Introducing the new Green Lantern… in a Superman Book?

May 15th, 2012

I hope everyone who wondered who the Green Lantern was in DC’s FCBD issue has seen this month’s DC solicits:

GREEN LANTERN ANNUAL #1
Written by GEOFF JOHNS

Design cover
On sale AUGUST 29 • 48 pg, FC, $4.99 US • RATED T
• The conclusion of “THE REVENGE OF BLACK HAND”!
• Everything changes here! EVERYTHING!

And not just that one, either…

SUPERMAN ANNUAL #1
Written by KEITH GIFFEN
Art by CAFU and others
Cover by TYLER KIRKHAM and BATT
On sale AUGUST 29 • 48 pg, FC, $4.99 US • RATED T
• Abducted by a group of mysterious aliens, Superman is dragged to a remote alien galaxy to take part in THE GAMES, a world hopping game of cat-and-mouse where players are hunted for sport.
• Can even the help of a mysterious new GREEN LANTERN overcome the might of an alien empire?

If the new GL is making his debut in Superman Annual and not the Green Lantern series, then that’s an interesting way to (a) bring some attention to what otherwise looks like a generic one-shot, and (b) tie the various DCU families together before next year’s Trinity War storyline. But would they really dare do it…?

    There are 7200+ Green Lanterns. Clark is going out into space to a remote galaxy.

    It’s not the new Trinity War Green Lantern.

  2. Simon DelMonte Says:

    Everything? EVERYTHING? So, after I read this, the price of Starbucks coffee will change, and the color of my hair, and the laws of nature? If DC is promising EVERYTHING will change, I expect that to happen. If not, I will demand my money back.

  3. Arturo Ulises Says:

    Will the Annual explain how Captain Britain became a Green Lantern?

  4. Sam Says:

    Is it just me that think that this mysterious Green Lantern is Black Hand?

    I mean, since the first time i saw Jim Lee’s art for FCBD i thought about Black Hand, but all those speculations around websites never mentions him.
