Ups. Thanks for correcting me lol.

 

[WompuM]

Oops, not Ups. The **** is the matter with you?

 

[Watson]

He's giving you ups I think?

And that's cool. Kind of a tiny role for Robbins isn't it?

We figured you’d need a few hours to fully process how awesome that David Finch Aquaman image is. But it doesn’t end there. And we did promise you more news, right? Well, here we go.
As you know, BRIGHTEST DAY affects a number of titles, including GREEN LANTERN and GREEN LANTERN CORPS. And it’s no surprise that some of the changes affecting the post-BLACKEST NIGHT DCU will hit these titles.
So, say hello to the new GREEN LANTERN CORPS writer: Tony Bedard.
Bedard’s not a newbie to the DCU’s sci-fi side, having blazed an impressive trail of chaos and drama with his epic work on R.E.B.E.L.S. He should feel right at home overseeing the adventures of the no. 1 interstellar police force in the universe. And his deft handling of the R.E.B.E.L.S. BLACKEST NIGHT tie-ins show he’s no stranger to all things Oa. But don’t take my word for it. Tony?
“This is far and away the most exciting gig of my career. When they called to offer me the job and Geoff literally said, ‘Welcome to the Green Lantern Corps’ I felt like I’d put on a power ring. Now I just have to play up to Pete Tomasi’s impossibly high standards–!“
Oh, and who’ll be starring in GREEN LANTERN CORPS? Well, some names you might be familiar with: John Stewart, Kyle Rayner and Green Lantern Ganthet. Yup. You read that correctly.
On the art side, we have Source “Artist to Watch” Ardian Syaf taking point on Tony’s first arc. His detailed style and dynamic camera angles are reminiscent of some of the biggest names in the industry. In less than a year, Syaf has put together a remarkable resume, including BLACKEST NIGHT: BATMAN, PHANTOM STRANGER and an arc on SUPERMAN/BATMAN. Not too shabby, eh?
But before you hit the panic button, let me calm your fears about the super-talented team stepping away from GREEN LANTERN CORPS — they’re not going very far. This is where the drumroll starts in my head.
We’re proud to announce that, starting in a few short months, there’ll be a new ongoing GREEN LANTERN series joining the shelves: GREEN LANTERN: EMERALD WARRIORS, starring everyone’s favorite ring-wielding hot head, Guy Gardner — with regular appearances from Kilowog. And who better to handle Guy’s adventures than Peter Tomasi, who’s knocked it out of the park on a monthly basis with his sharp dialogue and plotting on GREEN LANTERN CORPS? Hard to argue with that, I think.
On art duties we have Fernando Pasarin, who, like Ardian, has built a solid list of credits here in the DCU in a very short amount of time — from JUSTICE SOCIETY OF AMERICA to THE OUTSIDERS. Pasarin’s modern and kinetic style make him a perfect candidate to chronicle the new, monthly Guy Gardner series. We’ll have some snazzy Pasarin art right here in no time.
But enough from me. What’s Pete got to say about it all?
“I’m really excited to be working on this new series, expanding the mythology and franchise of the Green Lantern Universe.”
Thanks, Pete! And, as for Mr. Gleason, well, like I said, it’s a busy day here at The Source…

I don't know about the new GLC writer but Ardian Syaf is drawing it. <3 He's a new rising star who drew Blackest Night: Batman.

Herp Derp.

 

[BrianWilly]

ack

eeeeeee

I like Bedard. He's written a lot of stuff that I love.

But do I trust him to take over my most favorite series??????questionmark????

And this'll make...what, four different Lantern-related series at once?














...

 

[SouLeSS]

So let me get this straight.

They pull Tomasi off the book after around 25 issues. Add in a new guy, and give Tomasi his own book that's going to be following, basically, the same characters (minus Kyle) he was writing in Corps?

Why not just make a new title called Green Lantern : Kyle John and Ganthet Awesome Adventures In Space and put Tony Bedard on it instead of this whole switcharoo thing...

Makes no sense to me.

 

[Ion Kenshin]

Sweet!! Hopefully this means some good face time for John. My 1st and 3rd fav lanterns in one book.....I'm with it.

 

[Jennifer Walters]

Okay...so...that's Green Lantern, Green Lantern Corps, and Green Lantern: Emerald Warriors? Geez, overkill of a franchise beginning.

 

[SouLeSS]

It's one of the most popular DC franchises though.

And you forgot Brightest Day, so theres going to be 4 Green Lantern centric books.

 

[Hush]

Didio will try and make Brightest Day more DC Universe centric, well i mean he will SAY that.

 

[Ion Kenshin]

JAB you are just one giant ray of sunshine today

 

[Colossal Spoons]

The hell haven't I subscribed to this thread yet? Hmm

 

[Jennifer Walters]

JAB you are just one giant ray of sunshine today

Why, thank you.

Actually in all honesty. This new is awesome, I like Ganthet and Gardner so it should be good to see their roles beefed up.

[TheCorpulent1]

I'm a little confused at this as well. Tomasi's forged a pretty strong bond between Guy and Kyle during his run on the series, so it seems odd that he's now pulling Guy away to have him do his own thing. But it could be cool. We'll see.

I'm more interested in 1) what the hell Emerald Warriors is going to be about to differentiate it from the Green Lantern Corps series' early Guy-centric days (which had a natural and well written evolution into GLC as we now know it), and 2) the fact that Ganthet is apparently sticking around specifically as a Green Lantern.

 

[SouLeSS]

Yeah, Kyle and Guy seemed to form a real broship in GLC. ****ers even opened a resturant on OA together.

Haha, it really does sound like a sitcom. Oh, what zany antics will [blackout]Larfleeze[/blackout] get up to this month?

He's gonna team up with Atrocious and they're gonna hit up New York. Glory will be had as Atrocious tries to hail a cab, as they venture down 5th avenue, and as they decide to find out what a subway station is.

I like this!!

 

[Hush]

Yeah that kinda creeped me out too Corp, almost more that Cow Thor.


Oh and this is Ethan Van Scivers current Facebook status:

Geoff Johns says he's seen ABSOLUTE GREEN LANTERN: REBIRTH, and it's beautiful! Where's my copy?

 

[BrianWilly]

Yeah I'm really going to miss Guy and Kyle's buddy cop road show. Guys especially has been the heart of Green Lantern Corps since its inception.

It's just not going to be the same with John. Let's hope Bedard can give him a, um...y'know, a personality.

Speaking of which, Bedard is writing REBELS still, yes? Crossovers commence T-minus...nowish?
