Green Lantern Recharge Talkback/Discussion

[DrVenkman90]

So what did you guys think of number 1. I personally think anything Johns does is gold.

[TheCorpulent1]

I think the mini is much more Gibbons than it is Johns behind the pen, but I liked it. Lots of geat moments, like Guy's usual boasting, Kyle getting the respect he deserves from the Guardians, the rebuilt Oa looking all badass, the newbie recruits complaining about the yellow thing, etc. And some of the new recruits look very interesting, especially the Rannian and the Korugar chick who quit but will inevitably be back. :)

The only minor drawback was that Gleason's art was a bit dodgy in some places. I have to admire him for some of the angles he chooses, though. That tight panel with the upward perspective on Hal's face behind the oxygen mask in particular was absolutely perfect for the mood of that scene.

[KingOfDreams]

I was kind of disappointed. I can't help but compare this and the ongoing GL series to Rebirth...and both just aren't as good.

[RockSP]

I liked it. Kinda confused by the 7400 member thing though. Why so many if there are only 3600 sectors? Back-ups or something?

[Lackey]

I liked it. Kinda confused by the 7400 member thing though. Why so many if there are only 3600 sectors? Back-ups or something?


it's 7200... 3600 x 2... two green lanterns for every sector. Hal and John are the two for Earth's sector.

[RockSP]

it's 7200... 3600 x 2... two green lanterns for every sector. Hal and John are the two for Earth's sector.

Okay. Is this something new? I know there were always alternates...Guy and then John for Hal back in the day...but I don't recall them always having two active for each sector.

[BrianWilly]

Nope, it's different from the past. Obviously, the Guardians are trying something new. You'll notice that they have a new addendum to the ring thing: you can't use it in direct violation of the Guardian's code. They have to be more careful, now, learning from past mistakes.

Here's my post word for word from the Bought/Thought thread:
Green Lantern: Recharge
I very rarely buy individual issues. Even for my most favorite comics, I collect TPBs because it's much easier for me to do so. Once in a purple moon, however, I like something so much that I'm just compelled beyond all logic to just buy the dang thing on the spot. This was one of those times.

I loved this. It was pretty much the Guy Gardner show through and through, but to me this is also the continuation of Kyle's story. We all know how thoroughly shafted Kyle got last year, with the crappy ending to his solo run through crappy Jade whoring around etc etc etc, and one of the worst things about it was how his story was all of the sudden over. All his hard work, all his triumphs and failures, all of it just stopped.

To me, this is the next chapter finally come: The Corps is finally back, something Kyle tried to do over and over again throughout his adventures, and a very large part of it is due to him. Seeing the Guardians of the Universe lick his boots and call him the Torch-Bearer was like seeing years of hard work finally compensated.

Meanwhile, we get a really good feel for the new GL Corps and its members. Seeing gigantic squid-monsters and robots with GL uniforms was a part of what made the GL Corps so fun in the first place, and it's nice to revisit that. And yay for Mogo reference.

Oh, and Guy Gardner's ass is hairy.

(10/10)

[Sentry2005]

i thought it was good. on par, if not better, than the current GL solo series. but it could be because i love guy gardner as a character. always has been my joint fave green lantern (come on... we all love alan scott :D), so i like that the focus is on him in this series. well, him, kyle and kilowog :D

[glfan83]

Well, not everyone loves Alan...Trust me, I've had to defend him multiple times to crazy, obsessed Hal-fanboys.

[SuGarRush]

well heres the thing, I think Sentry is a great character. Alan Scott is a great person. I love his role as a father figure in the JSA. Think he does a great job, and as a founding member I don't think anyone could fill his boots...
that being said, I will never call him Green Lantern.

[BrianWilly]

SentrySentinel:p.

[Varient]

So what did you guys think of number 1. I personally think anything Johns does is gold.
I enjoyed it overall even if my fav didn't make an appearance.

I'm hoping the Soap opera doesn't continue much longer,... Guy Gardner was a TEACHER prior to being a Lantern, A Power Ring USED to be able to protect the wearer from Black Holes, The JOB USED to be Voluntary.

Whoops,... My pickiy cynicism is showing.

[DrVenkman90]

At least Hal was there, he is the best.

