Enter March Madness! Enter Martin Coccolo! A different artist comes along as we deal with the repercussions of the big battle against The Paling. Is that a good thing? Is the cover a reflection of the inside or better yet a reflection of all the things I do not enjoy about this series? So many questions to be answers in this month’s review of Sinestro! Lets start answering some shall we? Hit the jump!
Entertainment Weekly spoke with Warner Bros. President of Creative Development Greg Silverman and Producer Charles Roven about Green Lantern and how he won’t be in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. He even admits that the 2011 film wasn’t good and well, take a look at the quotes below. Silverman wants us lantern fans to be patient.
Filming will take place in southeast London on April 11th, at the Warner Bros. Leavesden studios, as well as in Iceland. Entertainment Weekly got the scoop and a quote from director Zack Snyder.
“The idea that we could begin to boot up a Justice League concept was a cool thing. It was a little bit of an ‘about time’ moment, and I don’t blame [the studio] for feeling that way, because it’s a long time coming, but I do feel like it’s a little bit of a creative hurdle. It seems like an easy thing to do at first glance, the idea that, ‘Oh, we just get the rest of the superheroes in there.’ But you have to [establish] a world where they can exist.”
BREAKING NEWS! As the title says, the DC Universe is getting a major Rebirth. On May 25th, we’ll be getting DC Universe: Rebirth,an 80 page one shot issue written by Geoff Johns. Following that? June will feature 8 Rebirth special issues including Green Lanterns: Rebirth #1. That’s not all, not by a long shot, in June some of those 8 special issues will kick off bimonthly releases (Aquaman, Batman, The Flash, Wonder Woman, Green Lanterns, Green Arrow, Superman)!
When July hits, we’ll be hit with more special issues. I should probably mention that one of those books is Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps. That book will also be shipping twice a month. Check the breakdown of all the titles announced below courtesy of CBR.
The Fall of Sinestro! Twenty issues is quite a feat in this weird transitional “feed them more #1 issues” comics world we live in. So, I’ll start by congratulating the creative team and the editorial staff on getting this far. I’m pretty sure my expectations for how long this book would last were pretty low, as was my expectations for this particular issue. Spoiler alert: You’re about to read a review about Sinestro vs The Pale Bishop.
The Rebirth draws closer but before then, there are comics to be read! Here’s a glimpse at the lantern related books coming in May. Including the finale of Omega Men!

How far will Hal go to resolve this conflict? |
Straight from DC Comics:
There’s a new DC Animated Series on the way… and this one’s all about the action. Justice League Action is a brand new, quarter-hour series from Warner Bros. Animation that will be coming soon to Cartoon Network.
Last night (January 19th), DC Entertainment’s Chief Creative Officer and former Green Lantern writer Geoff Johns appeared on the CW Network to discuss the upcoming DC films and characters. Alongside super geek and film director Kevin Smith, Johns teased the recently announced Green Lantern Corps movie while showing off some comic work (that we’ve seen before) from Doug Mahnke, Ivan Reis and Jim Lee among others. The entire television special is available online at the CW (which is filled with Batman v Superman and Wonder Woman clips), but check below for the Green Lantern related bit.
Will issue #19 be the same old story for Sinestro and crew? Did Cullen Bunn surprise me as we near the (potential) end of the Paling threat? Can you tell that the best way for teasing a review is to ask questions you already know the answer to? Great. Find out what I thought about all that stuff and more below and don’t be surprised because you’re better than that.
Looks like there are no fools at DC Comics come April! Based on the info below, it’ll be John Romita Jr. Variant Cover month and that’s awesome. We’ll also get the start of a two part story that will kick off the next Hal Jordan adventure, the continued efforts of Tom Taylor and Ethan Van Sciver to return the GLC to glory and life. Not to mention a new Sinestro Corps LEADER?! So, I have to ask… what more could you want from April huh?
