As they seem to do every year now, Entertainment Weekly has marked the start of San Diego Comic Con with an exclusive cover reveal of a popular movie franchise.

2 years ago it was Watchmen, last year was Iron Man 2, and this year they give us our first glimpse of Ryan Reynolds as Green Lantern.

First things first, the good news - it’s not as bad as the crappy airbrushed image we saw last month. And it’s also noticeably Green Lantern.

However….

It looks SUPER CG (which makes sense, as that’s what it is), and I’m not sure how I feel about the organic look of the suit. It kinda makes him look like someone stripped him of his flesh and painted it green.

But who knows, maybe it’ll look better in motion. I have a hunch we’ll see footage coming out of SDCC next week.

Green Lantern is due to hit theaters on June 17, 2011.

EDIT: Here’s a SUPER GIGANTIC higher-resolution version of the cover! Click for really big.
