DC The New Frontier #2

In 1957, Red Ryan grapples with the aftermath of a mysterious crash that left him and three others alive—now, years later, he seeks answers by reuniting with the survivors. Meanwhile, in New York, Task Force X battles a prehistoric predator, losing one of their own, while in Tennessee, a man who escaped a lynching begins to rebuild his life under a new name. As Hal Jordan uncovers secrets tied to Task Force X in California, a young man named John Henry steps into the light, and the echoes of a forgotten island adventure begin to stir.

In "Isteria paranormale," John Jones stumbles upon a mystery after a night at the movies, only to be visited by Batman at his doorstep. As Wonder Woman faces retirement in Washington and Hal Jordan uncovers unsettling truths about Ferris Aircraft and Task Force X, Jones delves into a forbidden book seized from cultists—unearthing the hidden legend of Dinosaur Island.

In 1958, the Flash narrowly escapes a government ambush, setting off a chain of events that unravels across the country. As John Jones investigates a man claiming Martians walk among them in Gotham, Hal Jordan is abruptly removed from a classified mission in California. Meanwhile, a hunted John Henry flees in Tennessee, and Edward R. Murrow confronts the nation’s racial divide on television. When the Flash publicly denounces the government’s tactics, J’onn J’onzz makes a fateful decision—abandoning Earth to seek his home, leaving behind unsolved mysteries, including the enigmatic case of "Monster Island" as documented by Theodore Smiesel.

In "Nuvola volante," Task Force X prepares for a high-stakes space mission without Hal Jordan, while J'onn J'onzz attempts to join them—only to be captured by King Faraday. When the mission collapses and survivors are left stranded, the Challengers launch a rescue, even as the government scrambles to reach Superman for help. Just as Jordan studies the simulator, a sudden green light pulls him into the unknown.
