Green Lantern or Green Lantern Corps

[TheCorpulent1]

The irony is that that exact same scene from GL where Bruce and Hal get over things would've worked perfectly post-OYL. But no, Johns had to go and blow his load too soon.

 

[The Question]

Yeah, its just I hate how he was given a clean slate without having to face responsibility on anything. It was the fear demon, he made me do it. :

Green Lantern would have been a much better series if he retained responsibility. Especially since Rebirth pretty much made DeMattes' Spectre series worthless in terms of character developement.

Yeah. After a year of Hal trying to regain peoples' trusts, I think Batman might be a bit more forgiving. But pre OYL? Way too soon.

Also, one of the more homosexual covers in comics.

......pic?

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Definitely looks like some mouth-to-mouth action is just around the bend, if you interpret it the right way.

Yeah. After a year of Hal trying to regain peoples' trusts, I think Batman might be a bit more forgiving. But pre OYL? Way too soon.

Not to mention the fact that Batman himself has retreated from the darkness a lot and is willing to give everyone second chances after all the crap his paranoia put the other heroes through. He did it with Bullock; why not with Hal, as well?

 

[The Question]

Yeah. That way, it makes a bit of sense.




Still, what makes me mad the most is how Rebirth basically told DeMattes' Spectre series to go **** itself. That series, I must say, kicked all kinds of ass, and really helped Hal become a more interesting character. Now, it's basically meaningless.

 

[Darthphere]

This new arc has potentital with Hal being on the run, but if the issues actually came out id be able to gauge them better. Also, Ion seems to have a similar plot.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Hal's supposed to pop up in Ion, too.

 

[Darthphere]

Hal's supposed to pop up in Ion, too.

I shouldve seen that coming.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I'm not too broken up about it. Hopefully Kyle will kick Hal's ass at least once.

 

[Darthphere]

Hopefully in the midst of battle Hal rips that thing off Kyle's face.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

It's not there all the time. I wish they could've just gone all or nothing on the starfield look, though. Having it appear in just a mask form looks lame.

Therein lies my problem with the book. He should've stayed the spectre or moved on with his existence.

My problem with the ion book is merely more of a 1st impression. Yeah i can admit i was expecting a bunch of things in the 1st book and yes that is kind of unrealistic. I just like the character so much that i just wanted it all in 1 book.

 

[jaydawg]

Johns isn't writing this new Green Lantern Corps series so that's a no for me.

Johns actual writing on Green Lantern is a no for alot of people.

 

[Assassin]

i just met Martin Nodell the creator of green lantern (allan scott) he's pretty damn old but i bought some original art from him...and he created the pilsbury douhboy if you believe that!

 

[The BatDude]

Corps is the best GL book out there right now. I don't know why I keep buying GL, maybe deep down inside I love Hal so much that I lie to myself about the book getting better? The 1 issue of Ion is much better then the Johns arc in GL IMO.

 

[Harlekin]

Yeah. That way, it makes a bit of sense.

Where were you when I made a thread about Hal Jordan Spectre? I loved that series. Hal Jordan as the Spectre was great.

 

[The Question]

I guess I a missed it. But damn, that was a great book. Hal was a much more interesting character in that than he is now.

 

[Harlekin]

Definitely. Hal as the Specre rocked.

 

[The Question]

Yeah. There was one issue, however, that seemed odd to me. The one where he tried to kill Darksied but couldn't because Darksied was made up of so much evil that his death would have thrown the cosmic balance out of whack. That just seemed weird to me. Especially since he's destined to die locked in mortal combat with Orion in the firepits.

 

[Harlekin]

Well, some things were odd in general. Such as the Spectre-Prime stuff. The Spectre's powers hadn't ever shown to be that way. But that's really DeMatteis' schtick, considering he revamped Dr. Fate in a similar manner, giving it a totally new outlook.

Well, prophecies don't always end up as they are destined too, especially in comics. Even then, there are multiple solutions to it, such as Orion becoming evil after the defeat of his father (although we are shown in KC that although Apokalips would remain the same, Orion hadn't become inherently bad). Still had a lot of good stuff though, and with some phenomal artwork at times.

 

[The Question]

Yeah. It was a good series, so a few oddities can be forgiven.

And Alan becomes about a thousand times cooler by association.

That's awesome. How'd you meet him?

 

[Binker]

So I guess everyoen is gonna get Corps.

Since I already started with #10, I'm gonna continue that as well. That ain't different from getting the Superman and Batman books which are in 3-4 each in numbers.
