It seems like a bad time to move away from the books with the movie coming out.

The film owes itself largely to Johns' success with Green Lantern and it would be a sad irony if he leaves just as it comes out.Darth Fanboy wrote:It seems like a bad time to move away from the books with the movie coming out.
And I do not envy whoever would take over if he left.
Either way, we'll hopefully know before the end of next month.

Re: "War of the Green Lanterns" Talkback (Spoilers)
It wouldn't be bad if some of the recently alluded to events were held back and revealed in the future, but the Larfleeze/Sayd thing really should be tied up.
Did Hector Hammond show up in Brightest Day around the time the Star Sapphires took on Hawkworld?

Larfleeze could find his family and make them Orange Lanterns...heheh

Re: "War of the Green Lanterns" Talkback (Spoilers)
Johns has wrapped up most of his ongoing threads. The only major ones at present are Larfleeze's family, Indigo-1's backstory, and the whereabouts of Sayd and Hammond. Which leads us into...Darth Fanboy wrote:It wouldn't be bad if some of the recently alluded to events were held back and revealed in the future, but the Larfleeze/Sayd thing really should be tied up.
We haven't seen him since he blasted off of Earth during "New Guardians" -- and it is strange that Hammond didn't show up on Zamaron in the middle of Hawkworld's attack.Darth Fanboy wrote:Did Hector Hammond show up in Brightest Day around the time the Star Sapphires took on Hawkworld?
Considering Ophidian was without a host when the crossover began, it makes you wonder if Krona back stabbed his 'ally'. I do doubt, though, that Johns will kill Hammond this close to the movie.
Then again, Greg Rucka killed Ra's al Ghul just before Batman Begins came out, so you never know.
Heh, probably.Darth Fanboy wrote:Larfleeze could find his family and make them Orange Lanterns...heheh
Re: "War of the Green Lanterns" Talkback (Spoilers)
So, even with the reboot of the entire DC line-up, it's confirmed that Johns will remain on GL and that the saga will remain ongoing.
So, these threads will be addressed - we hope -- and the Red Lantern book will likely be solicited for September.
Even with Paul Cornell writing, I'm still not sure if I'll pick it up, though.

Re: "War of the Green Lanterns" Talkback (Spoilers)
We now have confirmation on the post-Flashpoint lineup for GL in September:
* Green Lantern: Johns and Mahnke will remain on board and the series will still focus on Hal. Not details yet.
* Green Lantern Corps: Tomasi is back on GLC along with his Green Lantern: Emerald Warriors collaborator Fernando Pasarin. The series will star John and Guy as leaders of new a Lantern strike force.
* Green Lantern - The New Guardians: Will take the place of GLEW. Current GLC team Bedard and Kirkham will chronicle Kyle's adventures as leader of a new alliance between the Corps.
* Red Lanterns: Launching as planned with Paul Cornell and Ed Benes.

Re: "War of the Green Lanterns" Talkback (Spoilers)
We also now have our first look a the lineup for Green Lantern: New Guardians and it's interesting...
Spoiler
I hate Ed Benes, but it's a nice homage to Ivan Reis' Hal and Sinestro covers from 2007.
Also it's Pete Milligan as the writer, not Paul Cornell. I've loved Milligan's Hellblazer run, so I am curious to see his take on Atrocitus.
Spoiler
Cover's also up for Red Lanterns.

OK, never mind. That's just my poor memory, then.

Re: "War of the Green Lanterns" Talkback (Spoilers)
Yeah, I'm not happy about it either.
According to Didio, the delays are due to the creative talent being spread thin on the relaunch.

Re: "War of the Green Lanterns" Talkback (Spoilers)
That was the ending? It seemed kind of anti climatic that Hal somehow reached into deeper reserves and managed to seemingly kill Krona.
As for Hal being stripped of being a Green Lantern. Hasn't this sort of happened before in Ron Marz's run and also in the aftermath when Hal tried to get the power ring of Kyle Rayner? And Sinestro is back in the GL corps. Interesting. However what I dearly want to know is what ultimately happens to the other corps, since by Lo3W only Sodam Yat appears to be left.
