“I’ve always been fascinated by space—the adventures, the exploration and taking the human story and pitting it against the unknown. Since I was a kid, Green Lantern has always resonated with me, but it was Kyle’s story that hit a major chord with me. I love how relatable he is, but he’s still driven by nobility and courage. He faces all those things I love about space with a set of eyes that feel like my own.”–Michael Moreci Press Release
San Diego, CA (July 22, 2016) – IDW Publishing and DC Entertainment will continue their successful editorial mash-ups and bring fans two new comic book crossovers based on some of their most popular properties, including a sequel to the smash-hit co-publishing venture Star Trek/Green Lantern and an all new crossover with animation-inspired versions of Batman and Nickelodeon’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. “We’re very happy to extend our ongoing relationship with DC with these iconic characters in new storylines,” says Greg Goldstein, President and COO of IDW Publishing. “Fans who enjoyed the previous series will enjoy the fun, new adventures we have in store for these upcoming titles.” Captain Kirk and the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise will once again cross paths with the Green Lantern Corps in a sequel to last year’s Star Trek/Green Lantern series. The creative team of Mike Johnson and Angel Hernandez will reteam for another epic space opera, this one picking up the new status quo where it left off and introducing additional cosmic heroes and villains familiar to fans of both series. This series is slated for a winter 2016 launch. Following the recent success of Batman/TMNT, IDW, DC, and Nickelodeon are also happy to announce another pairing between the Caped Crusader and the Ninja Turtles: Batman/TMNT Adventures, coming this November. Based on the animated versions of both series, this storyline for fans of all ages will bring the Dark Knight of the beloved Batman: The Animated Series in contact with Nickelodeon’s animated Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. The dynamic duo of writer Matthew K. Manning (Beware the Batman) and artist Jon Sommariva (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Amazing Adventures) will team on the series. “The previous Star Trek/Green Lantern and Batman/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles crossovers were a huge hit with fans of each of the characters,” said Hank Kanalz, DC SVP of Editorial Strategy and Administration. “Bringing these characters back again, and expanding Batman and the Turtles to the realm where they’re most recognized by comic fans and fans of the TV series will make for a great story that any fan can’t wait to read.” “It’s always a blast to pair up beloved characters in comic series, and our recent pairings with DC have been especially satisfying on a creative level and in regards to fan satisfaction, too,” said Chris Ryall, IDW’s Chief Creative Officer. “Being able to bring Ciro Nieli’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles to the amazing animated Gotham envisioned by Bruce Timm and Eric Radomski is a major bonus.” Stay tuned for more upcoming news regarding these massively popular pairings from two of today’s most premier comic book publishers. ™ & ©2016 CBS Studios Inc.

DC Comics Rebirth catalog hits comic shops tomorrow and few Green Lantern tidbits have hit a day early namely hints at the direction of the story line. Check them out below via Newsarama.
Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman comprise the big guns of the Justice League, but some of the other members have some major changes coming their way in Rebirth as well. For example, rookie Green Lanterns Jessica Cruz and Simon Baz will have to deal with a "rogue Guardian" in their new series. "The Guardians created the most powerful weapon in the DC Universe-the Green Lantern ring," said Green Lanterns writer Sam Humphries. "But a rogue Guardian also created something more powerful and more unpredictable."
DC will then release 32 ongoing titles, 17 twice monthly titles and 15 monthly with a lower price point of $2.99 (something DC has done before). DC will make more announcements at WonderCon in March. The Green Lantern related titles will include GREEN LANTERNS REBIRTH #1, GREEN LANTERNS #1 (in June), HAL JORDAN & THE GREEN LANTERN CORPS REBIRTH #1, and HAL JORDAN & THE GREEN LANTERN CORPS #1 (in July) both being twice monthly titles.
This points to the fact we are most likely in for some changes in the Green Lantern Universe. When you look at the titles Green Lanterns sound like it will focus on more then one Green Lantern but being it doesn't have Corps in the name could mean it focuses on the earth Green Lanterns minus Hal possibly, the other title Hal Jordan & The Green Lantern Corps would sound like it would be Hal and the rest of the Corps possibly in space, although all of this is speculation. There are question marks with the Rebirth, Sinestro appears to be cancelled so what is going to happen to him and the other color Corps, also Omega Men ends does this mean Kyle will be back in the fold with the other GL's. There is also a group shot in the Johns video that appears to have a Green Lantern (Jade or Jessica Cruz?) in it, our friends at the Blog Of Oa speculate this is the new Titans line-up (once again have a GL in it). Only time will tell with this what the details are which we will post as we get word. We also invite you to check out our friends at the Blog Of Oa's opinion on the Rebirth announcement here.
Tom Taylor announced at NYCC the new Green Lantern miniseries "Edge of Oblivion" that will feature Ethan Van Sciver on art, a fact that will surely please a lot of GL fans.
Also revealed was the variant cover by Ivan Reis, another GL fan favorite (above). Edge Of Oblivion will be six issues and will pick up after Lost Army. As pointed out by The Blog Of Oa it is unsure whether Cullen Bunn will have any input into the series since it seems to being continuing what he started in Lost Army. No word on release date but most likely it will be the beginning of 2016. Ethan Van Sciver posted the teaser pic of the interior art at right, and check out Tom Taylor's NYCC interview from Comicvine below. |
