Milligan spoke about his homage to the infamous one-punch Batman so famously delivered to the kisser of Guy Gardner in “Justice League” #5 (1987) and why it was important in his effort to drive home the absurdity of a superhuman killing machine like Midnighter facing off against Dex-Starr, an equally ruthless red ring-powered cat.

We’ve been hit with plenty of news about Green Lantern: The Animated Series since it was first announced, but since then most new information has come from one source. One man actually. Series Producer Giancarlo Volpe is the one man marketing machine for GL:TAS. Fortunately, he has a twitter where he constantly interacts with fans of the show. It is there that some of the following news tidbits are from. So if you’re on twitter go thank him. And follow us while you’re at it. On with the news!
@hawkingbyrd In our continuity, Sinestro had not yet founded the Sinestro Corps 🙂

John Stewart just can’t catch a break, can he? In the second chapter of Alpha War, John goes on trial for murder while those nefarious Guardians continue their plot to create a Third Army. Written by Peter Tomasi with art from Fernando Pasarin, Green Lantern Corps #10 will be on sale Wednesday. Check the preview at IGN now!
DC Comics recently unveiled their September solicitations for all their titles. More importantly to you, that includes the four (five including GL:TAS!) Green Lantern titles. One of the more notable sightings on Septembers solicits was the new costume for Carol Ferris, which you can sorta kinda see above. You know Carol Ferris right? The woman who’s been making ridiculous decisions lately? The woman who apparently feels the need to throw her ring back on even after telling Hal off for the last 4 years about how bad they are? I thought that would ring a bell. Well, good news and bad news for you. Those who love cheesecake comics and half-naked drawings of Carol, you don’t get that anymore. The new costume is covered from the neck down. So for those of you who are finally glad to see a woman stay clothed in a superhero comic, you can finally rejoice. You have Teen Titans artist Brett Booth to thank for that, who “made it a point to cover her from head to toe!”
Third times the charm for Hal and Kilowog as DC Comics comes through with a preview issue #3 of Green Lantern: The Animated Series!
Yesterday DC Comics released their solicitations for the month of September and there are some very interesting things there. Especially for us lantern fans. From new Green Lanterns to new origins to new teams and even new costumes. It’s a month where DC Comics wants to look back with their Zero issues but still progress the stories they are currently telling. September also happens to be the month where Geoff Johns and the rest of the lantern creators start to ramp up to the THIRD ARMY event. Below, I’ll take a look at the most interesting things about this month’s solicitations and what it could mean for the future of Green Lantern.
Not a good month for lantern comics. Nope. May was not nice this section of the DC Universe. Probably because Batman and those fighting heroes over at the house Mickey built are running rampant all over the top ten. Though, when 3 of the top 11 books are starring a Green Lantern, how bad can things really be?
