Green Lantern’s multiversal equivalent, Flashlight, is coming back for DC Pride 2023 in a story that can continue his love story with his Flash.

A new story involving a variant of Green Lantern may be the answer fans have been hoping for after a promising queer romance was wasted. Hal's Earth-36 counterpart is coming back in DC's annual Pride release to honor his fallen love.

DC has recently unveiled a mountain of Pride Month-themed content fans can expect for the publisher's June releases. In addition to a swath of variant covers, DC Comics will be releasing DC Pride 2023 #1, its latest anthology celebrating LGBTQ+ heroes and creators. As part of the anthology, comic book legend Grant Morrison is returning to the DC Universe along with artist Hayden Sherman for a new Multiversity story.

SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY Sherman posted a look at the story on Twitter, revealing that it will center around Green Lantern's Earth-36 counterpart, Flashlight. The small glimpse shows Flashlight, aka Hank Hallmark, gripping his Power Torch as it flares against the infinite cosmos. Sherman says the story will show just how far Hallmark is willing to go in order to "honor his lost love".

Many fans weren’t happy with the untimely death of Flash’s counterpart. In fact, writer Grant Morrison called out Red Racer’s death on their Substack, criticizing the decision to sacrifice the speedster. While Morrison was able to continue the story of Hank in their work in The Green Lantern, some fans feel that there was lot of potential that was squandered by killing Red Racer too early .

Grant Morrison Returns to Tell A Deserving Queer Romance Story Now, just because Morrison is returning to pen a story about Flashlight and Red Racer doesn’t necessarily mean the Flash variant is coming back to life and resuming his life with Hank. It could very well just be a story that reflects on their love and past together. But regardless of what the story actually contains, it's nice to see something done with the couple.
