The superhero alinement previously appeared inThe Green Lantern # 9 , with Morrison and Sharp gather a delightfully random categorisation of Silver Age cosmic type , with Hyperman ( a Superman analogue ) among them . But the prevue pages show how much has transpired since then , as Hyperman ’s superpowered teammate are now raging on his trail . And after the premature government issue concluded with this Hyper - couple getting the drop on Hal Jordan , the enigma is only building as the corrupted hero returns to his Silver Age aesthetic to terrorize ( a version of ) Lois Lane ! revel the preview pages below :
