It is up on the New Dawn thread.

Also, haven't heard from Munkiman lately. Are you still around bud?

If he isn't, then Red Hood will be removed and Justice League Unlimited will be put into a similar group system as the Lanterns. If that is the case, I'll take the first arc of that series, and lay the ground work for something major...

Sounds good to me.

Rise of the Lanterns
Writer: Tony Bedard
Artist: Doug Mahnke
Description: *Suggestions?*
Characters: Hal & John + The Entire Corps.


You mean a sentient being that has a geometric form? Like a living cube?

Kind of... I was thinking more like Pre-Crisis Bizarro... but however you like it. I dunno if I'd use the character, so I thought I'd just toss the idea out if someone else may enjoy fleshing out the notion.

[TJKernan]

By the way, please note, Lantern writers, Guy Gardner is not a Lantern, and has never been...

Okay, Rules for plotters to have a third series.

1. One of your titles MUST be a solo series. 3 team books is a lot of characters in one persons hands.

2. One of your titles Must be designated a limited/mini-series (likely the most experimental of the bunch). If that series maintains at least a medium (average) amount of readership over their (3-6 issues max) run then you have the option of making it an ongoing.

Also, if you are plotting 3 series, try and make at least one of them something more than just standard super-hero faire. More horror, magic, space, fantasy, etc, etc...is always welcome. We have a pretty good start to humor and light-hearted, but more of the above would be nice.

I actually have many cool series ideas and concepts. However 3 is the max for Dawn per plotter and 1 must follow the criteria above? I just wanted to clarify so I wont PM or post more than 3. Ideally I would want to start with 2 series and 2 minis.

whyy???????????

[WhitOro]

whyy???????????

Because he's an Outlaw now.

TJ on the series list, you should change the starting date of Challengers and Legionarie. Also, the character for Lanters I tought we agreed to be Hal & John as mains and the rest of the corps as co-prot.

[TJKernan]

whyy???????????

Guy is still in his early twenties, just a couple of years of college under his belt. He was recently discovered his Vuldarian heritage and powers.

Yeah, at the moment 2 series and 1 mini, though we also have at least one series, and likely several more coming, that are open series where anyone can pitch plots. We may add more for plotters maximum series as months progress, but I don't want five or six plotters with ten series each, I want more people plotting and involved.

[shaggydoo]

What is the available open series?

You can do everything that isn't those/with those characters.

With all this talk of Green Lantern, I should mention...

spoilers:

My first Action Comics story arc touches on aspects of the Green Lantern mythos, but doesn't use any Green Lantern related characters.

Here is my submission. It is a 3 issue Batman miniseries set in past, before the general public new of his existence. I know that there is an ongoing Batman, but since this a mini set in past I hope it can still be used.


BATMAN: URBAN LEGEND

Plotter: Shaggydoo Writer:Garth Ennis Cover/Artist:Jim Lee Variant Cover:Frank Miller
"Tragic Kingdom"
Bruce Wayne no longer exists.
Before Batman was known to the general public he was a myth, a shadow, a boogie man....an urban legend. No Batcave, no batmobile, no utility belt and no Robin, just a dark knight. As Matches Malone he is not a billionaire playboy, just a man on a mission. Using his extensive martial arts skills, survival training, intelligence, athleticism, criminal associations and vast resources to establish fear in the Gotham City underworld. He's walking a tightrope in the dark....without a net. Life as Bruce Wayne ends, but a legend begins.
(3 issue miniseries)
