>Since we're not off the venditti train after rebirth
Dear god, it's me anon, have I offended you somehow
he does write his family will which is nice
>>81506903
This is the only time there's narration captions in Venditti's whole GL run, that seems like kinda lazy exposition
>>81506981
True, I like how he writes Jim
also appreciate he tries to do some cosmic stuff that isn't just more lantern colors
>>81507111
I wish he'd have introduced these guys better earlier, he just teased at them before and now there's only a couple issues to actually do something
>>81506969
>I became will.
Man, it's too bad there's not an older Green Lantern he could go to for advice. One who has experience with being a living existence made of will. Someone who could help and mentor him through this.
Too bad.
>>81507167
there isnt though
>>81507172
Him harpooning the ship is pretty neat
Thanks OP, if Venditti has to stay at least the art will finally be better
>>81507364
he also has EVS now who's meddling will finally be a benefit
>>81507398
Based EVS.
>>81506932
What's with the eye?
>>81507398
I sure hope so! This sounds like his passion project
Also Venditti did a short interview http://www.newsarama.com/28702-dc-s-rebirth-puts-a-ring-back-on-hal-jordan.html
>>81507455
EYE AM WILL, FATHER.
>>81507434
he kinda fucked lost army for his new mini though
>>81508479
Guy isn't terrible there, so I don't care.

>While many characters will be helmed by new creators as part of DC’s Rebirth, Hal Jordan will be flying with a familiar co-pilot as recent Green Lantern writer Robert Venditti will continue to write his adventures in the new ongoing series Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps. Also joining him is classic Green Lantern artist Ethan Van Sciver and his former XO Manowar collaborator Rafa Sandoval.
>With Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps, Hal’s “rebirth” is about returning to his roots – getting back his power ring, joining forces with the Corps, and clashing with his arch-nemesis Sinestro on a cosmic scale. Newsarama spoke with Venditti about Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps at WonderCon, discovering the event that reunites Hal with his former teammates, and even which Lanterns that will entail.
>Spoiler alert: Ch’p might just be involved.
>Newsarama: Robert, you’re sticking with the Green Lantern mythos in Rebirth, writing Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps. Will this mark Hal’s return to ringslinging as opposed to using the gauntlet he’s been wearing lately?
Robert Venditti: Yeah, as part of Rebirth, all the characters are returning to their roots. But I will say the manner in which Hal gets his ring back will be unexpected, and it’ll build on everything we’ve done up until now, including him using the gauntlet.
>Nrama: So there are a still a few surprises in store with the story of the gauntlet.
>Venditti: Definitely.
>Nrama: I take it that Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps will build off your previous Green Lantern run. Will this be a continuation of that story?
>Venditti: In a sense, in the way that all the Rebirth books are intended to incorporate the long, storied histories of all these characters. It won’t just build on what I’ve done previously but what Geoff Johns has done, what everyone has done, all the way back to the beginning. But it’s also a jumping-on point.
>>81508516
>If you’ve never read Green Lantern in your life, you can pick up Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps #1 and you’re gonna know everything you need to know to read this new series.
>Nrama: We know that Sinestro is a big part of this book, and that he’s now in command of Warworld.
>Venditti: Correct! We open #1 with Sinestro parking Warworld at Sector 0, which is the location of the Green Lantern headquarters, where it’s always been. But with the Green Lantern Corps absent, Sinestro is going to fill that void and take control of the universe. When we open our story, he’s taken over as the police force in the universe and never even had to fire a shot, and this is the story of what happens next. How does Hal reunite with the Corps? How the they come and unseat this uber-powerful Corps of Yellow Lanterns, and restore themselves as the police force of the universe.
>Nrama: As you just said, Hal is reuniting with the Green Lantern Corps, which should be obvious from the title.
>Venditti: I didn’t! I said this is the story of how he reunites with them.
>Nrama: Fair enough. Let’s talk about the Corps. Who are the characters from the Corps, other than Hal, who you’re really connecting with?
>Venditti: John Stewart, for one. I’ve always liked John Stewart, going back to the animated series. I’m a huge John Stewart fan. But also Guy Gardner kind of surprised me. I’ve never had a chance to write Guy before. He’s always been kind of a lunkhead to me, but I found out he’s actually really fun to write. Then you’ve got the classics – Kilowog, Arisia…
>Nrama: Ch’p.
>>81508528
>Venditti: [laughs] Ch’p. Yeah, so many great characters. The thing that’s nice about Green Lantern in so many ways is, when you’ve got a character like Superman, who’s just Superman, and Superman’s been written by a bunch of other people, when you’re writing the Green Lantern Corps, you’ve got Green Lanterns that were introduced by specific writers, so in a way, you’re working with every writer who created their own Lantern. There are so many unique voices in that melting pot. That’s really fun to work with.
