Of the 4 Green lanterns listed...

jordan's is the best IMO I really hate the gardner outfit though

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Personally, the incredible realism of the cover just shows bad it would look in real life. Its like he was wearing some casual clothes (although I never seen anyone in a red shirt, green pants combo) and added a gawdy purple cape and thought it would make a good superhero costume. I love Alan and all, and let the costume slide since he easily is the coolest golden age-er out there, but it really is a terrible costume.

According to you. I like it and the Golden Age feel it has. His Sentinel costumes never looked right to me.

 

[jaydawg]

Yes, thats why I said personally. Never cared for his Sentinel costume myself. Even if he was put in the Corp's colors, it wouldn't sit right. Thats why I just let it be.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

It's the cape, in my opinion. People don't associate GLs with capes, so it seems awkward when they learn that the original GL had a cape.

 

[Chris Wallace]

It's the clash; red+purple+yellow+green? Doesn't work.
It's the least color-coordinated costume I've ever seen.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

It's not ideal, granted, but it still works for me. At least the purple breaks up the Christmas mix of his Sentinel costumes.

 

[LanternFan]

It doesn't matter that the colors clash. It's a classic golden age look. The high collar, the flowing cape. It's meant to have a gothic, supernatural, almost wizardly feel to it. Remember, Alan's power is based in magic.

Yes, red and green don't typically go together, but sometimes in the right context, it's just great.

To me, Alan Scott IS the Golden Age.

 

[Newb]

Classic Gardener of course.

Is Ion going to be an ongoing series or limited?

 

[The Leaguer]

It's a 12 issue maxi-series as of now, but if it's successful enough, it'll get picked up as an ongoing.

 

[Alex Summers]

;ll;l

Speaking of Ion, they should have just used the original costume that Kyle wore. I thought it looked a whole lot better than the current one.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

A GL costume that's mostly white just looks wrong to me. I like the new one more, except for the stupid starfield facemask.

 

[Motown Marvel]

what about mogo?!

voted for jordan.

 

[deemar325]

I like Hal Jordan's current costume.

Simple and sleek.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I wish GL artists would get their damn act together. JSA Classified has featured an entire arc of Gulacy drawing Alan with the wrong ring on the wrong finger.

 

[LanternFan]

That's always been a problem. Artists don't seem to pay enough attention to the fine details like ring desing. I've seen Hal's and Kyle's rings change several times depending on the artist.

Frustrating.

 

[yenaled]

Yeah, I hate that too, I'm sure Hal was wearing Alan's ring in GL, and Alan was wearing the ring on the wrong finger (his wedding finger not his middle finger).

The "DC Bible" by George Perez is a good idea. A big document on what people look like - not how to draw them stylistically - but things like the GL's differing rings, hair on people, etc, etc.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

It's so simple, though. Alan's ring looks basically like the lantern on his chest with a band. Hal's is the old-school Corps symbol with a circle around it. Kyle's is the new Corps symbol with no circle around it.

 

[yenaled]

Yeah I know, it really gets on my nerves. It doesn't take a minute to look up other pictures of them to find out the basics.

 

[CorpusBlack]

Hal's is my fav. I always disliked Guy's sleeveless jacket.

 

[hippie_hunter]

Kyle used to have the coolest, but now his is kinda ugly with that damn crab mask mixed with a psuedo-traditional Green Lantern outfit.

I'm going with John Stewart's.

 

[Smirnoff]

Obviously Kyle.

 

[fifthfiend]

Threadsurrection!

 

[Aristotle]

Stewart's is damn classy.

Can't believe Gardner even got a single vote.

 

[CorpusBlack]

Can't believe Gardner even got a single vote.

Agreed. :gl:
