    With all the recent announcements in DC Comics new #1 titles, the Green Lanterns have been absent. Granted, we haven't heard details on all 52 titles but with a major motion picture on the way, we expect something involving the Lanterns.

    No need to fear (especially since that's a sign of weakness for the Green Lanterns), today, DC has confirmed details on the upcoming Green (and RED) Lantern titles.

    Green Lantern #1 will continue with Geoff Johns. He will be reunited by artists Doug Mahnke and Christian Alamy. This will be Hal Jordan's book still. DC is saying that change is coming...

    Green Lantern Corps #1 will be written by Peter Tomasi with art by Fernando Pasarin and Scott Hanna. Guy Gardner, John Stewart and an elite Green Lantern strike force will keep the peace when deadly conflict emerges across the universe.

    What about Kyle Rayner?

    Green Lantern: The New Guardians #1 will be written by Tony Bedard with art by Tyler Kirkham and Batt. The power of Rage, Avarice, Fear, Will, Hope, Compassion and Love combine to become the most powerful and colorful team in the corps. Whoa! Who will be leading this crazy-sounding team? Mr. Kyle Rayner.

    But that's not all. Red Lanterns #1 will be written by Peter Milligan with art by Ed Benes and Rob Hunter. Atrocitus and the Red Lanterns are finally getting their own book (remember this was announced earlier?). This Lantern takes no prisoners.

    And there you have the upcoming Lantern books. Which are you most looking forward to? I'm not sure which will be more crazy, Red Lanterns or The New Guardians.

    Thanks to sEsposito7 for making sure we were on top of this.

    I knew some continuity would remain since the Green Lantern movie, animated series and Emerald Knights video would all use material from the current comics it would have been bad marketing to remove them.

    I will purchase The New guardians with Kyle 's leading, and the  GLC with John Stewart and Guy Gardner. 
    But i'm desappointed  with DC plans for John Stewart. Unlike the others 3, John has always been a 2nd class and sidekick lantern.I'm wondering when will DC understand that John has many fans who want to see him shine like the others ? 
    i'm sorry,but this is  bad. 
     
     1)Geoff writes like everything is about Hal. 
    2)We already know Kyle is the greatest lantern of all time.  
    3)Guy has a great costume,and a "special"  behavior,and a quite good story because we dont know if he belongs to Green or Red lanterns actually. 
     
    ? ) What's exactly left for John,except being the so-called "black lantern" ?  
    If you dont know what to do with him,just kill him already.Because everything that i see is an eternal backup hero.
    Anyway, it's not my comic book.Do what you want to do.

     Pretty sure Guy is going to stay as a GL as he's on the cover of the new JLI as a GL.

    Wow this actually sounds really cool as long as they don't undo a bunch of stuff with these so called "reboots". I really despise the person who first said this is what we should call these revamps since it is freaking people out.

    So, for the new guardians, who is representing the "other" lanterns? I guess avarice has to be larfleeze, but what about the rest? I'm hoping to see Saint Walker and Dex'Starr, personally.

    I approve of Red Lanterns #1. Now if Milligan can stop making stinkers like he did in 5 Ronin and in Secret Seven with this book, then Red Lanterns will survive its first year. I know he's capable of good stories, like in Hellblazer, but recently, he's been slumping. :/

    I'm not enjoying this. We have 4 green lantern series. We are also going to have a lot of Batman series I think too. This was the perfect time for DC to give characters that have not been in the spotlight in a long time their chance.

    So....I don't get it.  Where does the reboot come into this?  I hope we get a history lesson on what is different exactly.   
     
    I wonder if Krona will eventually have something to do with this reality bending?

    Hope GL Corps focuses more on John, the guy is insanely popular but hes another minority character DC just doesn't know what to do with. I'm sorry if I'm sounding repetitive(if you read any of my comment concerning the DC Reboot) but DC needs to show more love for their miniority characters instead of just making them silent background characters

    You know in Kyle's case nobody is saying he's a Green Lantern - he could be one of the other colors. Maybe he sticks with Blue?  Either way I'm pleased with this line-up.  I just hope they don't fully BND Lois and Clark.

    Well with 4 lantern books and 11 other titles already announced we have 37 more titles to go. 
     
