Beware of spoilers. Oh at the very least, beware of knowing the potential future of Green Lantern: New Guardians as incoming writer Justin Jordan talks with CBR about the series. From direction to Kyle Rayner to Larfleeze, he has a few things to say in anticipation for the June start. Check out a few quotes below.

 

Jordan on the direction for the series:

It’s pretty different. The title is a whole lot more literal, for one thing. It’s still a book about Kyle, but after what happens in “Wrath of the First Lantern,” his role in the universe changes. The book is about him trying to figure out exactly what he should be doing with the power he’s been given.

 

When asked if Larfleeze, Carol Ferris, Saint Walker, Arkillo, etc. will remain part of the New Guardians team:

Well, one of those people is definitely in the book. Without revealing too much, I can say that the cast is going to change quite a bit in the new run.

Jordan praises GLNG and current Action Comics artist Brad Walker

I love Brad’s stuff. I want to do a book that is bigger and wilder and weirder, and I think Brad is the right guy for the job. He’s also got, and this is way more underrated than it should be, great storytelling skills. I remain hopeful he can wrangle whatever near gibberish I write into a coherent story.

On the difficulties of crossing over with other Lantern titles:

“Team 7” had to coordinate with a bunch of other books as well, so I at least have that experience going for me. I have a pretty big advantage here in that I know Rob [Venditti] and Josh [Fialkov] personally, and knew them before we all got this gig, so being able to actually talk to people you’re friends with is handy.

 

Matt and Chris, the editors, are also making a very strong effort to make sure we’re all on the same page. The books don’t cross over constantly, but when they do, we want to make sure we have our ducks in a row. Uh, space ducks.
