Last week, news hit that the nine year run of Geoff Johns on Green Lantern (ranked our #5 best superhero run of the decade) would be coming to an end. With that, it seems, DC Comics is completely shuffling their Green Lantern line with new creative teams on board the four existing GL titles -- Green Lantern proper, Green Lantern Corps, Green Lantern: New Guardians, and Red Lanterns.
In addition to the shuffle, they will be adding an all-new series to the line-up: Larfleeze! Nearly an instant fan-favorite when he was introduced in the lead-up to Blackest Night, everyone's favorite (and only) Orange Lantern finally gets the spotlight all to himself. I'm sure he wouldn't have it any other way.
In an announcement to MTV, DC revealed these new teams:
- Green Lantern by Robert Venditti and Billy Tan
- Green Lantern Corps by Josh Fialkov and Bernard Chang
- Green Lantern: New Guardians by Justin Jordan and Brad Walker
- Red Lanterns by Josh Fialkov and Alessandro Vitti
- Larfleeze by Keith Giffen and Scott Kolins

Not for nothing, but we made some pretty sweet predictions regarding this news on last week's IGN Assemble! podcast.
The new line-ups will begin in June.
