    They are but sparingly. Might be for the better honestly. They're still around

      Has larfleeze shown up at all lately?

      Barely, the only relevant ones have been Green and Yellow for a long time, and the latter have only appeared because Sinestro is their leader, the other Corps are barely ever seen.

      Has larfleeze shown up at all lately?

      He showed up in Venditti's in an issue or two, but that was it.

        You'd think at least the Reds would show up more. Blues have always been more supportive and I still don't know what Indigo's shit supposed to be.

          >You'd think at least the Reds would show up more.
          They showed up at the beginning of Jessica and Simon's Green Lanterns and... never again, maybe a came in the background but never as part of the story.
          >Blues have always been more supportive
          The problem with the blues is that they were literally made to help out the Greens in a war, but there isn't always a war, so they're all either just kinda in the background doing nothing or dead, recently Razer came back and announced their Power Battery has died, so they're kinda relevant again at least.
          >I still don't know what Indigo's shit supposed to be.
          Never elaborated upon that well, they force compassion onto evil heartless criminals and make them repent by making them join their cult.

    DC's overall world building is abysmal right now so all of the non-main stuff is sort of floating in the wind

    How come DC has never done an actual "rainbow lanterns" book? I mean literally a team that has exactly one member of each color. At least I don't remember one. When they do lantern teams they spam lots of same color ones and that's a bit boring, they all have the same damn powers.

    Seems the other writers and editors didn't like it. So when Johns left they were taken away along with the entities.

    The real answer is they probably don’t have any ideas for it that haven’t been done already. Personally I’ve always loved the concept, the only change I’d make is to the names of the entities, I don’t think Parallax, Ion, and Predator are good names FOR the entities, which makes sense since they originally were alter-egos for Hal, Kyle, and Carol respectively. Parallax (the fear entity) in particular should have a scarier sounding name.

    Does Geoff Johns still work there? Because all things GL were cereal man's baby.

      What’s the lore on the cereal man and ladderbro names?

      Geoff Johns has signed up exclusively for his new Ghost Machine imprint on Image, so no, he's not gonna work at DC anymore.

      What’s the lore on the cereal man and ladderbro names?

      I don't know about the other one but Johns is weirdly obsessed with cereal and used to tweet hundreds of pictures of cereal boxes. I think he's partially autistic.

        That’s actually kind of wholesome. Maybe he should try for a Magic Spoon sponsorship.

    >Some got of tired of constantly seeing the Rainbow Lanterns so much while Johns was writing, so they stopped using them
    >No new ideas on what to do with them I guess

    conceptually it's wholly owned by Geoff Johns, former president and CCO of DC Entertainment and, as far as you're concerned, the originator of the concept

    thought it had come from something earlier? guess you didn't stay on top of your paperwork

      The lore didn't go anywhere when Johns left.
