THE EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW

While we didn’t make it to the Lanterns premiere event this week, we did get an exclusive interview with Tom King during SDCC 2026. As part of our traditional Comic-Con interview, Tom joined Host Matt Sernaker and discussed their respective excitement for Lanterns, Tom’s experience with the cast at their SDCC Hall H Panel, a casting tease for the upcoming Mister Miracle animated series (ok, it’s Nathan Fillion), and more. Check out the feature below:

THE RING

Every Lantern needs to have their own ring, and now you can get an official version based on the Lanterns series. These rings are stainless steel with gold IP plating (ion plating) and filled with green enamel. Available in sizes 9-12. If you missed out on getting one of these during San Diego Comic-Con (a.k.a “The Most Coveted Item at SDCC 2026”), now is your chance.

THE MERCH

The DC Shop currently has a wide variety of apparel and items for every Green Lantern fan. Jackets, hoodies, shirts, stickers, and more can be found here.
