Announcing GREEN LANTERN ANNUAL #1

Every day this week, we've told you about a different special Annual issue you can look forward to this August. So why would today be any different?

GREEN LANTERN ANNUAL #1 reunites the acclaimed creative team of writer Geoff Johns and artist Ethan Van Sciver, who have previously collaborated on such titles as GREEN LANTERN: REBIRTH, GREEN LANTERN: THE SINESTRO CORPS WAR and THE FLASH: REBIRTH.

"Working with Ethan means things change, things are revealed and new characters rise," Geoff Johns revealed to THE SOURCE. "It's the madness of our collaborations that started all this and will continue it. The universe is a dangerous place. And it's about to get even more so..."

"GREEN LANTERN ANNUAL #1 not only brings the Black Hand story to a truly unexpected close, but sets up the major events that will heavily impact the entire Green Lantern franchise in a truly devastating way," continued editor Matt Idelson. "And there's no more appropriate pairing for this book than reuniting Geoff Johns with Ethan Van Sciver, given the Green Lantern history those two have under their belts."

GREEN LANTERN ANNUAL #1 will span across 48 pages. Look for the issue in stores on August 29th.

[Azrael]

This is a moment that Geoff Johns teased way before DC's New 52. The Indigo Tribe has always been a secretive, weird sister tribe to the others in the color spectrum. Now, we get the explanation. In an issue that is probably his best to date, Johns deepens the Green Lantern mythos through a character heavy story that has incredible implications for the Green Lantern universe.

In his essay "8 Basics of Creative Writing," Kurt Vonnegut wrote that every sentence must do one of two things: reveal character or advance the action. Johns is a true student of this advice as he does just that in this issue. Even the moments where no dialogue is spoken — like the panels showing Hal Jordan traveling through the forbidden forests to find the Indigo Central Battery — go far to help develop the characters.

In this issue, Hal Jordan discovers the secret of the Indigo Tribe, and its history has deep roots in the Green Lantern mythos. Abin Sur plays a vital role (as he has always done in Johns' universe), and when Hal meets Natromo, the Yoda like leader of the Indigo Tribe, panels are packed with dialogue to explain how the tribe came to be but the comic doesn't lose its fluidity. I found myself completely engrossed with the explanations and even though not all questions are answered, readers will have a good sense of how important this issue is for the future of the series.

Additionally, Johns gives a lot of time to Thaal Sinestro who becomes an Indigo Lantern in this issue. Over the course of this arc, Sinestro has been central to the story and whereas he played the role of the villain for years, seeing him utilized in a completely different way — a way that humanizes him — is evidence as Johns' skill as a writer, and as a Green Lantern fan.

Alex Sinclair's colors are fantastic in this issue. While most panels are a mellow violet, each one is vibrant with detail. Mahnke's pencil work is always good, but the inking work is truly what sells the setting. Given that the Indigo home world is much like a rain forest, the artists in the book sell the wetness of the world through small tricks like beads of water and vine covered caverns. They make the world come alive.

The pacing of the issue is near perfect with not a single panel wasted. If Johns and company can keep the storytelling this intriguing, I think the series will only get better and better leading to the cryptic "Third Army." In other words, I'm excited to see what Johns will do next.
