Oh at the very least, beware of knowing the potential future of <em>Green Lantern: New Guardians<\/em> as incoming writer Justin Jordan talks with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.comicbookresources.com\/?page=article&amp;id=44236\">CBR <\/a>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.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Jordan on the direction for the series:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>It&#8217;s pretty different. The title is a whole lot more literal, for one thing. It&#8217;s still a book about Kyle, but after what happens in &#8220;Wrath of the First Lantern,&#8221; 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&#8217;s been given.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>When asked if Larfleeze, Carol Ferris, Saint Walker, Arkillo, etc. will remain part of the New Guardians team:<b> <\/b><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>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.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Jordan praises GLNG and current <em>Action Comics<\/em> artist Brad Walker<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>I love Brad&#8217;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&#8217;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.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>On the difficulties of crossing over with other Lantern titles:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Team 7&#8221; 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&#8217;re friends with is handy.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Matt and Chris, the editors, are also making a very strong effort to make sure we&#8217;re all on the same page. The books don&#8217;t cross over constantly, but when they do, we want to make sure we have our ducks in a row. Uh, space ducks.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Beware of spoilers.
