green lantern talk

[madmarva]

I'm a GL fanatic. Just ask Black Knight. Hal's my favorite, but personally I've never met a GL that I didn't like.

I would love to see a series or mini on Alan Scott in his youth, but DC doesn't want to do any stories set during or before WWII because it reminds everyone how old the characters are.

I'm excited/anxious about Blackest Night series that's coming up. Don't care much for the zombie heroes thing, but with Johns writing it and Ivan Reis drawing it, there is no way I could pass it up

I'm a Hal Jordan fan. I was just talking to my nephew today about the corp.

Since he was the GL of my childhood, I always like the Hal Jordan version, but for some reason the Golden age character is my favourite GL.
Nowadays it seems everybody is a lantern, and I've lost count of whos what anymore. How many GL's does Earth need anyways?

I've been picking up Showcase Presents stuff, but I noticed this was coming out. I might have to start getting some color GL archives.....

The Green Lantern Chronicles Vol. 1
Amazon.com: The Green Lantern Chronicles Vol. 1 (Green Lantern (Graphic Novels)): John Broome, Gil Kane: Books

(Flash Chronicles are coming out this year, as well. Amazon.com: Flash Chronicles Vol. 1: Various, Carmine Infantino: Books)

Worth checking out are Alan Moore's Green Lantern Corps stories.

Geoff Johns has built many of his storylines around Moore's handful of stories. Blackest Night is based around a fantastic Abin Sur short drawn by Kevin O'Neil (League of Extraordinary Gentlemen).


His plant based GL was pretty cool as well.

They explain why earth has so many GL's is due to the fact that while OA is the center of the universe. Earth is in the center of the multiverse. And officially earth only has two right now Hal and John. Kyle and Guy are on OA as senior officers.

What do you guys think about the multi-colored lanterns? In theory it sounds pretty dumb, but the execution of all these characters really seems to work within the larger context.

I'm enjoying the story a lot...I think GL is the BEST Book DC has going right now.

Green Lantern #39 Comes out this week.

[samurainoir]

Just read the latest issue. It's amazing how each issue keeps ratcheting up the stakes as each of the colour lanterns are introduced. Nice to see the Controllers back. What ever happened to the Darkstars?

As far as the "What does Marvel have to rival GL" debate...
as far as simillar characters, I always thought the surfboard-weilding
SILVER SURFER had a simillar quality to GL---they even teamed them up
together ina TPB (that I never read) that looked real cool---

I DO have to agree that the whole origin of GL akin to the one
copied by THE GREATEST AMERICAN HERO was pretty cool and a a more relatable origin than a herald for a planet-eater.

[BlackKnight]

Surfer's a Flipp'in Slave.
Hal Jordan is the Ultimate Space Cop, with a Whole Corps or Police that inforce law & help protect the Universe. Hal Also Pull's a Massive amount of Whowee ,.. His ring can project whatever he thinks out of it.

Winner } The Green Lantern.

BTW....

Hal can Fly 2 F-15's Fighter Jets at the same time,.. While Having Sex in Mid Air with a Beautiful Woman. I seriously Doubt Surfer can even Pull that off.

Hal is the Chuck Norris of the DC Universe on a galactic level.

Hal is the Chuck Norris of the DC Universe on a galactic level.

Agreed.
I heard Hal Jordan Has An Extra Fist under His Mask that will kick your Arse.
