Last week, lantern fans got a small taste of fear. This week provides new episode details, two video clips, and a collection of images from Cartoon Network from the upcoming all-new Green Lantern: The Animated Series episode “…In Love and War.” The new Green Lantern: The Animated Series episode is scheduled to air at 10:00am (ET/PT) on Saturday, April 28th, 2012 as part of the new DC Nation programming block on Cartoon Network.
So if recent rumors and reports are to be believed, DC Comics will soon publish Zero Issues during the month of September. Supposedly covering “stuff that happened before issue #1. Year Ones, flashbacks, origins.” We all know that the lantern titles were generally unchanged from the Flashpoint effect on continuity also known as The New52. So with that in mind, the four lantern books have an opportunity that most series don’t, a chance to run wild with a brand new story that adds depth to what is currently happening. Below, you’ll find loose ideas for what I’d love for Geoff Johns, Peter Tomasi, Tony Bedard and Peter Milligan to accomplish with each Zero issue.

CBR News spoke with the popular artist and discovered the creative forces are ready to explode on the pages of “Earth 2” as Scott and DC Comics share insight into the series.
The DC Universe Animated Original Movie line – the home video line co-produced between Warner Premiere, Warner Bros. Home Entertainment Group, DC Entertainment and Warner Bros. Animation – has been renamed as part of the ongoing brand overhaul by DC Entertainment and DC Comics. Beginning with the June 2012 Superman Versus The Elite animated feature, upcoming installments of the popular movie line will now fall under the name DC Comics Premiere Movie.
The Green Lantern Corps Cast Episode 114
TheGreenLanternCorps.com proudly presents The Green Lantern Corps Cast, a podcast focusing on all things Green Lantern! The gang is back and they dive into Green Lantern politics as once again the Green Lantern/Sinestro Corps truce plays a big role in the story. Does John Stewart lying to a family make him an unforgivable person or is it the right call in the right situation? In New Guardians, they debate wonder if Tony Bedard is referencing Grant Morrison’s JLA run. Kyle Rayner does something a superhero has never done before and will probably never do again. More debate as the cast wonder just what Larfleeze’s role in the future of Green Lantern comics. Plus, Bleez is back, Sayd might be evil and they review 3 episodes of Green Lantern: The Animated Series. It’s a jam packed (and slightly late) episode so tune in for all that and so much more on this episode of CorpsCast.
Featuring opening and ending themes from Kirby Krackle (http://www.kirbykracklemusic.com/) and The Roy Clark Method (http://www.freewebs.com/royclarkmethod/).
Okay, let’s stop and take a breath here because shit is going down. Ready? Good. Let’s recap first by stating that this previous weekend was the C2E2 convention where Geoff Johns announced that former Green Lantern artist and frequent collaborator Ethan Van Sciver would be working on the upcoming Green Lantern Annual. Later in the week, Ethan Van Sciver announced his departure from his current gig as co-writer/co-artist of The Fury of Firestorm so he could “draw some GREEN LANTERN and finish this ogn that I’ve been working on.” Whatever you do, don’t forget that last bit.
New episode video clips and a bunch of images have been provided by Cartoon Network from the upcoming all-new Green Lantern: The Animated Series episode “Fear Itself” The new Green Lantern: The Animated Series episode is scheduled to air at 10:00am (ET/PT) on Saturday, April 21st, 2012 as part of the DC Nation programming block on Cartoon Network. Speaking of DC Nation, head over to CBR to view the latest from them if you’re too impatient for this weekend.
If you read the C2E2 recap, then you know former Green Lantern artist, and not so current Firestorm writer Ethan Van Sciver is returning to lantern mythos. Ethan will be drawing an undisclosed amount of pages for the Green Lantern Annual set to release sometime this year. Below, you can check out a view of Ethan’s pencils which feature Green Lantern John Stewart and a certain boy scout. Enjoy.
At the close of his first arc on DC Comics’ relaunched “Green Lantern Corps,” fan-favorite writer Peter J. Tomasi (“Batman and Robin”) killed off a Green Lantern using John Stewart as his weapon of choice.
Always candid, Tomasi told CBR News that he wishes he would have developed Kirrt more fully within the panels of the opening arc but nonetheless feels the character’s death was important to fleshing out John Stewart, Guy Gardner and the rest of the Corps as the role of the DCU’s intergalactic police force becomes more clearly defined within the New 52.
Tomasi also teased what’s to come in the months ahead from him and the rest of the title’s creative team: artist Fernando Pasarin, inker Scott Hanna and colorist Gabe Eltaeb.
