Today marks the release of GREEN LANTERN #0. As eagerly anticipated as it is mysterious, the issue launches a brand new chapter in Green Lantern history by introducing a new Earth-born ring bearer: Simon Baz.

You’ve already seen the exclusive preview of the issue that ran in THE DETROIT FREE PRESS. But that’s not all that hit the web yesterday. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS chatted with writer Geoff Johns. Check out the interview to read more about Baz, Geoff’s inspirations for the character, and more.

If you want to read more from Geoff, take a look at the interviews he conducted with THE NEW YORK DAILY NEWS, USA TODAY, BUZZFEED, and THE WALL STREET JOURNAL. Plus, you won’t want to miss GREEN LANTERN #0 artist Doug Mahnke’s interviews with NEWSARAMA and COMICVINE!
