The publisher also recently announced a follow up to its popular DC Power Black History Month anthology.

DC Power 2024 features new and original stories, including an epilogue to the award-winning Far Sector, by series writer N.K. Jemisin and artist Jamal Campbell. This story is particularly notable, as it will see Green Lanterns Sojourner "Jo" Mullein and John Stewart meet for the very first time.

DC Power 2024 is published on January 30.

We interviewed writer Phillip Kennedy Johnson recently about Green Lantern: War Journal and how it will change the way you think about John Stewart.