[TheCorpulent1]

That must suck for you, then. Calling him "That guy who has more of a right to the name I won't call him than anyone who's come after him, since he was its original bearer" is a real mouthful to recite every time Alan appears. :(

[SuGarRush]

Sentinel:p.

whups! lol, and I now I feel dumb....

[SuGarRush]

That must suck for you, then. Calling him "That guy who has more of a right to the name I won't call him than anyone who's come after him, since he was its original bearer" is a real mouthful to recite every time Alan appears. :(

More right to the name?
If you mean the first human to be a member of the Green Lantern corp, to wear the uniform, carry the corp issued ring, report to the oans, and be assigned to this sector, then yes, that's what i define a green lantern by. GL is a job title, like Police Officer, or Special Agent.
Anybody could call themselves Police Officer, but unless they are actually hired by the city, they aren't one.
Just my opinion.

[Lackey]

you ever met a retired teacher? sometimes they're the most adamantly against teaching than others who don't know what they're getting into.

just because the power ring has the potential to protect its wearer from black holes doesn't mean that particular new recruit new how to use it to protect himself... he was a newbie. If it had been Kyle or Hal, they probably would've survived having had enough experience to handle the situation.

the Job is still voluntary... where did you get the idea that it wasn't?

[Nick Eastwood]

I liked it, and I just became a Gleason fan. I love his facial expressions. Awesome.

I want to see more Kyle.

The only thing I'm getting tired of, though I know it's become a central part of the GL mythos is this whole "Fear" thing. After it being said a bunch of times, it just seems tired and cheesy.

I'd like to see Somanik Natu (Korugar) grow as a character. I think, though I haven't been a long-time DC/GL reader, that seeing someone like a Korugarian become one of the greatest GLs of all time, bringing honor back to her people, that would be such a great and impacting thing to reach for.

[TheCorpulent1]

Green Lantern is a title for a superhero that Alan Scott invented on Earth, though. He's this planet's first GL and he's proven himself to be one of the most respectable, powerful, and enduring heroes over the 50 or so years he's been active. He's been recognized by the Guardians as an honorary member of the Corps, as well, so it'd actually be more like a private detective who did the exact same job as the "real" cops, but he did it so well that the state actually sought him out in order to grant him the title of "police officer." Hal, John, and Kyle have all turned to Alan for advice and support throughout the years, too.

[Lt. Figgnuts]

Would all of you guys recommend the new Green Lantern series?

I've been wanting to get into the character on a monthly basis, but I'm not sure if the new ongoing is any good.

[DrVenkman90]

Its my second favorite comic. Its really good. I highly suggest you getting it. You could still pick up the first issues on ebay.

[TheCorpulent1]

I'd recommend it. It's a pretty good series, although it's got a tendency to be late already.

[yenaled]

Just picked this up, completly loved it. I agree it is definatly more Gibbons than Johns, but you can tell Johns has been asked about it. (At least we didn't see Hal punching someone).

Kyle seems a lot more himself in this, and Guy is written perfectly. I can't wait to see where this is going too, maybe the return of the Controllers.

I also love the fact that Mogo will be in the next issue.

[Lt. Figgnuts]

Thanks for the recommendations. I'll have to see if I can get my hands on the first issue...

[Unthinkable]

I also love the fact that Mogo will be in the next issue.

Mogo is sweet. Has anyone read the Alan Moore story he wrote about him? I loved it. :up:

I'm also really, really happy this is turning into a ongoing with the same creative team.

[Sentry2005]

Would all of you guys recommend the new Green Lantern series?

I've been wanting to get into the character on a monthly basis, but I'm not sure if the new ongoing is any good.

i'm guessing you mean the solo series. i get it. its ok. i really enjoyed the first three issues. issue four was kinda... not up to par i guess. but if you can find the issues i'd pick it up. its a good read, just not kevin smith/green arrow good :)

[Rasmon Redux]

Bats gettin mooned... classic stuff there! :P

[LadyVader]

^ It is?!
Excellent, because despite myself, I really liked the first issue. That Guy, what a maroon! :)
I actually care about the recruits, especially the doctor chick since we really do need a strong female Green Lantern. My favourite part was Kyle saying goodbye to the Justice League. It was sweet, because I kinda got the feeling they forgot all about him. I was disappointed however that Flash wasn't there. :(
Really looking forward to the second issue.

