Exclusive: GREEN LANTERN Group July 2013 Solicits

Find out what's happening in July. Be warned, there may be some minor spoilers.

June brings big changes to the GREEN LANTERN family of books. Besides Geoff Johns ending his nine year run, the entire line of books is pretty much seeing new creative changes. Change can be good and keeps everyone on their toes.

As the current GL books are going through the Wrath of the First Lantern story, there's been some questions as to what happens next. If you read GREEN LANTERN #19, you know big things just happened. We've seen the June solicits already but the July ones shed more light on what's happening. As with all solicits, there may be some spoilers to the current issues.

I'm glad they're focusing on Larfleeze a little more. He's become the comic relief for GL books as of late, and he's really much more dangerous and complicated than that.

Red Lanterns looks really interesting.

GLC looks kind of bad since we already know that DC had the stupid idea to kill John and got shot down by the common sense.

No Kyle is a White Lantern. He just looks yellow from the lighting/coloring.

Guy and Bleez together is disgusting.

GL and Larfleeze look good. I still wish we had Fialkov, though.

I'll pick up GL, GLC, and RLC. I'm happy DC is finally done ignoring John.

He's flipping off the people who wanted to kill him off, haha.

I always loved Guy as a Red Lantern. But i see he still has a green glove and ring so maybe he's going undercover? Or is part of both Corps again?

From the interviews the authors said they are having to add a lot more new members to the GL: Corps. Basically a ton have died in Johns run and not many have been replaced since Krona really. So its a bunch of new recruits. Some of the classic members will still be around, so no worries there.

Yeah, before Fialkov left there was a story in place where Guy becomes a red lantern. Looks like that story is continuing. I don't really see an issue with it in all honesty. People always complain that there are "to many earth lanterns" so this is a way of addressing while still keeping the character around. Kyle is a white lantern and Guy is a red (which came up from Johns run as you know during blackest night). Not really sure what this means for ol' Atrocitus

Nice to see Larfleeze getting some due focus in the Green Lantern titles. Takes away from the fact that Fialkov has been unfairly booted off GLC and RL. Still Green Lantern and New Guardians won't be affected by this. Looking forward to what Venditti has in store in Green Lantern.

Too bad Fialkov is not coming back, I guess I'll just resign myself to drop GLC and RL.

But... what is this? J.M. DeMatteis joins Keith Giffen in Larfleeze? Yes! Now that is awesome! These two guys could make me read Hank Hall's biography if they went with a humorous take on it! I was already on board with this series but now I can't wait for it to come out.

I'm gonna miss the creative teams, but also think the new guys are going to be good. So, I'm excited for that. Larfleeze is gonna be great, though. Keith Giffen has been doing great things on the backups, I just love his humor.

I hope they don't ruin Kyle Rayner, he's always been a cut above the rest, that's why I liked him as Ion and now this White Lantern. I also like Hal more as Parallax.

I'm a little uneasy about all of the change ups, but I'm still going to be picking these books up. Hopefully I end up loving it. It seems like either GL or GLC could turn into a "Wolverine and the X-Men" type book with there being a training facility for a the seemingly new young GL's. Or I could totally be wrong. I'm excited for Larfleeze, he's got that comic relief that I feel DC doesn't have with their books. I'm partly hoping he could be like Deadpool in the sense it's a comedic book additional with killing + breaking of the fourth wall.

Oh and lastly, I'm all for Guy becoming a Red Lantern but it kind of seems pointless to me because we just got Rankorr as our human RL. I don't think they need two human RL's.

Look at who Guy is on top of, also in the latest RL issue Atrocitus orders the Corps to kill him.
