All in all, Green Lantern Annual #1, written by Geoff Johns and pencilled by Ethan Van Sciver and Pete Woods, is one of the most exciting books to come out of the DC New 52 so far. Faint praise, perhaps, but this felt like the build-up to Johns' previous GL events like "Sinestro Corps War"…

Last week's Green Lantern Corps #8, written Pete Tomasi and illustrated by Fernando Pasarin and Scott Hanna, featured an interesting discussion among the Alpha Lanterns regarding what to do about John Stewart in light of his killings of a fellow Green Lantern who seemed close to revealing Corps secrets under torture by the Keepers.

At The Atlantic today, Hans Villarica interviews Dr. Roy Baumeister, one of the psychologists chiefly responsible for the ego-depletion or "muscle" theory of willpower. Under this conception, people have a limited amount of willpower at any given time; as they use it, it is depleted in the short term but strengthened in the long term (just like a muscle…

Hmm. Here's Geoff Johns, discussing the future of the Green Lantern book with Vaneta Rogers at Newsarama: Nrama: Going back and looking at the relaunch, I know everyone talked about it being a "soft" reboot and pointed quite often to Green Lantern and Batman as the places where not a lot of changes took place,…

My Green Lantern and Philosophy co-editor Jane Dryden and I have a blog post at my Psychology Today blog about what the Green Lantern Corps can teach us about cooperation and tolerance, especially in light of conflicts over values. Check it out! UPDATE: The Globe and the Mail also picked up the piece, under a…

The interview I did with my co-editor Jane Dryden about Green Lantern and Philosophy: No Evil Shall Escape this Book just appeared at the Los Angeles Times' Hero Complex blog. (It also includes a shameless plug for another new book of mine, Kantian Ethics and Economics: Autonomy, Dignity, and Character.) Thanks to Jevon Phillips for…

This morning we hear from DC's The Source about the four new #1's coming in the Green Lantern world, including two existing titles and two new ones (and no Emerald Warriors), shifting the creative teams slightly but with only one apparent and minor change in status quo (Kyle's new role): GREEN LANTERN #1 Geoff Johns…
