Rumor: Ethan Van Sciver Taking Over Green Lantern & 3 More Rebirth Books?


Posted in: Ringside News

 

So Myron over at BoA, says he spoke to current (but departing) Green Lantern Corps: Edge of Oblivion artist Ethan Van Sciver about his future plans. Relevance? Well beyond being one of the highest profile artist to ever grace a lantern interior EVS may be on a lantern title during the DC Rebirth! This is listed as a rumor for now, because its unlikely that we’ll get a response from EVS thanks to DC’s plans still being so secretive and well, creators say a bunch of garbage at conventions sometimes. Hahaha. Read on for the rumor that totally wasn’t spoiled in the headline!

“Justice League – Part 1” Starts Filming in April


Posted in: Movie

 

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.

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.

REVIEW: Sinestro #20


Posted in: Reviews

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.

REVIEW: Sinestro #19


Posted in: Reviews

 

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.