[The Black Mask]

geoff johns is a awesome writter. i've yet to read Recharge though.

[Dr.Fear]

ive read it. pretty great issue. batman getting mooned and saying guy needed a shave cracked me up.

[Steel Spider]

I love this page from the book:

Hal, John, and Kyle have all turned to Alan for advice and support throughout the years, too.

Not to mention that the Hal character was a re-imagining of the Alan Scott character. Scott was the original Green Lantern (as in back in the 1940's) and has about a strict code of honor as the "modern" GL's. I am glad that in the pages of JSA, it shows that even Superman holds Alan in high regard. In short, without the Golden Age GL, there would have been no Hal Jordan GL. Thus, I find it completely appropriate that Geoff Johns finally wrote him as claiming the title of Green Lantern and getting rid of the "Sentinel" name.

All that having been said, I am a GL Hal Jordan fan. You shouldn't diss Alan Scott for being the original Green Lantern. He owned the name for a couple of decades, and is finally getting his due. Likewise, I am glad that Hal is back as GL and overjoyed that the GL Corps is back to kick @$$ and take names.

[mathhater]

I loved the book. Especially the way it spanned it's tones...it went from humorous (Guy's farewell to Batman...priceless) to dark...(the foreshadowing to the Crisis..."the whole universe is about to change.") As of right now, it looks like a great set up to what's to come in the DCU...especially with the need for a larger corps...it should be a good series.

[JewishHobbit]

Okay, so is this a mini to be followed by an ongoing or is it just an ongoing? I'm not sure and I've hears both ways.

[SuGarRush]

i really liked it. It was good to see Kyle and Guy get recognition for all they have done, without stealing Hal's thunder.
I think Kyle would obviously make a better instructor than Hal, he's more patient, less cocky, and I dunno, I just think he would.
Don't get me wrong, I still think Hal would tool Kyle, I just think Kyle is a much better choice for instructor that's all.

[TheCorpulent1]

Okay, so is this a mini to be followed by an ongoing or is it just an ongoing? I'm not sure and I've hears both ways.
I think they're taking a page out of Marvel's book and seeing how the mini does first. Then they'll decide if they want it to be an ongoing. I don't know how they'll handle numbering and stuff, if the ongoing would continue the mini's numbering or get a new #1 or whatever.

Its a ongoing for sure, in the back of the issue, in the preview thing, its says so. :up:

[TheCorpulent1]

Does it? I missed that.

[DrVenkman90]

Yeah it is!!!! It says in the back it is coming in eary 2006. Hopefully Geoff Johns is writing it. He's my favorite writer in the world.

[Dr.Fear]

BTW does this issue happen before the trinity broke up or after?

[Lackey]

Does it? I missed that.

you were right, though... it was originally only a mini. Based on orders, they must've decided to make it ongoing since they were already leaning that way.

[TheCorpulent1]

That is awesome. I hope they drop the "Recharge" part when it becomes an ongoing, though. And hopefully Gibbons will come back to write it and Johns will keep himself available for consultation.

[LanternFan]

I thought it was great & I'd love to see it as aan on-going title. The old GL Corps Quarterly was awesome too & I hated to see that go. There's so much potential when you've got 7200 GLs to pick from/make up.

I loved seeing Bats getting the pressed ham from Gardner too :up:

[Manwithoutpeer]

I'm also really, really happy this is turning into a ongoing with the same creative team.

Sounds great to me! I really hope they leave it in the hands of a good writer. These characters have so much potential.

[Manwithoutpeer]

When does the next issue come out?

[Dwarf lord]

Yeah it is!!!! It says in the back it is coming in eary 2006. Hopefully Geoff Johns is writing it. He's my favorite writer in the world.

Geoff Johns said in an interview that Gibbons will be taking the book solo for the ongoing.

[The Red Skull]

BTW does this issue happen before the trinity broke up or after?

The good guys are smiling... I think it's safe to say the book's set pre-Sacrifice.

