Since its launch in May, the all-new ongoing series EARTH 2 has started to build and expand upon its universe with lots of new and exciting elements: new characters, origins, settings, costumes, powers, etc. And for two special upcoming issues, add guest artist to that list.

“I’ve been reading this book as a fan since issue #1 and feel so honored to be able to be part (in some way) of the restructuring of the new Earth 2!” Cinar told THE SOURCE. “Besides that, this is going to be my first collaboration with James Robinson, so needless to say … there are good times ahead!”

Joshua Middleton Shows Off Oa Designs for Green Lantern: The Animated Series
One major problem from an art direction perspective, with GLAS and anything Green Lantern in general, is the overabundance of green. It can be difficult to come up with nice color palettes when everybody and everything in the scene is glowing green. Matters were not made better with the introduction of Red Lanterns, as we now had the world’s weirdest Christmas to deal with.
Anyway, I tried a few things with Oa. Some were just different times of day, others were different takes on the palette. I think we went with the greenest one.
