They\u2019ve bee indirectly involved in nearly destroying the universe multiple times in a relatively short span of time. That does not necessarily build trust with the beings they\u2019re supposed to be serving and protecting. And maybe the \u2018scary\u2019 Red Lanterns seem a little less scary and a little bit more on point with their whole \u201cDon\u2019t trust these guys\u201d thing.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Fialkov on finding the balance between light and dark:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The thing I\u2019m actually most obsessed with isn\u2019t so much dark and light, it\u2019s really gray. The space in between good and evil isn\u2019t actually that broad. And while when you look at the Green Lanterns Corps and the Red Lantern Corps, you see them in black and white terms, the truth is that Atrocitus is exacting what could be called biblical justice. They\u2019re not wrong about the Greens, their methodology is questionable, sure, but, they\u2019re not wrong.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>His plans for Atrocitus:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Both books are going to be mirrors of each other, so I want Red Lanterns to take on the same ensemble cast feel that GLC has. I think Milligan has done a terrific job of exploring Atrocitus, so, now, I want to focus on the rest of the Corps and move Atrocitus into the Guardian role.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The idea for me is that if you can read either book on it\u2019s own, and you\u2019ll understand and be able to enjoy them, but, if you\u2019re reading both books together, you get a broader more nuanced picture. That\u2019s the same for the whole line. Each book will stand on it\u2019s own, but, you\u2019ll be rewarded with added depth of story and character if you read all of them together.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Like Venditti before him, Joshua Fialkov talks with iFanboy about his upcoming run on Green Lantern Corps and Red Lanterns.
