And it&#8217;s been great. I loved working with my editors, with <a class=\"profileLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/brad.walker.773\" data-hovercard=\"\/ajax\/hovercard\/user.php?id=1142978810\">Brad Walker<\/a> and the rest of the artistic team. And I think we put out a good book.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>No book is ever perfect, but I think this is probably the most consistently good work for hire book that I&#8217;ve done. I&#8217;ve gotten to tell the stories I wanted to tell, the way I wanted to tell them. Their weaknesses are mine, and that&#8217;s not always the case for non creator owned books.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>And I enjoyed working with the Four (Eventually) Five Corpsmen, the writer of the various books. It&#8217;s been about a satisfying a working experience as I can imagine having.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to DC for letting me write the book and all the fans for reading it.<\/p>\n<p>(And no, I&#8217;m not saying what happens to the book after me. You folks are going to need to wait for that)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; In not so good news, Justin Jordan who has been the writer of Green Lantern: New Guardians since Tony Bedard left the series, is now leaving the series.
