Emerald City ComiCon News

Last weekend marked the start of the major comic book convention season with Seattle, Washington.  Between Blackest Night and Brightest Day there was quite a bit of news between the Green Lantern panel and the DC Nation panel.  Here's a summary of the GL information that came out over the weekend.

• Alex DeWitt, Kyle Rayner's girlfriend who was killed and stuff in a refrigerator, will be making an appearance in this weeks Green Lantern Corps #46. 
• Dex-Starr, the red kitty of rage, is from Earth and will have his origin story told in an upcoming issue.  Dex-Starr and Krypto will indeed be going at it like cats and dogs.
• The New Guardians will be settling on Earth post Blackest Night, much to Hal's dismay.  Atrocitus finds the subways of New York to his liking.
• Larfleeze will get a Christmas story in which he discovers Santa Claus and wants to kidnap him for his own.  And Larfleeze's oath will be revealed.
• Expect Cowgirl to return to the forefront in Hal's life.

• The Green Lantern Corps black ops group will not be seen in the future.
• The previously announced co-feature for Green Lantern Corps has been cancelled.
• While no one confirmed the rumored Bruce Timm animated series, Geoff Johns answered an inquiry about the possibility with a sly grin and the word "...maybe!"
• Mark Waid curiously asked Johns if Hal would be traveling to the future, specifically the 58th century where Hal had adventures back in the 1961 with an alter ego of Pol Manning.  Geoff gave an affirmative response and indicated that Hal might be going there with Barry Allen.
• The deputized Lanterns may still have ties to their respective corps with Atrocitus hitting on Mera.  Expect Wonder Woman and Carol Ferris to have a blossoming friendship.
• Atrocitus vs. Lobo ---- 'nuff said!
