Welcome to Earth One!

[lixdexia]

Meh, I call for Green Lantern: Earth One to feature Kilowog. It'd be a bold move, DC!

hells yes! i want that to happen

Thats like saying Superman Earth One should be about Mol-El and Batman Earth One about Jean-Paul. >_>

I would buy the s*** out of a Batman: Earth One featuring Jean-Paul.

wow, this is the exact opposite of how i would have expected this exchange to occur, am i in bizzaro world?

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Drz likes the new Azrael. I liked Jean-Paul because he had a strong redemption arc (ignoring the last few issues of his series where he goes crazy again and dies).

 

[lixdexia]

OOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHH...... yeah, i was thinking jean-paul would be right up drz's alley because i was thinking knightfall era jean-paul.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Yeah, f*** Jean-Paul in that period. But after that, he gets the System under control and learns to be a hero with Leslie Thompkins' help (yet another reason I absolutely loathed "War Games"/"War Crimes").

 

[lixdexia]

yeah i'm with you, it's just that's always what pops up in my head first for jean-paul.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I differentiate 'em by calling that version "AzBat" pretty much exclusively.

 

[Drz]

Drz likes the new Azrael. I liked Jean-Paul because he had a strong redemption arc (ignoring the last few issues of his series where he goes crazy again and dies).

I like Jean-Paul too, but my reading of him is just limited to the 4-issue mini and Knightfall. They really need to collect the Jean-Paul series to trades.

DC should collect the Azrael series in trade

I agree with the both of yez. I missed a lot of his series, in spite of my being a big fan of Jean-Paul in general, so I'd love to catch up on those bits I missed.

It would be

 

[Blitzkrieg Bop]

Meh, I call for Green Lantern: Earth One to feature Kilowog. It'd be a bold move, DC!

Then wouldn't it be called "Green Lantern: Bolovax Vik One?"

 

[Mystirious]

No. He'd crash on Earth instead of Abin Sur but survive through sheer tenacity and awesomeness. Then he'd punch Hal out and continue as Green Lantern on Earth.

I would buy that

 

[Drz]

So your ideal Green Lantern writer for Earth One?

 

[Mystirious]

Tomasi

 

[Drz]

Nah he's already writing that stuff. Get Paul Cornell there god damnit!

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I'm curious about how Morrison would tackle the GL mythos. I'm not a huge fan of what he's done with Batman, but he certainly does have very unique and interesting thoughts on the big icons.

I liked how he did Kyle Rayner, but yeah him touching the WHOLE Green Lantern mythos would be very exciting. He made X-Men into a culture. He made Batman into a Legion... What would he do to the space cops?!

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I'd hazard a guess, but I'm not on lots of mind-altering drugs, so I'm sure it'd be way off.

The way he tells it, he mostly just smokes pot.

 

[Tron Bonne]

The way he tells it, he mostly just smokes pot.

You mean, like, nowadays? Because I remember him talking about using his body as a glorified test tube for all kinds of drugs when he hit 30 or something once. And his whole 'Supercontext' idea seems to imply he really loves him some powerful psychedelics.

I would probably pick up a GL: Earth One from him, even though I have no interest in the idea or imprint, that could be cool. I would just prefer he did a run on the regular titles.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I would not. Like I said, I'm not a fan of his Batman ideas. But if they were separated out into their own thing, I'd probably be more receptive.

 

[Tron Bonne]

I would probably be up for it either way, but I just don't care at all about this Earth One stuff. I doubt most of what he'd do would last past his own run anyway, if it were in the mainstream DCU.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Yeah, I'm curious to see what happens when he's off Batman's comics. His ideas for the X-Men were dropped literally immediately after he stopped writing their comics. Then again, I think he's been making more money for DC with his Batman run than he did for Marvel with his X-Men run, so that'll probably ensure at least a little bit more longevity to his ideas.
