Both WonderCon and Emerald City Comicon are both over and we’re on to the next one. Next up is this weekend’s C2E2 in Chicago. We’ll be there covering as much as possible, and you can check our live coverage via twitter. Head over to DC Comics’ to see their premiere panels and read below for Green Lantern related panels. From the usual DC All Access panels to GL: TAS comic creative team panel to talent scouting, its all here.
In the five years that the Justice League has been a team, Green Arrow has never once been a member. And he intends to rectify that right here, right now! One member against his candidacy: Aquaman! Plus, in “The Curse of Shazam” part 2, Billy arrives in his new foster home just as an ancient evil is uncovered halfway across the world. Preview the issue here!
There’s always been a strong connection between the Green Lantern Universe and the alien technology that powers the armor worn by Blue Beetle. And now, the New 52 will experience that connection for the first time as Green Lantern: New Guardians crosses over with Blue Beetle next month.
In the #9 issues of both titles, the members of the New Guardians team will encounter Blue Beetle in New York City — and at the same time, the Reach will become a problem for the Blue Lantern planet of Odym. Newsarama talked to the writer of both to find out more.
It’s the first issue of the monthly series inspired by the new Cartoon Network series!
In GREEN LANTERN: THE ANIMATED SERIES #1, Hal Jordan and Kilowog have captured a Red Lantern and are en route to bring him to the Guardians. But when the Interceptor is invaded by an undetectable threat, it’ll be up to Hal to outsmart their attackers while Kilowog battles shadows of his past. Written by Eisner Award-winners Art Baltazar and Franco (TINY TITANS) and illustrated by Dario Brizuela, GREEN LANTERN: THE ANIMATED SERIES #1 is on sale today. Click here to see an exclusive preview of the issue.
IGN talked with Robinson about his approach to Earth 2, potential crossovers with the main DC Universe, and a lot more. Earth 2 #1 launches on May 2.
How was your March lantern fans? Was it better than DC Comics’ sales? March 2012 saw the return of Marvel Comics in the top 10 comics sold sales chart. Diamond has released the Top 100 comics sold and “The House of Mouse” took the top two spots and #5 as well. Justice League #7 slipped to #3, while Green Lantern #7 came in at #7, two lower than last month.
We mention this guy often, because he does more promotion for Green Lantern: The Animated Series than Cartoon Network. I’m not referring to myself, although that is also true, but none other than GL:TAS producer Giancarlo Volpe. During the Emerald City Comicon weekend he released some thumbnails from the series that provided an interesting and often unseen look at the animation process. This time around he releases some thumbnails for the episode “Into the Abyss”. Check some out below and more at his tumblr.
