DC Comics Adds 3 ‘New Golden Age’ Series

DC Comics’ The New Golden Age banner will soon boast three more series spearheaded by Geoff Johns. Alan Scott: The Green Lantern hails from Tim Sheridan and Cian Tormey, Jay Garrick: The Flash hails from Jeremy Adams and Deogo Olortegui, and Westley Dodds: The Sandman hails from Rob Venditti and Riley Rossmo. According to Johns, the three 6-issue miniseries will tie back into Justice Society of America and some other titles that DC is brewing.

Alan Scott: The Green Lantern will, through a timeline twist, revisit and recontextualize “the origins of the first Green Lantern through the lens of our modern understanding of the man. The story, which begins in the 1930s, is about an old flame – the kind that burns eternal – and the sometimes head-on, single-track collision of our personal and professional lives. This is Alan’s coming-of-age, in which he must embrace the man he is, to become the hero he’s meant to be. In the end, he’ll have gained a greater understanding of himself and his gifts – as he unlocks a new, previously unknown ability that could make him the most powerful Green Lantern in existence!” (DC Comics)

  Jay Gerrick: The Flash finds Jay reunited and trying to reconnect with his long lost daughter Judy, who is also a speedster. “They’ll need to work to find common ground when a mission that started in Jay’s early days as the Flash comes roaring to today. But will The Flash and The Boom be able to thwart a plan that’s been in the works for decades?!” (DC Comics)

Wesley Dodds: The Sandman follows the pacifist Wesley. “He has given up on the hope of a peaceful world, but he hasn’t stopped believing that people can be better to each other, if they’re only given the right tools. Possessing a scientist’s optimism and romanticism, he is convinced that humanity can invent cures for its own ills. Having learned about the battlefield horrors of World War I from his father, he sought to create a sleep gas that would allow for “humane” warfare. During his research, he recorded all of his attempts in his science journal - even those with horribly deadly consequences - swearing to never show them to the world. Now his journal has been stolen, and he must find the culprit and stop them before his deadly mis-inventions fall into the arsenals of the belligerent nations threatening to pull the United States into the next world war.” (DC Comics)

Alan Scott: The Green Lantern #1, Jay Gerrick: The Flash #1, and Wesley Dodds: The Sandman #1 go on sale in October 2023.

Alan Scott: The Green Lantern #4 - "Resurrection" (2024)

written by Tim Sheridan art by Cian Tormey, Jordi Tarragona, Raul Fernandez, John Livesay, & Matt Herms

[scotianostra]

Tragedy struck on December 31st 1929 72 people died in Paisley at the Glen Cinema fire.

A special children’s Hogmanay matinee performance of the silent western short film The Dude Deperado was playing to a full house of over 900 children. A reel of film caught fire and thick smoke began to drift into the auditorium. This caused panic and in the ensuing moments as the children stampeded to the exits, one of which was closed, many were crushed and trampled to death. Children ranging in age from 18 months to 14 were killed and many more were seriously injured and were hospitalised.

The Glen Cinema suffered only mainly smoke damage, but it never re-opened. A Burton’s gentleman’s clothing store was built in the 1930’s on the site of the 1912 entrance, but the auditorium and main building remains to this day in mixed use as offices and a furniture store. Original ceiling details remain and can be seen when tiles are removed from a false ceiling that has now been inserted.

Please note numbers vary on those that lost their lives from 69 to 72.

On the 31st December 2009, to mark the 80th Anniversary of the tragedy, a memorial service was held at the Cenotaph conducted by Bishop Philip Tartaglia, the Very Reverend Monsignor John Tormey and the Rev. Alan Birss.

Survivors of the tragedy assembled to remember the children who lost their lives and were injured on that fateful day, and wreaths were laid by Emily Brown, one of the survivors, who was only 5 years old on that day, and Councillor Derek Mackay representing Renfrewshire Council.

A Memorial to the children can be seen at Paisley's Hawkhead Cemetery. The Memorial lists the names of all the children who died in the tragedy, many of whom are buried in the cemetery.

Since then the Memorial Service has become an annual event, lest we never forget that terrible day.

So! Finally, the Dawn of DC series' have wrapped up and the Alan Scott: The Green Lantern series was far and away my favorite one (written by Tim Sheridan, art by Cian Tormey). So, I wanted to write up a little blurb about it and what I liked about it so much.

For those not in the know, the past six months DC has run a bunch of limited series about very early DC superheroes who have had a bit of a comeback in recent years, after the events of the Lazarus Planet stuff. Alan Scott: The Green Lantern follows the titled character and tells his origin story, altering it to fit into current DC continuity.

It starts with Alan and his struggle with his government minders, who are attempting to manipulate him by blackmailing him. They have obtained his journal from when he was a young man first looking for the legendary power, The Crimson Flame, that resulted in the accident that gave him his lantern powers. The journal details his love affair with one of his officers, Johnny Ladd, in addition to the events of the ill-fated expedition.

To make matters worse, someone is murdering people that Alan used to know and trying to make it look like Alan did it. He follows the clues, which lead him back to Arkham Asylum, a place he knows too well. He had checked himself into Arkham Asylum briefly after leaving the military. While investigating, he recalls the people he met there and his realization that none of them deserved the treatment they received in the name of "helping" them.

Throughout the story, the JSA (the Justice Society of America, kind of the progenitor of the Justice League) is also investigating the case and trying to pull Alan into the fold. But he's understandably reticent, considering that's just what his government minders want him to do.

When Alan finally catches up with the person who has been framing him, he's faced with his worst nightmare and most cherished dream. John in fact didn't die in the ocean the day they found the crimson flame. Instead, he survived and became a Red Lantern!

And okay, at this point, I would be spoiling the last two issues of the run and I don't want to do that. But, it definitely keeps getting more intense and dramatic!

This is exactly the kind of story that I love and want to read in a comic book. Like, sure it's dramatic and over the top, but if I can't let a comic book do that, then what can I? Even though it is incredibly dramatic, almost melodramatic, I still liked all the characters, I understood where they were coming from and why they were doing what they were doing, and I was absolutely glued to every issue that came out!

They're going to release all the issues in a trade paper back soon, and I encourage anyone who likes comic books and superhero stories and especially queer superheroes to give it some consideration! I really can't overstate how much I liked this series.
