Back in December, we told you that GREEN LANTERN #7 will kick off a brand new story arc, “The Secret of the Indigo Tribe.” In it, Hal and Sinestro’s uneasy alliance will continue as they travel to the Indigo homeworld to uncover the truths behind a heinous crime.
Today, take an exclusive first look at fan-favorite artist Ian Churchill’s variant cover for the issue, both in black and white and its final colored version.
“The GREEN LANTERN editor, Brian Cunningham, asked for a cover involving the character Indigo-1 and to have the two Green Lanterns completely defeated!” Churchill exclusively told THE SOURCE. “I came up with a few thumbnails and Brian preferred this one because he said he liked the way it reversed the clichéd view of the male on the throne flanked by females.
So with that in mind, I went ahead and this was the result. Having to leave space for the bar code at the bottom was a challenge with this one, but I managed to make it work - in the end!
I then passed it on to Alex Sollazzo for color and... voila! One GREEN LANTERN variant cover was created!”
GREEN LANTERN #7 goes on sale on March 14th.

Here’s a round up of the exclusive previews from this week’s DC COMICS-THE NEW 52 releases, on sale Wednesday.
USA TODAY has your first look at BATMAN #6 and interviewed series writer Scott Snyder and series artist Greg Capullo. “The fun of the court is that they are faceless and that Bruce is frustrated by the fact that he can't figure out who they are, and that even when he was a boy he couldn't put a finger on what they've done to affect his destiny. That is going to play a very big part coming up,” Snyder said of the Court of Owls and the upcoming “Night of the Owls” crossover event that will be spanning all the Bat-books. “This second half of the story really is going to explore who is behind the mask — both in a way where you will find out some of the people who are Owls, but more importantly you'll find out who they've been historically to Gotham and how they've shaped the Bat-mythology in ways that I think will be really shocking to people.”
COMIC BOOK RESOURCES has a sneak peek at NIGHTWING #6, NEWSARAMA unleashed their claws by revealing four pages from CATWOMAN #6, COMICVINE previewed BLUE BEETLE #6 and IFANBOY took you to the 31st century with their preview of LEGION OF SUPER-HEROES #6.
Meanwhile, MAXIM debuted a sequence from SUPERGIRL #6, GAWKER’s IO9 ran an exclusive preview of WONDER WOMAN #6 and IGN premiered the first four pages of BIRDS OF PREY #6. MTV GEEK has a first look at the new story arc and creative team making their debut in DC UNIVERSE PRESENTS #6, UGO has a glance at RED HOOD AND THE OUTLAWS #6 and TOR.COM satisfied your sci-fi craving with their preview of CAPTAIN ATOM #6.
