Geoff Johns Off Green Lantern!
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.

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.

@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.
