Love Is A Battlefield
The War of the Green Lanterns may have ended, but its bitter consequences linger throughout the universe. The relationship between Kyle Rayner and his girlfriend Soranik Natu has yet to recover since Krona enslaved the Corps and Kyle was spared from his manipulative mind-control.
When Kyle has a vision of Star Sapphire Miri destroying a neighboring planet, he and Soranik will be forced to work together to prevent their friend from causing any more damage. But can the duo get past their issues for the greater good of the Corps? And what is causing Star Sapphire Miri to lash out and become so hungry for power?
GREEN LANTERN CORPS #62 by Tony Bedard, Daniel HDR and Keith Champagne, flies into stores today.

Tyler Kirkham on GREEN LANTERN: NEW GUARDIANS
(The cover for GREEN LANTERN: NEW GUARDIANS #1 by Tyler Kirkham and BATT)
Starting this September, artist Tyler Kirkham (GREEN LANTERN CORPS) will be illustrating (along with BATT) the new series, GREEN LANTERN: NEW GUARDIANS. Led by Kyle Rayner, the New Guardians are a powerful team comprised of the full spectrum of the corps. We caught up with Tyler during his early process of illustrating the new series.
THE SOURCE: What about DC's new 52 titles excites you the most?
TYLER KIRKHAM: There are still DC books I'm not familiar with so this will help me to start from scratch, and pick up books I've wanted to read for a while. I also plan on getting an iPad or tablet soon and want to start reading some of my books digitally. So with the books starting from # 1, I can have a whole series from the beginning. I'm extremely excited about it.
How and why are you shaking up the series' status quo?
Well my series is one of the new ones. GREEN LANTERN: NEW GUARDIANS. I'm glad Kyle will still be staring in my new book. I really love drawing him. This book will focus on all the ring color corps, so well will get to see a lot more of the Lantern universe than the other Lantern titles.
What new characters will debut in the series?
All I can say for now is Kyle Rayner. But there will be members from all the other color corps.
Will we see new character designs?
Most likely. As of now, we’re still in the development stage.
What's the biggest surprise you've had working on this character/book?
As I'm just getting started, the whole series is a surprise to me. I think the whole story will surprise people, as we discover secrets from all the other corps.
What secret has been the hardest to keep?
Just the fact that I wasn't staying on the GREEN LANTERN CORPS series. I wanted to tell some of my friends and fans but held off until it was announced.
What’s the unofficial tagline for this series, in your own words?
“What will happen when you put a member from all the Lantern corps in the same room?”

From the Editor's Desk: Brian Cunningham on War of the Green Lanterns
When I was recently handed the editorial reins to GREEN LANTERN, GREEN LANTERN CORPS and GREEN LANTERN: EMERALD WARRIORS, it felt admittedly daunting. I was coming on board just as all three titles raced into the massive crossover story, “War of the Green Lanterns.” It was an intimidating prospect.
At our first story conference back in December, the experience was unlike any I’ve had before. The creative energy between writers Geoff Johns, Peter Tomasi and Tony Bedard just sizzled with electricity. And riffing along with them were editors Eddie Berganza, Adam Schlagman, Darren Shan and myself.
In the considerably tiny conference room, huge ideas were put forth. Giant sheets of paper were taped to a wall, and with every cool moment or scene written down with markers, we had the makings of a major turning point in the lives of Hal Jordan, Guy Gardner, John Stewart and Kyle Rayner. I was simply stunned at how committed the team was with pushing boundaries, asking taboo questions and taking real creative risks.
And while every single Green Lantern gets affected by the story’s outcome, none shine more brightly than franchise star Hal Jordan. Hal meets this enormous challenge the only way he knows how—head on with a healthy dose of fear that he needs to overcome. That he MUST overcome. Simply put, Hal makes choices throughout the “War” that will both thrill and chill, and that is not hyperbole. Not at all.
The post-“War” worlds of all three GREEN LANTERN titles look very little like they did before it started. Again, I stress, not hyperbole. I wish I could tell you more, but I have to save SOME surprises for you guys!
I hope you guys enjoy it as much as the teams that put it all together do.
