Hal Jordan’s Challenge
Hal Jordan has always been a hero admired for his courage and determination. But in Green Lantern #14, he faces one of the greatest challenges of his career. Amanda Waller, one of the most feared and manipulative characters in the DC Universe, has Hal in her clutches. To escape, he must don the weapons of some of the DC Universe’s most notorious villains.

Freezing Rain and Ice Disrupt Travel Across Central and Eastern Europe
Dangerous winter weather brings chaos to roads, rails, and airports as authorities urge caution A powerful wave of freezing rain and ice storms has swept across large parts of central and eastern Europe, bringing daily life to a near standstill and creating hazardous travel conditions for millions. From Germany and Austria to Poland, the Czech Republic, and parts of the Balkans, ice-coated roads, grounded flights, and disrupted rail services have turned routine journeys into dangerous ordeals. Meteorologists warn that freezing rain — one of the most treacherous winter weather phenomena — poses a greater risk than snowfall because it creates an invisible glaze of ice that is nearly impossible to detect until it is too late. What Is Freezing Rain and Why Is It So Dangerous? Freezing rain occurs when rain falls through a layer of warm air and then passes into sub-zero temperatures near the ground. Instead of freezing mid-air like snow, the rain remains liquid until it hits a cold surface, where it instantly turns to ice. The result is black ice — a thin, transparent layer that covers roads, sidewalks, power lines, aircraft wings, and railway tracks. Unlike snow, it offers no traction and is extremely difficult to remove. Experts describe freezing rain as one of winter’s most dangerous hazards, capable of crippling transport networks within hours. Travel Chaos Across the Region Across central and eastern Europe, the effects have been swift and severe. Major highways have reported multi-vehicle accidents, while local roads have become impassable in rural and mountainous areas. In several countries, authorities temporarily closed sections of motorways after trucks jackknifed on ice-slick surfaces. Rail networks were also hit hard. Ice accumulation on overhead lines caused power failures and signal disruptions, forcing trains to run at reduced speeds or be canceled altogether. Thousands of passengers were stranded at stations as operators struggled to keep services running safely. Air travel faced similar challenges. Airports in Germany, Poland, and the Czech Republic reported delays and cancellations as aircraft required repeated de-icing. Even a thin layer of ice can dramatically affect an aircraft’s lift, making safety checks essential but time-consuming. Emergency Services Under Pressure Emergency responders across the region were stretched thin as calls surged. Ambulances struggled to reach patients on icy streets, while fire brigades responded to accidents, fallen trees, and damaged power lines. Hospitals also reported a rise in slip-and-fall injuries, particularly among older residents. Broken bones, head injuries, and hypothermia cases increased as people attempted to navigate frozen sidewalks. Authorities urged residents to avoid non-essential travel and to remain indoors whenever possible. Power Outages and Infrastructure Damage Beyond transport, the ice storm also affected energy infrastructure. Ice-laden power lines sagged and snapped under the weight, leading to localized power outages in several regions. In rural areas, repair crews faced dangerous conditions as they worked to restore electricity. Icy roads slowed response times, leaving some communities without power for extended periods during freezing temperatures. Telecommunications networks also experienced disruptions, further complicating emergency response efforts. Economic Impact and Business Disruptions The freezing rain has had an immediate economic impact. Delivery services were delayed, factories reduced shifts due to staff shortages, and retailers reported lower foot traffic as customers stayed home. Logistics companies warned that prolonged icy conditions could disrupt supply chains, particularly for food and medical supplies that rely on just-in-time delivery systems. Tourism was also affected, with winter destinations reporting canceled bookings and delayed arrivals, even as ski resorts benefited from colder temperatures at higher elevations. Climate Change and Extreme Winter Weather Scientists point out that climate change may be contributing to more frequent freezing rain events. As winters become warmer overall, temperatures often hover around the freezing point — the exact conditions needed for freezing rain. This creates a paradox where regions experience fewer snowstorms but more ice storms, which can be far more destructive. Climatologists warn that infrastructure across Europe was largely designed for snow, not prolonged ice events, leaving cities vulnerable as weather patterns evolve. Authorities Urge Vigilance Governments and meteorological agencies issued repeated warnings, advising drivers to reduce speed, increase braking distance, and equip vehicles with winter tires and emergency kits. Pedestrians were encouraged to wear non-slip footwear and use handrails whenever possible. Schools in several areas shifted to remote learning to reduce travel risks. Officials emphasized that patience and caution save lives, reminding citizens that even experienced drivers cannot control a vehicle on black ice. Looking Ahead Forecasts suggest that temperatures may gradually rise in some areas, easing icy conditions, while others could face additional freezing rain before the system moves on. Cleanup and repairs are expected to continue for days, even after the weather improves. The freezing rain sweeping across central and eastern Europe serves as a stark reminder that winter’s most dangerous storms are not always the most visible. As climate patterns continue to change, authorities and citizens alike may need to rethink how they prepare for — and respond to — ice, not just snow.

A Dart at Dusk
Seconds ago, the sullen sun set on the two of us… my exuberant furry companion and me. A fresh breeze embraces us, delivering welcome relief from the day’s oppressive heat. His typical stumbling and staggering along — apace with a sloth — has turned into trip-trapping, high-stepping, almost skipping along.
