Rejected Designs for New Green Lantern Villain Relic
Writer Robert Venditti (and presumably Green Lantern: New Guardians writer Justin Jordan) are getting set to debut new a Green Lantern villain named Relic.

‘Earth 2’ Writer James Robinson Announces Departure From DC Comics
Well this is unexpected. Writer James Robinson announced Friday that he’s leaving ongoing New 52 series Earth 2 — and DC Comics — with September’s issue #16. “So as of today I am leaving Earth 2 with Issue #16. It’s been a blast,” Robinson tweeted. In a follow-up, he wrote, “Yes, this also means I’m no longer working at DC Comics. Best wishes and regards to Dan, Geoff and everyone.”
James was a man full of ideas and I’ll miss that in DC Comics stable. Sure not every idea is a homerun, but Robinson has a career full of those and a few triples too. Enough baseball references, now to place odds on who will replace him on E2.

So it should come as no surprise that during a night in his honor, Morrison decides to drop more nuggets about that legacy issue, right? Surprise! Read what Morrison had to say about his superhero epic for DC.
