When DC Comics' February solicitations came out, they announced that each issue would include an "Origins and Omens" back-up feature that would lay the groundwork for the Green Lantern: Blackest Night mini-series and other 2009 events.

Yesterday DC sent out the list of creative teams working on the back-ups, which for the most part are by the current writer ... I think the only exceptions are Birds of Prey (Kevin Van Hook), Justice League (Len Wein) and Justice Society (by incoming writer Matthew Sturges) :
