I was just going through the April Solicits on Newsarama and a few things caught my eye that I thought were worth mentioning.
First off. The GL solicit features Hal on the search for Agent Orange, as the Orange Lanterns story gets into gear. However there’s a specific mention of Hal struggling to get to grips with his new power ring. This throws the current Rage of the Red Lanterns arc in a new light.
I’d assumed it was a no-brainer that Hal was going to knock back the Blue ring. Maybe now we can guess he’s going to accept Ganthet’s offer? I must admit, I really didn’t think Geoff would be breaking up the four musketeers, and would ensure they all stayed GLs for this storyline.
I’m a sucker for the space stuff in the DCU, so I’m looking forward to Strange Adventures. However, seeing Bizarro in the solicit got me thinking. Since its a plot point in the Superman books that he’s locked up in the Phantom Zone, and the people of Bizzaro World are wondering where he is, how’s he kicking around this book (or Rann-Thanagar Holy War for that matter)?
The post-New Krypton solicits look interesting as well, but I’m prepping a full post for the New Krypton stuff, so I’ll skip them for now 
The Flash: Rebirth is, of course, a must-buy that month, however something I find very interesting is the solicit for the Impulse: Mercury Falling trade, also being released in April. Could that be a hint as to something in Rebirth?
The Green Lantern Corps solicit also sounds good. The idea of a riot and breakout in the Sciencells is an interesting one, and should make for an action-packed book. Slightly less interested in the Sodam Yat/Arisia/Daxam storyline (I’ll be intrigued as to why they’re the only two GLs going though). Its interesting to note that Sinestro is going to Korugar in search of his daughter. Does this hint that she’s not a GL and could be someone new, or should we read into the fact that Natu’s name doesn’t appear in the rest of the solicit?