[TheCorpulent1]

Recharge was supposed to start coming out a month or two before it actually did, wasn't it? Rebirth and the GL monthly's delays held it back, if I recall correctly. So yeah, I'd say it's before "Sacrifice" or maybe even during "Sacrifice," since I doubt Kyle, Guy, and Kilowog would care enough about Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman's little spat to rush back to Earth while they're out dealing with interstellar threats.

[bluelantern3]

from any official comic book or rpg product, does any person know the duration of a GreenLantern power ring effect regardless of whether it is a GreenLantern corps power ring or just any Green Lantern power ring wielded by any being? when a GreenLantern is willing any power or any ability of the ring to activate, how long will the effect last?

[Lackey]

traditionally, it's 24 hours...then the ring needs to be recharged.

an construct can last that long or less if the GL wants

[bluelantern3]

thanks for your answer, Lackey. that means If I am playing in the DC-Heroes rpg, at will, i can will my green power ring to change to a rich, bright blue color and i can will it to stay as a rich, bright blue for 24 hours and i can call myself BlueLantern3? during the same 24 hr. period, As BlueLantern3 with a blue power ring, can I still use the other powers and abilities that the power ring has?

[LanternFan]

thanks for your answer, Lackey. that means If I am playing in the DC-Heroes rpg, at will, i can will my green power ring to change to a rich, bright blue color and i can will it to stay as a rich, bright blue for 24 hours and i can call myself BlueLantern3? during the same 24 hr. period, As BlueLantern3 with a blue power ring, can I still use the other powers and abilities that the power ring has?

You CAN, but it's sort of impratical. In addition to the willpower you'd have to exert to generate constructs you'd have to exert yourself even further to make it all blue. Power rings aren't like magic wands in Harry Potter books. They require a constant effort from the wearer to create & maintain constructs & effects like flight. The Green might last for 24 hours, but can you maintain mental focus on any one thing for that long? I doubt it.

[bluelantern3]

yes, but i thought it was automatically lasting for 24 hrs. once i will the alteration of green to blue. changing the color of the ring and the energy-color is just one or two of the many things that the green ring can do, so why would i have to maintain concentration? it would be like a Green Lantern who uses the flight power or ability and at the same time, the GL is activating other ring powers and abilities. when a GL is using the ring to activate a power or an ability that is automatic or unconscious, no concentration is required--am i correct?

[glfan83]

Actually, to my knowledge, a Green Lantern cannot change the color of whatever they do from green to blue because the color green is the corresponding spectrum color for willpower. It is assumed (although never stated in the comics) that blue has a spectrum all its own. So a Green Lantern cannot turn himself or any of his constructs blue because it contradicts the basis of the ring's source of power.

[Lackey]

yeah, I was gonna mention that... GL rings can only create green constructs. If there were a blue power ring in existance, then you could create blue constructs.

[yenaled]

This confuses me actually; I know Green Lanterns can only create green constructs, but in Circle of Fire, Kyle subconsiously created 5 Green Lanterns and a villain - Oblivion.

Granted these constructs were actually consious beings and far more complex than any construct before, but they were still constructs and they were not green. They looked like real people.

You can argue it was because it was created from a lot of power - the whole battery. But it still negates the "all constructs are green" idea.

[glfan83]

Again, I'm not terribly familiar with Circle of Fire, but as far as I know, although they were technically constructs, they were really more like fragmented aspects of his personality than they were standard constructs. I'll do some more research and see what I can dig up...

[Manwithoutpeer]

Anyways...to answer my own question:

Issue #2 does come out this week!!

[Lackey]

This confuses me actually; I know Green Lanterns can only create green constructs, but in Circle of Fire, Kyle subconsiously created 5 Green Lanterns and a villain - Oblivion.

Kyle is the exception because he was feeding off of Parallax's power still left over in the sun after it was reignited.
If you remember before Kyle became Ion, he was able to do some fantastic things with his ring and he was able to make his constructs look completely realistic. Because of the amount of power he was feeding off of... it was more than just the power of his ring.

[Feral Wolverine]

Lanterns can change the color of their constructs, its not just Kyle. Check the book of Oa's history of the rings.

[LanternFan]

Yeah, In Emerald Dawn 2 Sinestro created a holograpghic construct of Hal in full, living color. So it's like I said before. You could have a power ring & make everything blue, but it'd take more sustained effort than just using the default color.

