So it looks like Geoff Johns is remaining on the book. Per the AP article:

"It's building off the Green Lantern stories I've done since 'Rebirth,'" he told The Associated Press about the series, which is set to start in September and features art by Doug Mahnke and Christian Alamy. "Taking it in a very new direction that we've never seen in 'Green Lantern' before."

"Green Lantern" isn't the only title planned, either. DC is also going to launch three other Green Lantern-related books, too, including "Green Lantern: The New Guardians," written by Tony Bedard and illustrated by Tyler Kirkham and Batt. That will feature Kyle Rayner leading the team. There will also be the "Red Lanterns," featuring Atrocitus and his fellow Red Lantern Corps members facing off against injustice and serving as judge, jury and executioners. The book is being written by Peter Milligan with art by Ed Benes and Rob Hunter.

A third book will also launch, too, "Green Lantern Corps." DC says that title, written by Peter J. Tomasi and illustrated by Fernando Pasarin and Scott Hanna, will see familiar Green Lanterns Guy Gardner and John Stewart as part of an elite strike force aimed at keeping the peace.




So with the reboot, DC had the golden opportunity to finally get rid of the obvious redundancy of four Earth GLs, and they didn't take it? Talk about missed opportunities.

Oh of course they didn't get rid of the four Earth-bound GLs, they, like Ray Palmer and Barry Allen, are Geoff Johns' pet characters.

They ain't going anywhere, unlike the characters that Geoff works for regularly. Like Wonder Woman, for example.
