DCU in 2011: Peter Milligan announces Red Lanterns

Over his six years on the book, Geoff Johns has brought so many cool new elements to the Green Lantern mythos, one of my (and I'm sure many other fans' favorites) being the other colors of Lantern Corps -- from the Sinestro Corps War, to Rage of the Red Lanterns, Blackest Night and Brightest Day and everything in between, the introduction of the new Corps in the Green Lantern books have made for one heck of an epic story.

That said, we're excited to announce that one of those Corps is getting their own book: RED LANTERNS, launching as an ongoing comic book series written by Peter Milligan in 2011.

Here's Peter Milligan's impetus for the new series:

"Everybody who has read Green Lantern and its associated books for any time

probably knows why Atrocitus is angry. His entire race was almost wiped out

by marauding Manhunters.

"But after Geoff Johns asked if I was interested in writing The Red Lantern

Corps I started thinking about Atrocitus and his anger. Because it’s not

just anger. It is RAGE. A crimson red rage that still consumes him after all

this time. And when you think about it, the Manhunter massacre happened an

awful long time ago. Eons ago. Okay, you’d never get over something like

that. But Atrocitus’ rageŠit hasn’t weakened. It is just as immense and

awesome as it was all those centuries ago. I wanted to know why. I wanted

to know how.

"In the first storyline of THE RED LANTERN CORPS we look for an answer to

these questions. And the answer lies in part on the far side of the prison

planet Ysmault. It is here where we’ll see why and how the rage of Atrocitus

is just as all-consuming as it ever was. We’ll also begin to learn what goes

on in the boiling brains of his napalm-blooded corps. Can the proud Bleeze

remain a loyal servant? How does the angry cat DEXTAR try to feed its

beloved master? And what horrors lie at the bed of the ocean of blood?"

-Peter Milligan

CORPS 101: RED LANTERNS

Yesterday, you got a breakdown of all the key members of the GREEN LANTERN CORPS. But as we head into BLACKEST NIGHT, from mega-stars Geoff Johns and Ivan Reis, how familiar are you with the rest of the colors of the emotional spectrum? Yeah, thought so. That really annoys me. Some might say, it makes me angry -- and we all know what happens when you get really angry? Rage. Yes. See what I'm trying to do here?

Enough with the emotional joking, though. Here's the basics on Atrocitus and his crew of rage-fueled monsters, put on the page by the amazingly talented Doug Mahnke.