[Kitsune]

If you want to have a character called BlueLantern, just give him powers like Green Lantern, but have them be blue. Say he named himself Blue Lantern as a tribute. I created a lantern like character for Champions with blue energy constructs and called her Neon.

[glfan83]

It just seems kinda hokey to me that a Lantern can change the color of the construct but I guess with something that is supposed to be the most powerful weapon in the world, anything is possible (with enough willpower, of course). All I know is that green constructs would, in theory, be the most effective constructs that a Lantern can make because they would be pure, channeled willpower, not from any other spectrum...


*head hurts*

[Feral Wolverine]

Nope, it's different from the past. Obviously, the Guardians are trying something new. You'll notice that they have a new addendum to the ring thing: you can't use it in direct violation of the Guardian's code. They have to be more careful, now, learning from past mistakes.

Here's my post word for word from the Bought/Thought thread:


That's not new, the rings prevented the wearer from killing and the Guardians could shut the ring down if a GL went bad. That's one of the biggest flaws of Emerald Twilight.

[RockSP]

This confuses me actually; I know Green Lanterns can only create green constructs, but in Circle of Fire, Kyle subconsiously created 5 Green Lanterns and a villain - Oblivion.

Well they create their uniforms with the ring and they are multi-colored...

[glfan83]

Well they create their uniforms with the ring and they are multi-colored...

Well, that's true...interesting...I suppose the extent of the Green Lantern rings' powers hasn't really been categorized yet. It's one of those things that has a base set of abilities and then writers are able to stretch and mold those abilities based on the situation.

[LadyVader]

I believe in that particular situation it was really Kyle's Ion powers manifesting for the first time. As Ion Kyle could do virtually anything, even work in Technicolor. :)

[Guy Gardner]

So anyways, back on topic....

I thought issue 2 was ok...I'm really hoping something longstanding comes out of this mini-series. I know that it's already going to be a regular book, but I'm talking about someithing in the way of a permanent foil for the Corps. Also, I can't be the only one already sick of the Rannian and Thanagarian getting teamed up together. It's like something out of an awful 80's cop movie, and I hope it really impacts the story in a greater sense than "these two can work together, why can't their people?"

And one more thing, I'm not the only one really confused by why Kyle saw Alex on Mogo, am I? Did that make no sense to anyone else?

[RockSP]

I don't know jack about Mogo so I can't say if it was senseless or not. He/it was talking about 'making the pilgrimage that all lanterns make'...is this something that's been shown before or an upcoming plot point?

About the Rannian and Thanagarian thing...why is old dude from Thanagar a lizard?

As for the future...hopefully John will eventually meet Soranik...I want to see how they will interact since he was married to the last Korugan GL.

[TheCorpulent1]

I don't think visions of one's long-dead significant other are a normal occurrence on Mogo...

[Lackey]

That's not new, the rings prevented the wearer from killing and the Guardians could shut the ring down if a GL went bad. That's one of the biggest flaws of Emerald Twilight.


was that something that was established post-crisis, though?

[BrianWilly]

Just read issue number 2...pretty good. Nice characterizations, action, dialogue, etc. The whole ornery "You question your orders, you LEAVE!" attitude is feeling a bit uncomfortable and outdated for this new Corps -- isn't that what led to them being destroyed in the first place? -- and it's nice to see that the senior Lanterns aren't giving a damn about that.

I had hoped that the ex-girlfriend of Kyle's that would be popping up in this issue would be Donna, since they had a lot of unresolved history together, and this whole "Alex, you're not really dead!!" shtick has been done quite a few times already. I guess I'll wait and see where they go with this; my first instinct was that Kyle is getting too stressed and subconsciously creating sentient constructs again, but that seems a bit out of left field for Gibbons' style.

[LadyVader]

I don't think visions of one's long-dead significant other are a normal occurrence on Mogo...
Maybe Mogo has a cousin or something called Solaris.

:)

[Feral Wolverine]

was that something that was established post-crisis, though?


Yes. Jack T Chance's ring prevented him fron killing and the mad Gaurdian was able to strip the Gl's of their power.

[bluelantern3]

Thanks for all of the informative replies. I am thinking that if a GL with a green power ring can alter the energy color from green to blue, the blue energy is a way to directly attack the yellow energy color.

