For those who are sitting at the edges of their seats to find out more about DC Comics' upcoming Absolute plans, another piece of the puzzle has just dropped. At the Jim Lee & Friends panel at San Diego Comic Con, Scott Snyder has just announced a new Absolute Green Lantern series helmed by Al Ewing and Jahnoy Lindsey. According to Snyder, "It's a complete reimagining of the property... as good as Immortal Hulk and the best things [Ewing] has ever done."

As for what fans can expect out of the series, the series will be a first contact story, and characters who have been named to be in the series so far are John Stewart, Hal Jordan, and Far Sector's Jo Mullein. Though the series is a "reimagining," the series will stay true to the idea that folks turn to will power to bring light to the darkness.

Though the pitch was immediately greenlit by DC editorial two years ago, there have been no details yet as to when fans can expect to be seeing the first issue hit shelves.

More to come.
