The Green Lanterns Take Sinestro’s Fate into Their Own Hands

The anger and pain inflicted by the War of The Green Lanterns is still reverberating throughout Oa. The Guardians are deliberating in seclusion. John Stewart has been ostracized. And a contingent of Green Lanterns decide to assassinate Sinestro causing Soranik Natu and Kyle Rayner to come to blows. Without unity and order have the Green Lanterns lost their way?

Written by Tony Bedard and with art by Ransom Getty and Andy Smith, WAR OF THE GREEN LANTERNS: AFTERMATH concludes today in issue #2, “Casualties of War.”

War Aftermath: Picking Up The Pieces

Hal Jordan stripped of his ring? Green Lanterns abruptly resign their posts? Sinestro is a Green Lantern again??

The “War of the Green Lanterns” may have ended in GREEN LANTERN #67, but chaos, violence, and paranoia still pollute the fragile state of the Green Lantern Corps. And the mystery behind the renegade Sinestro gaining a Green Lantern ring is not helping. At all. If the Guardians can explain why their greatest enemy wears their badge once again, they certainly aren’t talking. And amidst all of this turmoil, a conspiracy forms that could destroy the Corps from within.

Written by Tony Bedard and featuring art by Miguel Sepulveda, Tyler Kirkham, Batt and Rain Beredo, WAR OF THE GREEN LANTERNS: AFTERMATH #1 flies into stores today.

“Stormwatch is … quite probably the biggest secret in all the DC Universe.” – Miguel Sepulveda

StormwatchLogoMiguel Sepulveda has illustrated the covers for numerous books including SUPERMAN/BATMAN and FLASHPOINT: LEGION OF DOOM. This summer, he’ll take the reigns as interior artist with WAR OF THE GREEN LANTERNS: AFTERMATH, followed by STORMWATCH this fall.

THE SOURCE: What about DC's new 52 titles excites you the most?

MIGUEL SEPULVEDA: I think the amazing risk DC is taking is going to really benefit the comic book industry.

How and why are you shaking up the series' status quo?

Starting from scratch and bringing Stormwatch to the DC Universe (as it’s always been a part of it) is a nice shake-up. Being a part of this “revolution” is an amazing opportunity for any artist, I’d say!

What new characters will debut in the series?

A lot! Adam One, Harry Tanner, The Projectionist, etc. But ... who's saying all the rest are not "new", too?

Will we see new character designs?

Oh yes, that's one of the best parts of all of this!

What secret has been the hardest to keep?

Honestly, Stormwatch is, in and on itself, A BIG SECRET. Quite probably the biggest secret in all the DC Universe. And I mean BIG in a DC Universe cornerstone kind of way.

What’s the unofficial tagline for this series, in your own words?

BRUTAL.

What were your thoughts about the day-and-date digital announcement?

Well played, DC, well played.
