Sumi, before you swoon from shock, I don't know what that press release actually *means,* though. Maybe some stores are getting issues, but maybe just not as many as they normally do.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

All that means is that their entire run was ordered by distributors--stores ordered more than they normally would, because they're expecting it to sell.
You're probably fine, although I'd recommend having the store put one aside for you.

Remember, remember/the fifth of November/the Gunpowder Treason and Plot/I see no reason/Why Gunpowder Treason/Should ever be forgot.
That basically means that while intial orders were filled, the reorders took out the overprinting.
Show up early, you will get it...

It's been on my to-pull list for months now, so I'll be getting it.
After War Games, I'll probably drop some titles. But, of course, I'm also adding things I buy-but-don't-pull to the box, so I think it'll even out.

I know next to nothing about any of the Green Lanterns (Earth, Oa, or otherwise). Though I like Kyle in the TPBs of JLA that I've read. Anyway.
What I know is that Hal Jordan was the GL before Kyle or John. Also, isn't he the one that went crazy and kind of evil? And then he died, though I don't know how, and became Spectre, which I don't really even understand what Spectre is or what they (it? he?) do.
Having said that, Geoff Johns is writing it, and he has earned my undying loyalty from his work on TT. Therefore, I'm tempted to get GL: Rebirth.
Can anyone point me to a good source of GL backstory?

Hmm. You may be better off just asking here. The GL Wars get... UGLY.

I have a plan.
More on Hal
That pretty much sums it up, in a National Geographic/Cliff Notes kind of way. Hal Jordan was considered by many to be the standard by which a Green Lantern (and hero) was defined. So his fall was taken espeically hard by many in the DCU.
Also, Guy Gardner was a veeeery intersting GL as well.

I loved the early '90s JLA when Guy Gardner got all up in Batman's face, challenging him to go mano a mano. Bats calmly ignored Guy's flagrant display of testosterone, until Guy made the (incredibly stupid) mistake of saying "I'll even take the ring off," and took off the ring.
The second the ring was off Guy's finger, Bats dropped him with one punch.
Guy woke up half a day later, went looking for the ring under a desk, and accidentally stood up while under there, whacking his head again.
When he woke up, he was a nice guy. This lasted for quite a while, until he got whacked in the head again when Lobo popped into the JLA headquarters through a boom tube, and when he woke up again, he was back to his old jerkass self.
Funny, funny shit.
