Comic Book Resources just published a preview of the upcoming Green Lantern Corps #1, written by Peter Tomasi (Of recent Batman & Robin infamy) and Fernando Pasarin on pencils. As with all DC’s New 52, I can only presume that it’s meant to be a jumping-in point for new readers unfamiliar with Green Lanterns, their background or any of their history. So let’s look at it while pretending to be one of those new readers, shall we?
We start with a man being locked into something called a “sciencell” against his will by uncaring jailors.
He is then evicerated…
…with another person being beheaded…
…and then a man in a dark leather uniform chops off another’s finger to retrive her jewelry.
And what is this tale called?
Oh, Peter Tomasi…
Green Lantern Corps #1 drops September 21st.
