According to the DC website there will be five new comic book prequels to the movie coming out in May 2011. These prequels will cover some of the main characters in the movie.
The characters to be covered as of now will be the following:
- Hal Jordan
- Sinestro
- Abin Sur
- Kilowog
- Tomar-Re
These prequels will be written by the "creative talents behind the blockbuster motion picture" (dccomic, n.d.a). These will be one-shot comics covering each character and what they where doing prior to the events that will occur in the movie. Writer of the current Green Lantern comics Geoff Johns will be helping in the creation of these comics as well as a few others.
The following is a list according to dccomic.com of writers and artists that will participate in making these new upcoming comics:
- Screenwriter Michael Goldenberg
- Producer/Screenwriter Greg Berlanti
- Producer Donald De Line
- Screenwriter of Superman and Batman Michael Green
- Screenwriter of Justice Society of America Marc Guggenheim
- Artist Fernando Dagnino (dccomic, n.d.d)
- Artist Joe Bennett (dccomic, n.d.c)
- Artist Cliff Richards (dccomic, n.d.e)
- Artist Karl Kerschl (dccomic, n.d.a)
- Artist Fabrizio Fiorentino (dccomic, n.d.c)
The comics will be released starting May 4th with the prequel covering Hal Jordan set to be released on May 25th. No cover art is currently available for these comics.
After I conclude this blog I would strongly suggest reading these prequels to clear up any remaining questions you may have over the characters before you see the movie. I personally will be buying all of these as soon as they are released.
The release dates have been published by dccomic.com:
- Hal Jordan - May 25th, 2011
- Sinestro - May 4th, 2011
- Abin Sur - May 11th, 2011
- Kilowog - May 11th, 2011
- Tomar-Re - May 18th, 2011
For now only these five have been cleared for release if more are coming that is currently unknown.
