I was looking at Green Lantern and thinking, “So there’s this character who has a green power ring and draws his power from his own sense of will,” and I had this revelation - I know somebody like that. I thought that it would be fun to try to create new characters that still fit within that existing world.

There’s such a rich history there, and a rich mythology. When I was looking at the character, what really appealed to me was the fact that there’s not just one Green Lantern, there are many Green Lanterns. I’ve been a comics fan for a while, but I was not super familiar with Green Lantern. What is your background with Green Lantern, or with these characters? Is this something that you’ve been a fan of for a while, or is this something that you were learning about the first time when you got the gig?

They said, “No, we’ve been reading your stuff and we like your stories, we’d like to see what you come up with.” So, it very much came out of the blue and it’s been a total dream ever since. The Hollywood Reporter talked to Lê about the project’s origins, and what it was like getting to contribute to the long-lasting Green Lantern mythology.Ĭan you talk about how the project got started? Were you approached by DC, or did you approach them?ĭC approached me.
