DeMatteis says the book will be &#8220;cosmic absurdity.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure class=\"thumbnail wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1024px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" \" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/i49.tinypic.com\/2rpfchs.jpg\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1365\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">GLTAS Producer Giancarlo Volpe &amp; Green Lantern Guy Gardner<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In less absurd news, co-writer of <em>The Flash<\/em> Brian Buccellato says that Barry Allen(The Flash) will meet Hal Jordan for the first time in the New52. The story, which will be in this years Flash Annual, will show &#8220;How they met, and why they like each other&#8221; I&#8217;ve always thought that Francis Manapul&#8217;s art would provide for a very great and unique lantern book. So I very much look forward to that.<\/p>\n<p><em>Earth 2<\/em> writer James Robinson once again teased his upcoming big event story <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/theGLcorps\/status\/317734189980082176\">saying it&#8217;ll be out early next year<\/a>. Robinson also said that\u00a0<em>Justice League<\/em> writer Geoff Johns, <em>Batman<\/em> writer Scott Snyder and DC&#8217;s Co-Publisher Dan DiDio were<a href=\"http:\/\/www.newsarama.com\/comics\/wondercon-dc-all-access-panel.html\"> all very involved with the event<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure class=\"thumbnail wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 768px\"><a href=\"http:\/\/t.co\/3pYSUpqnsG\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/i45.tinypic.com\/2a4wmra.jpg\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Green Lantern Simon Baz figure (photo via @ModernMythMedia)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/t.co\/bBzaRAkA33\">Christos Gage (<em>Avengers Academy<\/em>) and artist Iban Coello (<em>Superboy<\/em>) will be taking the reins of <em>Justice League Beyond<\/em><\/a>. In non comic news, DC Animation legend <a href=\"http:\/\/t.co\/QdE5q57fOC\">Bruce Timm stepped down as producer<\/a>, but <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SuperPRGuy\/status\/317816984895098881\">Warner Bros. says he&#8217;ll be back<\/a>. While in videogame news, <a href=\"http:\/\/t.co\/dpmUk38yGj\"><em>Injustice: Gods Among Us <\/em>will have a playable demo<\/a> available on April 2nd. The demo was actually available to play on the convention floor.<\/p>\n<p>Back to <em>Earth 2<\/em>, Robinson focused on Green Lantern Alan Scott for a bit. &#8220;Breaking [Alan Scott&#8217;s] heart at the start is just good drama.&#8221; In issue 12, the mystery of why Sam, Alan&#8217;s boyfriend, was killed leads into the arc about Wildcat. &#8220;His death leads into other storylines.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Then Robinson turned his attention to the costumes featured in E2. &#8220;I cared greatly about how they looked. I&#8217;ve been far from happy with Jay Garrick, but I think Alan Scott&#8217;s costume is quite good,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>Current <em>Green Lantern <\/em>artist <a href=\"http:\/\/www.comicvine.com\/videos\/doug-mahnke-is-still-finishing-up-his-last-green-l\/2300-2108\/\">Doug Mahnke spoke with ComicVine<\/a> about ending his run on the series after almost four years. He also teased his next project saying &#8220;What&#8217;s a vacation? If I&#8217;m lucky, I&#8217;ll get a tiny bit of downtime then I&#8217;ll go into my next project. I&#8217;ll continue to work with Geoff [Johns]. Not done there yet, no.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s about it. The next convention is C2E2 at the end of April.
