    Check out the changes in the upcoming GL books!


    No Caption Provided


     If you're a DC fan and you are looking forward to the upcoming release of Brightest Day this April, then I imagine that you would want nothing more than to finish up the weekend on a high note, with some Green Lantern news! Just as the Blackest Night story arc touched on a variety of different titles, so will Brightest Day. But I am sure you all knew that already. Earlier today, DC revealed the upcoming creative teams that will be working on the GL books that are affected by the new story arc, including Green Lantern and Green Lantern Corps. According to the announcement, writer Tony Bedard ( R.E.B.E.L.S.) will be taking over the starting this spring and the book will revolve around GL's Kyle Rayner, John Stewart and Ganthet.  



    “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–!“


    If you read R.E.B.E.L.S. then you probably have a good idea of whether or not Bedard can do a good job taking over for Peter Tomasi who has a long resume at DC. However, don't think Tomasi is leaving the GL Corps just yet!  In addition to this announcement, DC also revealed that they will be launching a new title, Green Lantern: Emerald Warriors, which will be penned by Tomasi and penciled by artist Fernando Pasarin ( Justice Society of America) and will be highlighting the adventures of Guy Gardner. Could Brightest Day bring back Fire and Ice to this book? I guess we will have to see! Are you guys looking forward to this announcement? What do you think all the shifting within the GL books means? What is the bigger picture?

    3 books about the Green Lantern universe was inevitable based on the buzz for the franchise (event and movie). I always figured it'd be a "Tales of the Corps" third book as opposed to a Guy Gardner title. 
     
    I'm not disappointed at all - like that John's gonna get more page time - but wonder why Guy's gonna get his own title.  Ganthet as a lantern will be interesting...and overall, I love the creative teams: Bedard/Syaf and Tomasi/Pasarin.  
     
    It's a good time to be a Green Lantern fan.

    I could be wrong but given the character and his fan base I would think Kyle would have a better chance of holding down his own title than Guy.  Still pretty cool.

    This is awesome. I honestly feel like Guy deserves his own title as a GL (I love Guy) and I think that this is due to all his crazy going ons in Blackest Night. The only problem with this announcement is that it spoils the end of Blackest Night a bit. Oh well, I'm ready for it to be over anyways

    Thank God. Tomasi's GLC was lame. Bedard's R.E.B.E.L.S. is awesome. I'm looking forward to this.

    Interesting.  Guy is getting his own title again.  I take it Hal will be in the main Green Lantern title.  I'm hoping the other Lantern Corps won't be swept under the rug when Blackest Night and Brightest Day are over.

    A Guy centric story...I'm so there.Green Lantern really seems to be the best thing to draw in new readers.Also I love Rebels.
     
    I still wonder what will happen to the other Lantern Corps.

    Im hyped for Ganeth and Guy, but i have a feeling the story is going to run along the lines of JAson, Kyle, and Donna's countdown story. Lots of promise, but very little actual reward.
     we'll see though.

    I believe Hal's still on Green Lantern with the same creative team that has been on it recently (Johns/Mahnke).

    Fire and ice is something I would defiently look forward too from brightest day. As a green lantern fan this is too much for me to handle with green lantern getting the big stories since rebirth and so I am going to take a break after blackest night then come back for brightest day maybe.

    The series of GLC under Tomasi has been primarly a Guy Gardner centric series in recent months so it comes natural that he would want to keep the momentum. I think that it is a fair share, Johns has the seven leaders of the corps, Tomasi has Gardner (his favorite lantern) and Killowog (someone who he has expressed he has a lot of interest in) and Bedard has John (someone who needs spotlight) , Kyle (who if I'm not mistaken is also his favorite lantern) and Ganthet

    I guess my question is this... silly as it may sound if Ganthet is now going to be a green lantern honor guard, what happens to the Blue Lantern Corps?  Will Sayd run them or be their "Guardian". Hmmmmm?
