This week we received DC Comics solicitations for April, and glaringly absent was Green Lantern: The Animated Series. Fans started to panic, assuming the series was canceled. That would not be surprising, as another young audience marketed DC series Superman Family Adventures was given its last solicit. Fortunately, we reached out to DC and they promptly reassured us that GLTAS would continue…on a new release schedule.
Looking to our GLTAS countdown, it says we have 13hrs until the next episode hits the screen. Thankfully to help fill that void, the one man hype machine(and follower of TheGLCorps on twitter!), Giancarlo Volpe, has decided to dish out some more tidbits about the show. Yes, that includes the headline you read above that Hellboy and Sons of Anarchy actor Ron Perlman will voice Sinestro on the show. Read below for some choice quotes from part one of the article. Potential spoilers below.
