Bad idea. Won't work.

I hope that Sam Humphries will be able to make something good here with Simon and Jessica, and hopefully we will see a lot of cool green lantern stuff happen here and in Hal Jordan & the green lantern corps. I'm also really glad to have Geoff Johns writing the rebirth issue as well.

As for the story, what would the US government want with information on the Green Lantern Corps? They can't do anything with it unless they somehow gained the means to travel through the vast voids of space.

At least they know what's going on rather than knowing nothing at all.

Solid preview, looking forward to reading the full thing.

Just because its not your GL fanfiction doesn't mean its a bad idea. Just sayin.

Same feeling here. I am all for "Hal Jordan & the Green Lantern Corp" but I think this will not work... Simon and Jessica as GLs on Earth? meeh...

[cranger]

I'm not a big Green Lantern fan but this has actually got me interested. I have not read much with Simon since his introduction but I always liked him so seeing him get the spotlight will be worth checking out.

Also, they have no idea what they can do with it, or what they cannot, until they learn about it first.

I thought since Jessica and Baz are new they would train out in space and Earth would be given to the GLs who have seniority. It's kinda like working at a company and being passed over for vacation time because of new employees.

So excited for this book!!

Yeah, i'd rather have hal jordan earthbound than these two. But he'd still be fighting cosmic menaces on earth.

I think the opposite. GL Corps are facing a big threat with Sinestro Corps. Wouldn't be good for 2 rookies to handle, being on Earth with the JL is the best place for them.

"Tales of the superfluous Earth Lanterns".

I get that Simon and Jessica have fans, but this reeks of Johns pushing his pet Lanterns where I feel there are far more interesting Lanters to cover.

Simon's special because can heal the sick (and dead?) unlike any other Lantern, a forced plot point for Johns' later story. Would have made more sense to use Kyle.

Jessica's story is that she posessed the Power Ring, got rushed into the JL for no real reason (sorry, "training", cos every hero gets that from the JL), overcame the Power Ring kinda, with Cyborg's help, so... worthy to be a Green Lantern? Leaving her as Power Ring would have been much more interesting.

Bad idea. Won't work.

Based on what exactly?

[Den]

I tend to think the last thing we needed were more Earth born Green Lanterns but I respect the attempt at offering diversity without killing anyone to make room. This is nice, but it isn't really hooking me. I hope others enjoy it though, and that each Lantern book gets enough love that they can all be sellers. *knock on wood*

This. Jordan, Stewart, Rayner, Gardner, Scott now Baz and Cruz...am I missing any? Geoff Johns' "Rebirth" event should have been about simplifying the stupidities of their continuity, redundancies included, but instead now there will be like 5 Flash characters, two of whom are named Wally West, and at least 7 Lanterns, two of whom are vanity inclusions because there's nobody to say no to Johns. Too many, too similar, for me to possibly care.
