Green Lantern Movie Prequel Comics Announced

News

Sure, it’s big enough to get a movie all to itself, but is a movie big enough to contain the Green Lantern mythos? Is any comic book movie big enough to do that? Well, DC isn’t worrying about that, and as a smart means of promotion is releasing a series of prequel comics, not unlike they and Marvel have done for various movies in the past (Red comes to mind, as do the X-Men movies). So what’s the list look like? Well, they’re written by screen writers, producers, and Geoff Johns, and for art they picked up Generation Lost artists Fernando Dagnino and Joe Bennett, as well as Karl Kerschl, Cliff Richards, and the veteran Jerry Ordway.
