DC Announces Return of Green Lantern's Best Team-Up

Green Lantern and Green Arrow join forces in a new one-shot this December.

Hal Jordan / Green Lantern continues to be a part of the pop culture conversation, especially after confirmation that Kyle Chandler is set to portray the character in the DC Universe's forthcoming Lanterns television show. As fans prepare for Hal's newest foray into live-action, a new comic is paying tribute to one of his most beloved partnerships.

As part of DC's December 2024 solicitations, DC announced Green Lantern/Green Arrow: World's Finest Special #1, a new one-shot that will be released wherever comics are sold on Wednesday, December 18th. Written by Jeremy Adams with art by Lucas Meyer and Travis Mercer, the one-shot will reunite Hal and Oliver Queen / Green Arrow in a new adventure, continuing the legacy of Dennis O'Neil and Neal Adams' beloved "Hard Travelin' Heroes" run of the 1970s.
