Dave Johnson’s Cover For WAR OF THE GREEN LANTERNS: AFTERMATH #1 is Great!

DC has released the cover to War of the Green Lanterns: Aftermath #1, the first of a two part mini-series that explores the fallout from the current "War of the Green Lanterns" storyline that is running through the Green Lantern books. I don't care much for the storyline but wow, I love this cover by Dave Johnson!
 

War of the Green Lanterns: Aftermath #1 hits in July.

  1. looks ominous.  

  2. wow. :O

  3. Johnson is a master of comic book covers.

  4. i guess he finally took off the ring.

  5. I’ve dug War of the Green Lanterns so far.

  6. Wow. Nice.

  7. Excellent cover.  Love the finger print on the inside of the ring.  And that blood splatter…man, that’s really well done, especially the illumination of the stains.

  8. Stunning. Nobody holds a candle to Johnson when it comes to covers.

  9. almost makes me want to start reading some green lantern stuff, brilliant cover

  10. it really is a beauty! 

  11. @lifesend: I had not noticed the thumb print until you mentioned it. 

    I will also echo the support for War of the Green Lanterns.  I think the storyline so far is a solid 4 out of 5. 

  12. Beautiful cover. I was about to drop GL before War of the Green Lanterns started but so far it’s interesting enough for me to have stuck around. 

  13. Dave Johnson’s own words about the cover-
    “Got a phone call from DC comics and asked if I could do a rush job on a cover. I was about to say no because of my schedule but then the cover was described, “A GL ring with blood on it.” That’s it. Well, far be it from me to turn down an easy gig. Of course then it occurred to me that sometimes the simpler the cover the more it’s a pain in the ass to do something cool and interesting. Luckily, this wasn’t the case with this cover.”

  14. Its so simple but super great!

  15. GREAT COVER. Not what I would have expected from him.

  16. and when will we see the kind of hardcover collection this man’s art deserves?

  17. Who’s fignerprint is that? can anybody tell?

  18. My guess is that it’s Guy’s ring. He turned into a Red Lantern and he will be featured in the new Red Lantern on-going series.

  19. What could this mean?

  20. …………………………………………………………………………………………….EPIC!