>Nrama: That kind of goes along with the idea of “legacy” which is so important in Rebirth. On that note, I have to ask, will Kyle Rayner appear in this series?
>Venditti: Absolutely! You’ll see him very early on, we do have plans for Kyle. I don’t want to go into them too much because I don’t want to step on what’s gonna happen in Omega Men leading up to that, which is a phenomenal series by Tom King. But yes, Kyle will be there, and perhaps the best part of all of it is this is gonna be brought to you by Ethan Van Sciver, and artist who is synonymous with Green Lantern and Rebirth, and also Rafa Sandoval who I’ve worked with before on X-O Manowar, and he does phenomenal work on a cosmic scale, with spaceships and aliens and all of that stuff. Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps is the book I want to be on, with the collaborators I want to be collaborating with, and I couldn’t be more excited about it.
>>81508516
>>81508528
>>81508543
Hal and GLC will be clusterfuck of bitching.
>>81508543
atleast ganthet and sayd are on the cover since that plot point was abandoned some time ago
>>81506969
But the Guardians are dead. Hal saw Sinestro over their corpses.This isn't new to him. Also, how do they not know who Parallax is? This bothered me last issue too.
>>81508718
he means the templar guardians
also the continuity is fucked because johns didn't reboot supposedly everything pre new 52 happened but it doesn't make sense at all
>>81508732
Reboot of GL and Batman is so half-assed, amazing.
>>81508732
Oh yeah, I completely forgot those guys existed.
>>81508479
He didn't do anything to LA, he said he was literally accepting any GL work he got
>>81506903
>>81506916
Is Hal gonna spawn a new Ion or what
>>81511520
could be, seems like everyone agrees the reservoir thing was a mistake
>>81512032
Considering that even Venditti started ignoring that it seems likely they might undo it
Boop
>>81506851
I thought Humphries was writing GL post rebirth?
>>81515284
Green Lanterns (Jessica and Simon).
>>81515284
He's writing Jessica and Simon.
>>81515284
he's writing simon baz and jessica
venditti has everything else
>>81515284
He's writing Green Lanterns with Simon and Jessica
Venditti is writing Hal Jordan and the GLC with Hal and everybody else
>>81515405
sinestro is turning into hector hammond here
>>81515933
Sinestro used to have a giant forehead too, don't forget
RIP Sexnestro
>>81515933
>>81515960
I miss handsome Sinestro.
>>81516144
as long as he remains smug there is nothing to worry
>>81516820
But I want him to be smug AND hot
>>81506969
so, we still don't know how all the green lanterns were banished to the previous universe?
>>81517390
will we ever
>Vendetti still on
Damn, I was thinking of picking GL back up with Rebirth. Dropped it after the Relic and reservoir shit when Vendetti turned Hal into a power-hungry space Hitler.
Did it ever get better?
>>81518680
Nope.
>>81518680
it got better but it still isn't good
>>81518716
>>81518769
That's too bad. Honestly surprised Johns let him do all that reservoir shit. The way DC and the fans talk about Johns, you'd think he'd have more power at DC.
I would've rather had them do a story where GL rings are weak to anything painted yellow again than "hurr you're using up all the universe's emotions!"
>>81518863
Sinestro has been good, but that's about it
>>81518863
To be fair even Venditti started ignoring the reservoir stuff, NOBODY liked it
>>81519178
When did he drop it? I've been a GL fan for ages, but that was too much. Might start reading again before the Rebirth issues come out if that's the case
>>81519425
After GL 30 or so
I remember GL 34 had a conversation between Hal and his brother where his brother just flat out said something akin to "just ignore the reservoir thing Hal it literally doesn't matter" and it stopped coming up even before that
>>81519488
>fuck the universe, Hal. You don't owe it a thing, you never did
Madman.
>>81519551
Well it was less "FUCK THE UNIVERSE" and more "we know it's dumb so ignore it"
Jim is kind of a reader opinion mouth piece, like when he told Hal his plan was stupid and that he doesn't have to feel guilty about everything always
>>81519681
Oh, I agree reservoir thing is stupid, I just thought to put BvS line there.
>>81519681
jim really is a voice of reason
>cut that shitty long hair hal
Bamp
>>81519681
Thinking about it, Hal becoming an entity could tie back into the reservoir with eventually Hal and some more new entities sacrificing themselves to refill it again.
Basically making the reservoir limited in charge but also endlessly renewable as long as life persists.
>>81522593
That's still very stupid.
>>81522836
I would still prefer it to "emotions are finite"
Hal becoming an entity himself would be pretty weird though, he should just give birth to a new Ion
