I liked Peter Milligan's work on <a href="http://collectededitions.blogspot.com/search/label/Infinity%20Inc." rel="nofollow">Infinity Inc.</a> and I'm excited for a "Vertigo writer" to take on the DC Universe, so I'm eager to read Red Lanterns and also Justice League Dark.collectededitionshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14698269790653953645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10945794.post-5144016258186289192011-10-19T00:39:46.289-05:002011-10-19T00:39:46.289-05:00I hear you; I'm not following Red Lanterns des...I hear you; I'm not following Red Lanterns despite really wanting to know what's up with the entire GL universe because, sadly, I just don't enjoy it. I do have high hopes for New Guardians, though, and Bedard sounds really excited for it in interviews. It has every opportunity to be its own beast, rather than structured around the perma-event that GL became toward the end of the "old era" that his Corps stories seem to have been trapped in.

If what you suggest is correct, maybe Bedard can forge more of his own path with the DC Relaunch book New Guardians, but chances are I'm only giving that so many issues before, if the trend is the same as Bedard's Corps work, I just let it go. Can't be picking up books I don't think I'll enjoy, even if they're part of a title "family" that I read.collectededitionshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14698269790653953645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10945794.post-24371234028970981562011-10-17T20:22:33.678-05:002011-10-17T20:22:33.678-05:00I don't remember where I read it, but somewher...I don't remember where I read it, but somewhere I saw Bedard insinuating that he was basically forced to do the alpha-lantern plot, so maybe this is an example of editors forcing writers down a certain path that limits creativity? He is sort of the low-man on the GL totem pole, I assume, since Johns is Johns and Tomasi was given Batman and Robin. Maybe his stuff is pushed out quicker as a way to capitalize on GL's success by adding another book (a la Batman: The Dark Knight)?New DC Fanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12294842975144637862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10945794.post-90778334594602589172011-10-17T15:02:51.147-05:002011-10-17T15:02:51.147-05:00You got it -- all part of the Collected Editions s...You got it -- all part of the Collected Editions service.
