DC has been teasing the arrival of the new Red Lantern for nearly a year, and the momentous villain who altered DC’s history has finally made his debut.
The official introduction of the new Red Lantern will reveal the character responsible for reshaping DC’s narrative. Teasers over the past year hinted at an enigmatic Red Lantern predating the Red Lantern Corps, challenging fans’ understanding of both Red and Green Lanterns. Alan Scott: Green Lantern #5, written by Tim Sheridan and illustrated by Cian Tormey, unveils the encounter between Alan Scott and the mysterious Red Lantern.
The cover of the upcoming issue, illustrated by Brandon Peterson, showcases the Red Lantern’s formidable power and glory. Over the past year, DC has built anticipation for the new Red Lantern by dropping hints in earlier issues of Alan Scott: Green Lantern. The story explores various attempts to control the Crimson Flame, the source of the Red Lantern’s powers.
The new Red Lantern, originating from the Soviet Union, has a daughter in the present day and disappeared while searching for her. This character’s enigmatic history is a key element of DC’s New Golden Age initiative, led by Geoff Johns. Johns, involved in the creation of the original Red Lanterns, is spearheading the initiative.
Besides posing a formidable challenge to Alan Scott, the new Red Lantern has already reshaped parts of DC’s history, particularly within Green Lantern lore. Contrary to the previous assumption that the anger-fueled Red Lanterns emerged shortly before the Blackest Night, this debut calls that timeline into question. The new Red Lantern’s ability to harness the red light of anger suggests the existence of other Red Lanterns before the well-known ones like Atroctius and Dex-Starr.
The mystery surrounding the Crimson Flame, explored in Alan Scott: Green Lantern, continues to unfold. The Flame has displayed a vengeful nature, attacking Alan’s lover and corrupting him. This behavior, deviating from traditional Red Lantern traits, raises questions about the nature of the Crimson Flame—whether it’s another manifestation of the red light of anger or a fallen sliver of the Emotional Spectrum. The new Red Lantern promises a unique perspective on the character, offering insights into the depth of its history.
