DC has announced that it will launch an ongoing Red Lantern comic series, to be written by Peter Milligan, in 2011.  Red Lantern will build on concepts introduced in the core Green Lantern series by DC CCO Geoff Johns, who asked Milligan to write the book. 

According to Milligan, the new series will focus first on the far side of the prison planet Ysmault, where the story will explore why and how the rage of Atrocitus remains all-consuming.
