Writer Tate Brombal posetd on BlueSky yesterday, where he sais "Green Lantern Dark comes to a close today. My first project at DC, which led to Batgirl and so much more. This book means more to me than anyone will ever know. I'm very proud of it. This story was only ever supposed to be one issue, then Ben Abernathy saw something in it and pushed to have it expanded to seven as part of the Elseworlds relaunch. He took a risk on me, and I'm so grateful he did. We struggled for months to land an artist, then a conversation over food in Rome led to Werther Dell'Edera demanding he draw it. We've become such good friends since then, and this book would NOT be what it is without him. I feel so lucky to call such a master my friend and collaborator. Werther brought on Giovanna Niro, another master who now EVERYBODY wants to work with. Look at her colors, and you'll see why. Tom Napolitano has become the man I trust with my words, and the artistry he brings to the voices in this book are unparalleled. I love this team! And finally, Andrea Shea joined this book after it was well into production, but she is the reason it came together so wonderfully. Alongside Ash Padilla (and Marquis Draper for a time), this was an editorial dream team. They loved and treasured this story as much as us. I never thought I'd write a Green Lantern story, until I found this one. I hope it helps make the world a little bit brighter."
