With its dripping, green-on-black cover, it’s clear that something ominous is going on in Green Lantern Annual #1, out this week from DC Comics. When I spoke with artist Ethan Van Sciver about the book by e-mail, he said that his latest collaboration with Geoff Johns represented something of an ending (and new beginning) for this particular part of the DCU. You know how these things go–the Flash: Rebirth and Green Lantern: Rebirth artist couldn’t give away the plot of this week’s 48-page annual, but he was able to give MTV a little insight into how the book will lead into October’s crossover, “The Rise of the Third Army.”
