Hal Jordan is now a member of the Blackstars, and alongside Belzebeeth they are making their presence felt on Earth. That's why Earth's biggest heroes gather to take on the Blackstars, including some of their biggest guns like Superman and Wonder Woman, and while they see Hal as a friend, they aren't crazy about his new friends. Grant Morrison, Xermanico, and Steve Oliff delivered one crazy first issue, and things are only going to get crazier in Green Lantern: Blackstars #2, and we've got your first look at the anticipated new issue. Not only can you check out the fully colored pages, but you can also see the in-progress pages fully inked, and you can check it all out starting on the next slide.

The issue will feature several heroes, but Morrison did pay special attention to Superman, though not in the way you might be expecting. "It's my cruelest portrayal of Superman that I've ever done, that makes him out to be the worst he can possibly be. I'm hoping people will really dig it, because it's almost a roast of modern comics, including my own," Morrison said.

You can check out the solicitation information for the issue below.
