GREEN LANTERN Begins Again

This week marks an Emerald Dawn for the Green Lantern family of books with new blood, new creative teams and new threats!

It all kicks off in the flagship book out this week:

A new beginning for Hal Jordan begins in Green Lantern #21 by new creative team: Robert Venditti and Billy Tan.

Jordan is now the leader of the Green Lantern Corps! How will the hero lead the most hated and feared group in the universe?

Plus, a new villain is on the way – the Relic!

Venditti tells MTV GEEK, he’ll “tie together every Lantern of every color that has ever appeared in any comic book ever.”

Green Lantern #21 arrives this week with new creative teams on all the GL books coming later this month!

It’s thrilling to see Billy Tan back on a monthly book and I’m eager to his take on more of the Green Lantern Corps!

Arabic Green Lantern?

A new Green Lantern from the Middle East? DC Comics revealed the cover to Green Lantern #0 by Geoff Johns and Doug Manke scheduled for September. After seeing the writing on the hero’s arm on the cover I did some searching and I think this Comic Book Resources post does a good job wrapping up the potential for this character.

What does this mean for Hal Jordan and Sinestro? For the one year anniversary of The New 52 DC is numbering all titles zero and will be stand-alone stories.

This moves follows the reintroduction of Alan Scott as a gay man and Green Lantern of Earth 2 and continues DC’s commitment to add more diversity. Given this is a stand-alone story it may be a test to see if this character could receive his own title or be part of the Green Lantern Corps.

I think this may be the first time a Muslim character has been introduced since Dust in Grant Morrison’s New X-Men era.
