Red Hood and Kyle Rayner are transformed in Worlds Without a Justice League - Green Lantern
John Stewart is an 'Emerald Knight of Justice' and hangs around with Green Lantern-powered Red Hood AKA Jason Todd and the blind prophet Kyle Rayner.
But wait, isn't John Stewart dead?
It's complicated...
That's Stewart's post-Justice League #75 reality in the August Dark Crisis special, Worlds Without a Justice League – Green Lantern #1, one of five such specials featuring two stories a piece that star the 'dead' Justice League heroes on individual dream-like worlds.
Green Lantern, which features a backup story starring Hawkgirl, follows July's Dark Crisis: Worlds Without a Justice League - Superman #1 which features a main story starring the Man of Steel and a backup Aquaman story.
WWJL - Green Lantern's main story is written by Phillip Kennedy Johnson and illustrated by Fernando Blanco, while the Hawkgirl story is written by Nadia Shammas and drawn by Jack Herbert.
CBR debuted a variant cover for the issue by Mario Foccillo featuring alternative takes on the familiar DC heroes.
