From Newsarama After getting an assist from Green Lantern writer Robert Venditti for the first few months of his run, Van Jensen is taking over the Green Lantern Corps title as a solo act — just in time for war with the Durlans and a return of the Sinestro Corps. The next storyline sees the Corps coming up against the Durlans, including the oversized Green Lantern Corps Annual #2 later this month. While other Green Lanterns get the spotlight elsewhere in the DCU — Hal in Green Lantern, Guy in Red Lanterns, Kyle in New Guardians, and Simon in Justice League of America — the storyline of Green Lantern Corps focuses on John Stewart. Newsarama talked to Jensen to find out more about his plans for Green Lantern Corps, the threat presented by the Durlan war, and what readers can expect from the return of the Sinestro Corps. Newsarama: Van, now that you're writing solo on Green Lantern Corps, and you've been on the book for half a year, what's the ride been like? Anything surprise you? Van Jensen: It's been pretty intense. The Green Lantern mythos is a huge one, so I spent a lot of time on the front end researching stories and characters. And I'd never written a single-issue comic before, so there was a steep learning curve over the first few months. Lucky for me, I work with one of the top artists in comics in Bernard Chang, and I had great editors and, of course, Rob Venditti, to show me the ropes. Probably the biggest surprise was just how little space 20 pages is, and how challenging it is to tell a great story in that amount of real estate. And that challenge is all the bigger with a book like Corps that has a cast of about 7,200. Click here for the full interview and preview.
