Curtis “Curt” Metcalf is a genius inventor who, in his Hardware identity, uses a variety of high-tech gadgets to fight organised crime. A central irony of the series (of which Metcalf is fully aware) is that Metcalf’s employer, respected businessman Edwin Alva—who provides the resources Metcalf uses to create Hardware’s hardware—is secretly the crime boss whom Hardware is trying to bring down.
Green Lanterns (Volume 1) is a 57 issue ongoing comic book series published by DC Comics from 2016 to 2018. Begun as part of the DC Rebirth initiative, it replaced Green Lantern (Volume 5) and starred Green Lanterns of Earth Simon Baz and Jessica Cruz. Published twice monthly, the book was written by Sam Humphries for its first 32 issues and Tim Seeley for the next fifteen.
After a short, two-issue story by Sam Humphries (and the cancellation of sister title Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps (Volume 1)), the book was taken over by writer Dan Jurgens, who expanded the roster to include other members of the Green Lantern Corps and closed out the title with an eight issue arc. Penciling duties were handled by a rotating team of writers during the book’s biweekly phase, including Carlo Barberi, Ed Benes, Ronan Cliquet, Eduardo Pansica, and Robson Rocha, with Mike Perkins taking over as sole artist during Jurgens’ tenure as writer.
It was cancelled in late 2018 and replaced with Grant Morrison and Liam Sharp‘s The Green Lantern (Volume 1)

The team first appeared in August 1992 in the first issue of their eponymous comic book WildC.A.T.s: Covert Action Teams, published by Image Comics. It was Image founding partner Jim Lee’s first work published by the newly launched company, and his first creator-owned project. The Wildcats were the starting point for Lee’s menagerie of interconnected superhero creations which became the foundation of the Wildstorm Universe. The Wildcats launched at the apex of a speculator-fueled comics sales boom and was wildly popular at its inception, with wholesale sales to comic book stores above one million copies for early issues. This first series ran for 50 issues, and in addition to Lee, featured work by comics creators such as Travis Charest, Chris Claremont, James Robinson and Alan Moore. This popularity saw the property expand into other media, with an animated adaptation of the comic debuting on CBS in 1994 and a toyline from Playmates Toys.
As with all of the books associated with the DC relaunch, Clark Kent appears to be about five years younger than the previous incarnation of the character (where it would focus on the early days of Superman’s career, whereas the main series would focus on the present). Superheroes at large have appeared only in the past five years, and are viewed with at best, suspicion, and at worst, outright hostility. The storyline in Action Comics takes place about a year before the events of Justice League #1, and was referred to by DC Co-Publisher Dan DiDio as “DC Universe Year Zero” while JL operates as “Year One.” The Man of Steel is not yet trusted by the citizens of Metropolis and wears a basic costume consisting of a caped T-shirt, jeans and work boots.
