DC Comics Relaunch: Earth’s New Red Lantern Debuts With A Name & Color This Time! (Green Lantern)

Columns, News, Top Story

Following the earlier teasers from February 2012’s Red Lantern #6, including DC Comics Relaunch concept art, comes the cover in color!

And, his name is… Rankorr. :)

A Human Red Lantern, alongside Earth’s “other” Red Lantern the kitty-kat Dex-Starr, makes the Red Lanterns New 52 series a lot stronger.

Rankorr, the newest Red Lantern, is here – and he’s pissed! Find out what happens when the red ring selects a human host overcome with rage and grief. Plus: Atrocitus and Bleez face off against each other, and an old enemy stands revealed.

Wasn’t there a He-Man character with a similar name? ;) Or maybe it just sounds like that. (UPDATE: Thanks to 2 posters for identifying the Star Wars connection to the name.)
