"Geoff Johns has spoken out about the upcoming relaunch of the DC Universe and what it means for his Green Lantern series. Earlier this week DC Comics announced that it would launch 52 brand new series in place of its current publishing lineup from September, including a general reshuffle of the Green Lantern line. Johns will pen a new Green Lantern series alongside artists Doug Mahnke and Christian Alamy, Peter J. Tomasi will write Green Lantern Corps with Fernando Pasarin and Scott Hanna, Tony Bedard will write New Guardians with Tyler Kirkham and Batt, and finally, Peter Milligan will launch Red Lanterns with artwork from Ed Benes and Rob Hunter. &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s building off the Green Lantern stories I&amp;#039;ve done since Rebirth,&amp;quot; Johns told AP. &amp;quot;[We&amp;#039;re] Taking it in a very new direction that we&amp;#039;ve never seen in Green Lantern before.&amp;quot; When questioned as to where he intends to take the series, Johns wouldn&amp;#039;t reveal any plot details but did suggest he had big plans in mind. &amp;quot;If I didn&amp;#039;t think I had a great idea for Green Lantern I wouldn&amp;#039;t have relaunched the book,&amp;quot; he explained. &amp;quot;I would move on if I didn&amp;#039;t think I had a great plan for it.&amp;quot; The final issue of the current Green Lantern volume is due out later this month, and Johns hinted that there may be a few teasers as to the future of the franchise. &amp;quot;Green Lantern #1 picks up a few months later in a very different space than we are now,&amp;quot; the writer added. &amp;quot;When you see the cover you&amp;#039;ll know exactly what I&amp;#039;m talking about. The DC Universe relaunch begins in Justice League #1, out on August 31. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
