Writer and former editor Peter J. Tomasi visited the CBR Tiki Room during New York Comic Con 2012 and spoke about his upcoming work on DC’s New 52 including “Batman and Robin” and “Green Lantern Corps,” with CBR.
On the pressure of participating in both “The Third Army” and “Death of the Family”: “It’s been smooth, honestly. I’ve been doing this for so long, it’s kind of second nature. When you’re on the editor’s side of it, you’ve got to take a specific mindset when you approach it. When you’re on the writer’s side of it, it’s not like you throw away that hat. You still have that hat. It helps you and grounds you and you’re able to navigate all the stuff that can pop up kind of smoothly. It allows you to just focus and get the meat of the story and the characters. Honestly, working with the people I’m working with on all this stuff — Geoff [Johns] and Scott [Snyder] and all the other guys, Pat Gleason and Fernado Pessarin — Pat and Fernando to me are two of the most under-rated artists right now in comics. It’s my pleasure to be working with guys like that.”

This winter, it’s not safe to go in the water.
Back in September, DC Entertainment announced “Throne of Atlantis,” a crossover of epic proportions that will be spanning across the pages of JUSTICE LEAGUE and AQUAMAN. In it, the Justice League will face off against the underwater kingdom of Atlantis – and the ripples of its consequences will be felt across the ever-evolving DC Universe.
While Green Lantern Hal Jordan is no longer apart of the League, we cannot deny anything that the team does isn’t big news. With both Justice League and Aquaman #15 hitting shelves on December 26, below you’ll find a first look at this crossover in the form of some of artists Ivan Reis and Joe Prado’s penciled interior art for JUSTICE LEAGUE #15. Courtesy of DC Entertainment of course.
This marks the third year for what’s become known as Comics for Tots. I offer up signed comics in exchange for donations to Toys for Tots. All the money collected (after shipping costs) is spent on toys donated to the Toys for Tots drive. Last year’s drive resulted in donations of more than $500.
Yes, there are many worthy causes that need donation, especially at this time of year. I chose Toys for Tots because my own childhood memories of Christmas are so fondly held, that I hope in some small way, this effort helps make magical memories for those who might not otherwise have them.
We have a couple of unique sketched/signed items this year that are still being prepared, but I can tell you they include artwork by Darryl Banks and Dan Jurgens. I’ll post an update as soon as they’re ready, and then set up an auction (likely on Twitter) to maximize the donation. Check back for updates soon.

Well read some quotes from writer Tony Bedard on the future of Kyle Rayner and his involvement in the “Wrath of the First Lantern” crossover. Check out those and the preview below.
So what was that? Two days. Two days for a wild rumor to be debunked. That’s probably a DC Entertainment record. For those late to the show, let me recap. Cosmic Book News dropped a bunch of script details, new cast members and new characters for “Green Lantern 2”. Like most of the internet, I was intrigued but again like most of the internet, I was hugely skeptical. So thankfully, “Green Lantern” screenwriter Marc Guggenheim has cleared up the situation promptly. Here’s the short and oh so sweet quote below courtesy of ComicBook.com:
“Absolute Bullshit”
Guggenheim offered no other comment. So sorry fanterns, a Green Lantern movie sequel is still a no-go.