[TheCorpulent1]

Uh... no, I think the Silver Age GL rings were unable to affect yellow no matter what.

[kiuju2k]

they were ineffective agains yellow I never liked that as a weakness. Nor wood either. Silly really. LIke an achilles heel.

[kiuju2k]

No no and no.... They can't make anything except green. It took Oblivion/kyle alot of power syphoning to augment the color spectrum to make himself and all the things he did to kick the justice leagues ass(especially superman) non green although he said it was a simple task. I know the guardians made the rings with limitations for a reason. It just writer to writer wants to be different and write it that way. But, as it stands no normal GL can make anything but, green.

[yenaled]

Apart from their costumes, which are constructs.

I've been wishing Alan would lose his wood weakness for a long time now. He didn't have it in The Final Night. I don't know how he ended up getting it back, but it blows. The Injustice Gang just needs to bring Blackbriar Thorn along and he's useless.

[RockSP]

Yes. Jack T Chance's ring prevented him fron killing and the mad Gaurdian was able to strip the Gl's of their power.

I remember Jack killing mofos left and right in his first appearance...don't remember if it was with the ring or not though...

[GoldenAgeHero]

have you guys read the latest issue? pretty solid reading. but i wish we can get more kyle rayner time, im a little weary of the ion ongoing , coming out soon.

[RockSP]

The Korugaran chick (can't remember her name right now) seemed to come around a little too quickly, IMO. She seemed dead set against being a GL but then a little teasing from Guy and Kyle and suddenly "I will keep the ring".

[GoldenAgeHero]

The Korugaran chick (can't remember her name right now) seemed to come around a little too quickly, IMO. She seemed dead set against being a GL but then a little teasing from Guy and Kyle and suddenly "I will keep the ring".


i dunno about the rushing, eventally she was gona accept it, since the ring aint gonna leav her alone about i plus she has been given chnace to do greater good which goes beyond being a doctor, which i think she realized.

[TheCorpulent1]

The Korugaran chick (can't remember her name right now) seemed to come around a little too quickly, IMO. She seemed dead set against being a GL but then a little teasing from Guy and Kyle and suddenly "I will keep the ring".
I felt that way too, but I think GLC's lateness actually worked in its favor there. It was more muted than it probably would've felt if GLC had actually kept a monthly schedule.

[Manwithoutpeer]

So, is this still gonna be turned into a monthly comic? I was looking for solicates over at the DC site and couldn't find anything after #5...I hope it will continue, I like it.

[yenaled]

It's definatly going to be a monthly.

[TheCorpulent1]

I wonder when the monthly will actually start. I kind of hope they hold off on it until later in the summer. That way we get two waves of badass OYL stuff: all the crap between March and April, then Flash: The Fastest Man Alive, Wonder Woman, GL Corps, and whatever else in the summer.

[Manwithoutpeer]

What's Flash: The Fastest Man alive gonna be about? Who's involved? I agree with you though, it would be cool if they held off til summer for the monthly to begin.

[Anubis]

Uhh, it's gonna be about Flash of course. :p

The guys that wrote for the Flash TV show from the early 90's will be writing. Theres a thread for it so you can see some pics.

As far as who will be Flash, we don't know yet. The Flash thats supposed to be around OYL is unknown. But it wont be Wally West.

[TheCorpulent1]

How do you know it won't be Wally? :confused:
What's Flash: The Fastest Man alive gonna be about? Who's involved? I agree with you though, it would be cool if they held off til summer for the monthly to begin.
That's just the title of the new Flash comic that's coming out to replace the one that just ended. Ken Lashley's the artist and a pair of writers from the Flash TV series are writing it.

[Anubis]

Okay, I guess I don't know if it will be Wally, but I bet it wont be. Not at first anyway.

[Manwithoutpeer]

Cool, I'm gonna have to get that. I quit reading the Flash after Johns' run.

[Anubis]

Smart man.

[TheCorpulent1]

Yeah, that last arc was a waste. :(
Okay, I guess I don't know if it will be Wally, but I bet it wont be. Not at first anyway.
That'll be good, then. That opens Wally up to be the second "new" Flash, who's supposed to be the permanent one.
