    Green Lantern 53. Blackest Night Aftermath

    Thoughts?

    My favourite scene was with Larfleeze and Luthor. Damn creepy how Larfleeze seems to be handling his Guardian. Luthor's advise to the Orange Lantern seems to be channeling the movie incarnations of his character.

    I will be interesting to see how successful they will be at milking Luthor as an Orange Lantern in the upcoming Action Comics.

    Do you think there is room for yet another Green Lantern title? Who's going to pick up Green Lantern Emerald Warriors?

    This issue seemed short and without a point.

    Sure the artwork was superb, but the entire book was only a stepping stone to other titles continuing the Brightest Day theme. I guess they needed to start it somewhere. It's good to see Larfleeze becoming a player in the DCU. I have no idea what Gardner was talking about, but I'm in for another GL title. That's a blind purchase. And with Syaf handling the art for the Corps book that's now on my list. I never really understood Gleason's appeal. He grew on me a little, but I'm still not a fan.

    I look for better issues in the future from the flagship GL book.

      I'm a little "GLed out".....I've been buying GL consistently since Rebirth so I'll continue to buy that. GL Corps I picked up since Blackest NIght started and it was pretty good so I may continue with that. But a 3rd title I'll have to say "no" to....

        I'd buy 10 GL Books a Month.
        I like the Idea of a 3rd Book ...
        Because if you ever do read Corps ..., even before Blackest Night ..., there's just so much crap always going on, and they most the time tell 3 different stories at once , with several different characters. ... The Closure for the Story arc's seem to go on further than needed too ..., in doing so.


        I don't have GL 53 yet ...
        I read a few Books over the week, from last week ...
        Brightest Day # 0 was 1 of them.
        Deadman's role seems like a very interesting 1 indeed.

            If we count Brightest Day, this is just about a weekly dose of Green Lantern oriented titles spinning out of Blackest Night.

                Well with all things considering ..., it is the Best Books from DC These days as of right now as a whole.

                Secret Six is still real strong imo ..., but not as strong of a following ...

                I like the Last Stand of New Krypton story right now ..., with the legion and Brainiac ...., I think it's great.


                A little worried about the new Direction of Boostergold ..., but think and Hope I will still enjoy it.

                Most everything else imo, is hit and Mis.

                  In July, DC's doing a series called Vanishing Point with Booster, Rip, Superman and Hal going into the past to try and rescue Batman. Jurgens is writing and drawing it. It looks pretty good to me.

                  I'm not sure how much GL will be in Brightest Day, but it's twice a month and then in August the 3rd GL title starring Guy comes on board. So that's 5 titles in 4 weeks of GL and White Lantern material.

                  I'm also looking forward to DC Universe Legacies and Batman Odyssey. No matter how wacky the story ends up being, I'm excited to see new Batman work by Neal Adams. Maybe, he'll do a GL/GA story next.

                  I really liked the Carol/Hal/ Sinestro part of GL 53 and the Luthor/LarFleeze page was pretty funny.

                  While I'm interested in the New Guardians, I really wish Hal didn't have to share his book with them. But I have a feeling Johns interest in writing that group of characters is why he's staying on GL now and not moving on to something else, which is a good thing.

                    Oh I agree the GL stuff is top-notch but I think they're going to stretch themselves too thin...of course they will probably hit the well repeatedly until it runs dry or at least 'til the movie comes out.

                    I haven't read Secret Six in ages and I've been out of the Supes loop for a while, but I guess I should get back in as Brainiac and the Legion interests me.

                    Booster Gold is a favorite as always but with Juregns leaving I too am worried. The good thing is he's handling Booster on the Time Masters series Terry mentioned.

                    I wanted to mention JMS' work on Brave and the Bold....I think this is really a hidden gem for DC....worth checking out.

                      Yes, I hope JMS stays on Brave and the Bold because you can count on a good, one-and-done read each month.

                      The Zatanna, Wonder Woman and Batgirl night-on-the town issue is excellent. When you start to realize where it's going and what Zatanna is up to, you know that Johns isn't the only DC writer at the moment who knows how to make continuity and great stories from the past work for him.

                      I really have high hopes for Superman and Wonder Woman.

                      Anthony, I know Superman hasn't been your cup of tea of late, but be sure to check out the free comic book day issue of War of the Supermen. Retailers got their copies last Wednesday, and it's a pretty good throw down between Superman (in costume) and Zod. Eddie Barrows' art looks sharp to me.

                        See man ..., I don't think so at all ..., There's just way too many characters that interest me in that world ..., and I look at all the Batman titles right now ..., and I can't stand any of them, with the exception of Red Robin, the Ras arc is Fantastic.

                        There's just more with GL ...., When it was all slammed in Corps ..., there were like 3to4 different stories being told, between the different Lanterns ..., that took 7 to 10 issues to rap ..., with 3 books, I would expect them to maybe go threw arc's of 3 to 5 Books , and deliver the stories a bit faster.

                        I haven't read Secret Six in ages and I've been out of the Supes loop for a while, but I guess I should get back in as Brainiac and the Legion interests me.

                        Some of my Best books right now ....
                        The Last Stand on New Krypton Story Rocks !
                        I've never left the Six...., It's so Awesome.

                        I wanted to mention JMS' work on Brave and the Bold....I think this is really a hidden gem for DC....worth checking out.
                        I buy Brave & Bold here and there ..., been getting into the cartoon 1 too.
                        I also really like Teen Titans. I think it really picked up as of late ..., and I think it's Bennett that's been drawing it ..., and I love his work, and the Ravager back-up story.


                        Awesome collection Terry !!!
                        I see you got some of those con figures, good deal.
                        There's some great GL merchandise comming out this yr Too !!!

                              Yeah that issue was just freakin' great, got done reading it and I was blown away...really really good story!

                              I really have high hopes for Superman and Wonder Woman.
                              Me too....James Robinson on Supes and Gail Simone on WW have left me cold...but I'll be getting back into the mix with JMS on board.
