We all saw this coming, we just forgot it was coming during Forever Evil. The Green Lantern teased in Geoff Johns Green Lantern #20 is so close to being revealed! Here’s some of what Geoff said to IGN about her and Ivan Reis’ cover to Justice League #31. Spoilers below.

Geoff Johns: On the cover is Batman, Lex Luthor, Shazam, Cyborg, Aquaman, and Wonder Woman — our core Justice League team — and then the newest character to add to the DC Universe, the all-new Power Ring. She’ll be introduced post-Forever Evil as the Crime Syndicate’s Power Ring’s ring seeks out a new host and seeks out a very different kind of host for a very different kind of Lantern and chooses somebody, a brand new character we first hinted at her in Green Lantern #20, Jessica Cruz. She’ll become a pretty big player in the post-Forever Evil Justice League world. The Justice League aren’t the only super-team after her, for various reasons. I think it’s going to be a lot of fun when you see the character — and the continued interaction between Luthor and Batman — this brand new character is another wrench, along with Luthor and Cold, another wrench thrown into the mix of the Justice League team.

Geoff on the differences between Power Ring and Green Lantern bearers:

There’s a big difference between them. Obviously we saw Power Ring — can get a little over the top — but Harold Jordan from Earth-3 is a natural born coward. He was chosen by the ring because he’s easily manipulated and full of fear and the ring controls its host. It’s more of like a curse. We saw the ring affect Power Ring physically. With the Earth-3 Abin Sur, you can see what it did longterm when you wear the ring. The ring itself, it’s not all about willpower, it’s not channeling anything good. When you charge it, bad things happen. It charges in a very horrible way. All of that is going to befall a young woman we are going to introduce in the DC Universe who is going to be “chosen as the new lucky owner” of this ring.

 

I can say that the big differences are, when you boil it down, being chosen to be Green Lantern is a blessing, being chosen to be Power Ring is a curse.