    At the moment i'm pretty interested in this new Red Lantern series. If done well it could be a hit, and new guardians only means more of our favoret orange lantern and his funny dialogue. I agree with some of the other comments about John though, i mean I'm not exatly a reader of the green lantern series (because like the rest of us here know this hobby is an expecive one ) but from what I've been able to see he's always been put down a step to let the other 3 rise. But maby with the new readers that are going to be coming in and all that he'll gain more of a fanbase and will finally get pushed up from 2nd place to first . (plus 2 series with gy might make people a tinsy wincy bit agrivated :P )
     
    But eith 37 more titles left to be reviled i'm still aprehensive about the revamp, and still hoping that some of my current series will get the same fortune as these. But so far DC your Revamp has given me 5 titles that i'll pick up.

    @Chane: A couple of DC's covers have been pretty misleading as of late though. Heck, Flashpoint #2's alternate cover is pretty misleading, imo.

    As much as i want to wait and see how this all shakes out, I'm not likely to go out and get an e-reader or iPad and then spend full cover price for digital delivery. So, it seems more and more likely that I will look for trade paperback collections. 
     
    I guess we will see how long the monthly will still be available in print...

    @Midnight Monk:  
    Ya know, Gail Simone was JUST talking about that very thing on Twitter the other day, and she's right. 
      
    I definitely am most intrigued by the new GL Corps book simply because it has John Stewart in it.  Not to mention Peter Tomasi is no slouch, anyway.

    @Herx: Some of the 37 are pretty easy to guess, i.e.  
    1. Action Comics
    2. Superman  
    3. Batman
    4. Detective Comics 
    5. A Legion title
    6. Batwoman
    I would guess that Bat-family and Super books to have a similar exposure in the 52 as to what they have now. 
     
    Seeing as he was pretty prominent on that JLI book, I wonder if Booster will still be in an ongoing.

    I may ignore GL and Corp and go with New Guardians and Red Lanterns.  To be honest I'm getting kinda tired of Green Lantern.

    No sir Kyle will be the star of a book leading a team. 
    Green Lantern: The New Guardians #1 will be written by Tony Bedard with art by Tyler Kirkham and Batt. The power of Rage, Avarice, Fear, Will, Hope, Compassion and Love combine to become the most powerful and colorful team in the corps. Whoa! Who will be leading this crazy-sounding team? Mr. Kyle Rayner. 
     
    It was never stated that one of the GL's would die rather that 1 from Earth would no longer wield the Green Lantern Ring. If Kyle does become a Blue Lantern that would be cool 2. Their Corps is just as interesting as the GL's too me. 
    All these titles look very interesting. I'm glad to see we will be continuing to see all the Earth Green Lanterns shine. 
    It is true however though that DC has decided not to give the spotlight to John but at the very LEAST he is mentioned. I think over time DC will give John his own story they just want to be sure his fan base is strong enough to hold it up. On a lot of the Green Lantern sites where I am a user of John was getting the top votes for the Lantern to be killed off. This does not mean that that is any official data as to whether or not John has become appreciated over the years rather that they are taking their time with him. After the events of WOTGL John will be having to face some hard times after having killed Mogo. (He had to though!) 
     
    The New Guardians Books looks very interesting. I was getting extremely bored with how the Guardians have remained unchanged throughout all these years and it was time that they got brushed aside a a new type of order instilled in their place. It will be very interesting to see how the "New Guardians" are. 
     
    Red Lanterns getting their own book. I will be picking this up to see how it is but I would have liked to see a Blue Lantern book rather than a Red One. Atrocitus does have a very interesting past and origin story with his sector been completely destroyed by the Manhunters. The only purpose that I have seen the Red Lanterns interested in though is the destruction of the Guardians because of what they allowed to happen to his sector (although his harbors the same level of hate for the GL Corps entirely). I just hope this book does not become similar to the Coyote and the Road Runner cartoon in which he is just fixated on killing them and has no other objective in life. 
     
    Kyle getting his own book will...be...epic. Especially if they give him a blue ring. 
     
    All in all I will be picking up the first 10 issues of each of these new series no matter what and making my final decision as to which I will be continuing on a permanent basis.
