Don’t let the superhero genre fool you: #Lanterns has as much gravitas as HBO’s top dramas; in fact, it’s charting a more mature path for the DC Universe after the spunky adventures in “Superman” and “Supergirl.”
Writer Tom King has the comic book credentials to infuse “Lanterns” with plenty of references for fans, but he also brings a wealth of spy craft and detective knowledge from an unlikely place: He worked as a CIA counterterrorism officer from just after 9/11 to 2009:
“I've seen rumors that I started the Iraq War. I didn’t start the Iraq War. I was 23 years old. I was against al-Qaida and the Taliban. We were trying to stop them from doing horrible things. I was against the Iraq War. I thought it was the stupidest fucking thing. I watched people lie about stuff on TV, but I still had to go. It was my duty. I worked on some cases where people were going to blow up a base, and we stopped them. Should I have let them blow them up? Let those kids die because I didn't agree with the war?”
