Another day goes by, another Green Lantern writer cranking out another interview. Green Lantern: New Guardians<\/em> writer Justin Jordan spoke with ComicVine a bit about the series. He speaks on meeting fan expectations, his view of Kyle Rayner, and more. Check below for highlights.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Justin Jordan on meeting Green Lantern fans expectations and limitations while starting his run:<\/p>\n I wouldn\u2019t say it limits my options a whole lot. I mean, it\u2019s kind of the nature of work-for-hire business. You can\u2019t have, generally speaking, Batman chuck Joker into a blender and set it to puree. You\u2019re always working within restrictions so this isn\u2019t real different. I was actually given relatively free rein to do what I wanted with the books, working it out with editorial and all that kind of stuff. The most daunting prospect is probably just coming onto a popular property in general. I mean, Green Lantern titles tend to have fans who are really, really into the books and that\u2019s a little daunting because you don\u2019t want to screw it up.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Jordan on what Kyle Rayner brings to the series:<\/p>\n He\u2019s bringing a different kind of perspective to Green Lantern \u2013 that\u2019s kind of been true from the beginning. They tried to go with someone who has an artistic background, who looked at things from a different point of view. You know, a fairly different mindset than someone like Hal Jordan who comes from a kind of military background. And that\u2019s still the case and we want to emphasize the idea that Kyle, just because of his role as a White Lantern and stuff, is sort of outside of the GL key structure. This means he can look at what the core as a whole is doing from a different perspective that somebody inside it just can\u2019t do. I think that\u2019s an interesting way to contrast and explore the other books.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n How difficult is it for Jordan to write White Lantern Kyle Rayner:<\/p>\n (laughs) Tricky. That\u2019s one of the things that kind of interests me about it and I kind of talked about this before when I was talking about Superboy because it kind of applies to superheroes across the board. That kind of power doesn\u2019t give you the ability to just fix things. My go to example is yeah, you can go to a world that\u2019s ruled by this cruel dictator and you take out the dictator\u2026 that doesn\u2019t change the world fundamentally. All the structures that are in place to allow that are still there. If you went to Apokolips and eliminated Darkseid, you\u2019ve still got the Hunger Dogs and all those problems are still there \u2013 you haven\u2019t magically turned it into a paradise. That\u2019s just not how things work and that\u2019s the same thing with raw power. Raw power isn\u2019t enough to necessarily make the changes you want to make. The trick with working with somebody like Kyle who has a lot of powers at his fingertips is presenting him with problems that that power just isn\u2019t enough for. Problems that make him have to think. That present ethical and moral kind of quandaries for him.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Will Arkillo (and the Yellow Lantern Corps) return to the series?<\/p>\n Maybe. I\u2019m not against it. I don\u2019t have any concrete plans for it in the issues I have sketched out right now. But I like those characters, so if I have an opportunity for those characters to come back and it actually makes sense then I am absolutely not against it.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n What about Green Lantern Soranik Natu?<\/p>\n Nope, not right now.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Four words that sum up Jordan’s plans for New Guardians<\/em>:<\/p>\n Bad-ass cosmic exploration.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Jordan would like to add Lobo to the cast:<\/p>\n Well, first of all I love Lobo and I\u2019d love a chance to write Lobo. And I think anyone that\u2019s read LUTHER STRODE knows I\u2019m clearly the guy for the job! Beyond that\u2026 kind of down and dirty visceral character contrasted with Kyle and contrasted with people in the core and the supporting cast. I don\u2019t know that he would work as a continuing cast member but at least for a few issues until somebody got sick of him or he got sick of Kyle. I think it would be interesting to bounce them off each other.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Another day goes by, another Green Lantern writer cranking out another interview.
