Geoff Johns Off Green Lantern!

[MikeandRaph87]

Geoff Johns revived Hal Jordan and built the Green Lantern mythos comletely reworking the background of everything Green Lantern realted and brought in some interesting new characters while revamping older ones. His run began with Green Lantern Rebirth#1 in the Fall of 2004. After 87 issues under his name and the 6 issue min that lead into it Johns is going to focus on the Justice League or rather both of them cutting Green Lantern from his work load. What does this mean for Green Lantern as a title and the whole Green Lantern world? This will take effect with #20 out this May. No new writer has been announced at this point to pick up after the 1st Lantern's revenge beginning with #21.

It'll be sad to see him go, but I think it's time there was a new writer for Green Lantern. Johns has had his time, now it's time to let someone else run with it. Under him, GL has become a lot more about inter-corps conflicts, it'd be nice if they started to move away from that. I'm excited to see who is taking over.

His run started when I was in high school. Dang, goood things can't last for ever though. It will definitely be odd since no one has handled the main book since Geoff has reinvented the franchise eith exceeption to those two War of the Green Lantern eplilogues taking #68 and #69's place just before the reboot. Peter Tomasi is already in the world of Green Lantern so I like the idea of him taking over its just I don't know what else he writes to be able to take it on. The standards have been set a mile high so I hope fans don't jump ship because of a writer change. I hope the Hal/Sinestro marriageo f convience ends with this and the inner conflictcs end to focus on other villains like Evil Star that has been mentioned but never shown. I am quite curious what lies ahead. I was growing bored with this Simon Baz bit and Hal and Sinestro working together. Maybe we are in for a change of pace.

Glald to see you posting over here instead of lurking. Welcome to the posting part of the 'drome,recruit.

I would be cool with Peter Tomasi taking over. I like his stuff on Green Lantern Corps, I think he does a good job with it. I agree about the Baz bit and Hal and Sinestro working together. Hal and Sinestro working together was a cool dynamic at the start of the New 52, but I had hoped it would have played out by now with Hal reinstated, or something along those lines. Simon Baz never really interested me. I don't think there needs to be another lantern from Earth...again. I hope those change with the new writer.

And yeah, I'm posting. I still lurk more than post, but it's a start.

Baz will be in Justice Leauge of America under Johns pen so he is stick around...for now. I don't know why since there are already so many like you siad and Hal is set to be reinstated. It seems like something will happen to Sinestro for a time and Baz keep s the ring for better or worse.

Hal and Sinestro have been teamming up one way or another since July 2009 which was the beginning of Blackest Night. That was followed up by Korna collecting the spectrum's entities and then the relaunch where they have been more good cop/bad cop with Hal stuck under Sinestro. We still have a little ways to wrap up the whole Third Army and then 1st Lantern going rogue. Though I am eager to hear what lies beyond that. More of the same? I doubt it. More characters that have had little use to none since Johns took the reigns? Who knows.

Third Army's over, dawg.

Third Army's over, dawg.

And with it's end, comes Wrath of the First Lantern. They're always following up crossovers with more crossovers. Still, I'm looking forward to it, the Third Army was a little underwhelming.

@MikeandRaph

I never really minded them teaming up before the relaunch, but it's gotten old. The relaunch gave the team up a different feel because Hal relied on Sinestro for his ring, but, again, it's gotten old. Regardless, Johns has taken GL fans on a great ride. I'll check out JLA, but I'm not sold on the cast yet.

Just before the last issue of Third Army, I was lamenting the same thing. The teams almost never even encountered the Army and I swear more fighting against them happened in that one issue than in the entire saga.
