We see a bit of the recruitment drive you just mentioned in #1.
Will that be a big focus of the comic going forward?
Trek is exactly right, yeah, except there’s no Prime Directive.

What can you tell us about that?
Hampton:He’s in an interesting spot, yeah.
He’s very much presenting like everything is okay, but internally, he’s working through some stuff.

Adams:He’s done some really wild stuff!
He has a construct of his dead sister, and that’s…
I don’t know, that seems strange to me!

But I think that realistically, people are going to go, “Should you do that?”
There’s certain things that are going to be really interesting to explore.
Its already out there that Hawkwoman is going to play a part in this book.

How does she fit in?
Adams:That’s a good question!
Well, first of all, the redesign by Fernando isgreat.

We’re also playing off our love of [animated series] Justice League Unlimited.
So how do we play with that, you know?
Adams:My first credit on television was Green Lantern: The Animated series.

Jeremy, you’ve a long history with Green Lantern, but how about you Morgan?
Are you a longtime fan?
I’ve always been a big fan of Green Lantern.

So yeah, getting the call to do this was like, “Oh wow!”
How did your collaboration come about?
Would you like to read it?"

Was that pitch anything like the Green Lantern Corps book that the two of you have made?
Hampton:No, not at all.
It’s something that maybe down the road I want to do, because I really liked the idea.
I hope this will generate a lot of fandom around each character.
You’re working with Fernando Pasarin on this book.
What do you enjoy about Fernando’s work?
Hampton:Getting pages from Fernando every couple days, its like, How did you do this?
There’s so much stuff going on even in the background.
It really does feel like this is a world that exists.
Adams:The amount of detail that Fernando puts into any individual panel is bananas.
It’s not like, we go, Hey, populate the background with all this stuff.
We’re mindful of time and energy, but then he comes out, and he shows us something.
Green Lantern Corps #1 is published by DC on February 12.
