Intersting. Good thing I'm back on board GL again.

I'm excited Green Lantern sounds intriguing, interesting and exciting! I can't wait for that.

Also New Guardians and Red Lanterns sound awesome too. So looks like I am dropping GLC and Getting Red Lanterns (Happy to see Benes is the artist on it.)

Well can't wait for Green Lantern in the DCNu! This is making it sound like the universe isn't really that much of a reboot like they have been saying.

So they traded Kyle for Guy then gave GLC back to Tomasi, and instead of calling it Emerald Warriors, they think New Guardians will sell better...or Kyle will be a "New Guardian". Not much of a relaunch here.

Is there still going to be a book revolving around the other corps?

I guess this confirms none of the GLs are dying in WotGL, right?

Glad its not a reboot.

Will obviously pickup the 1st issue of each. More interested in how they spinoff into Kyle being a New Guardian though.

I would expect New guardians to possibly include the other corps?

Geoff Johns talks Green Lantern Relaunch with Associated Press

Amid the change ahead for the heroes that make up DC Comics' universe, Green Lantern's ring will burn bright and emerald, the character's adventures guided by a familiar face.

Geoff Johns, the company's chief creative officer, will write the upcoming relaunch of "Green Lantern," part of a DC-wide effort that will see 52 new first issues enveloping all of its heroes from Superman to the Justice League to Hawkman, but he's promising a different take and tone for the long-time character.

"It's building off the Green Lantern stories I've done since 'Rebirth,'" he told The Associated Press about the series, which is set to start in September and features art by Doug Mahnke and Christian Alamy. "Taking it in a very new direction that we've never seen in 'Green Lantern' before."

"Green Lantern" isn't the only title planned, either. DC is also going to launch three other Green Lantern-related books, too, including "Green Lantern: The New Guardians," written by Tony Bedard and illustrated by Tyler Kirkham and Batt. That will feature Kyle Rayner leading the team. There will also be the "Red Lanterns," featuring Atrocitus and his fellow Red Lantern Corps members facing off against injustice and serving as judge, jury and executioners. The book is being written by Peter Milligan with art by Ed Benes and Rob Hunter.

A third book will also launch, too, "Green Lantern Corps." DC says that title, written by Peter J. Tomasi and illustrated by Fernando Pasarin and Scott Hanna, will see familiar Green Lanterns Guy Gardner and John Stewart as part of an elite strike force aimed at keeping the peace.

What role Hal Jordan will play in all of this, Johns won't say, but the longtime Green Lantern of Sector 2814 will be part of the new Justice League series that kicks of the DC-wide relaunch.

Johns kept details of his writing for the new series close to the vest, but said that if "I didn't think I had a great idea for Green Lantern, I wouldn't have relaunched the book. I would move on if I didn't think I had a great plan for it."

As for what will happen, Johns said he would strive to make the new series fresh but mindful of its historic roots to longtime fans and new readers, too, and stay true to the spirit of the Green Lantern Corps and its emotional content.

Some hints may come in the final issue of the current series, No. 57, which is due out later this month.

"'Green Lantern' 1 picks up a few months later in a very different space than we are now," Johns said. "When you see the cover you'll know exactly what I'm talking about."

So Hal will be in JL and this "new" Lantern for 2814 will be the focus of the GL book?

If that were the case, I would be extremly pissed, we have enough earth lanterns as it is.

At least the multi colored lanterns are getting their own book in GREEN LANTERN: THE NEW GUARDIANS instead of crowding up GREEN LANTERN.

What "new" lantern are you talking about?

[Lantern Murdock 2814 Green Lantern Find all posts View Profile Close Lantern Murdock 2814]

The "new" Lantern of 2814, which the WoGL said we would have.

Yup they're hiding something. Something I'm afraid that (might) piss off some-long time readers.

I am super glad to see all the Earth lanterns survive this though. I still for some reason think Kyle will not be a green lantern after the end of this war. I see him sticking with Blue for some reason and a new green lantern joins the corp and Kyle kind of helps mentor them in the New Guardians title
