Green Lantern Brings Game of Thrones' 'Mother of Dragons' To DC's Universe
Warning! Spoilers ahead for Green Lantern #11
The latest issue of DC Comics' Green Lantern features a pretty clear reference to Games of Thrones, creating its own «Mother of Dragons» in the same vein as Emilia Clarke's Daenerys Targaryen.
