There’s always been a strong connection between the Green Lantern Universe and the alien technology that powers the armor worn by Blue Beetle. And now, the New 52 will experience that connection for the first time as Green Lantern: New Guardians crosses over with Blue Beetle next month.

In the #9 issues of both titles, the members of the New Guardians team will encounter Blue Beetle in New York City — and at the same time, the Reach will become a problem for the Blue Lantern planet of Odym. Newsarama talked to the writer of both to find out more.

We mention this guy often, because he does more promotion for Green Lantern: The Animated Series than Cartoon Network. I’m not referring to myself, although that is also true, but none other than GL:TAS producer Giancarlo Volpe. During the Emerald City Comicon weekend he released some thumbnails from the series that provided an interesting and often unseen look at the animation process. This time around he releases some thumbnails for the episode “Into the Abyss”. Check some out below and more at his tumblr.
