Before the flurry of changes to the Green Lantern Corps and Red Lanterns titles yesterday, IGN spoke with the new head honcho of Green Lantern, writer Robert Venditti. He spoke on the next logical step for the series, Hal Jordan and big plans for September. As I said before, this interview was conducted before Joshua Hale Fialkov stepped away from the lantern books.
The news just keeps on coming. Earlier today, Joshua Hale Fialkov stepped away from writing GLC and Red Lanterns. Now, courtesy of DC Entertainment’s Executive Director of Publicity, we now know who will be replacing him on both books.
We were looking for love in all the wrong places. Well, we were looking for creative changes in the wrong places. Current Action Comics artist Rags Morales is coming to Green Lantern for a guest stint for issue 24, but its Green Lantern Corps and Red Lanterns that will be seeing a more permanent shakeup. Writer Joshua Hale Fialkov will be leaving both titles before any issue even ships.
The new Justice League of America team continues to form in issue #2. Check out the preview below:
UPDATE: Rags Morales has indeed confirmed that he’s on Green Lantern #24, and ONLY that issue via his Facebook. And yes, those six fingers are apparently intentional, as Rags says this is a glimpse of a completely new character.
