Green Lantern

By SallyP(noreply@blogger.com) I purposely like to wait an extra day, whenever Green Lantern or Green Lantern Corps or Blackest Night comes in, to be able to absorb everything, and to give everyone a chance to read it, without spoiling the ending. With that being said...OH MY GOD!!!!! Not Kyle. NOT KYLE! Oh...Kyle!

By Tegan(noreply@blogger.com) Here are reviews of the DCBS comic book shipment that arrived this week, of books originally released October 21st and 28th:Blackest Night: Superman #3 - Zombies. As my hubby pointed out, regular and Marvel Zombies go for the brain. DC Zombies go for the heart. Will Image or Dark Horse Zombie...

By SallyP(noreply@blogger.com) They may not have Hal, John, Guy or Kyle, but they make do with the next best thing and go find Alan Scott, who is fighting Black Lanterns along with the rest of the Justice Society, the League and the Titans. Alan may not be in the Corps, but bless his heart, he's still got Willpower and Light, an...

By SallyP(noreply@blogger.com) Blackest Night #4. Batwoman in Detective Comics. Green Lantern #47. This was just as orgasmic as Blackest Night. Well actually...maybe even more so. If you aren't reading this, you really really should be. Justice Society of America #32 Superman: Secret Origin #2 Wonder Woman #37

By SallyP(noreply@blogger.com) And tomorrow, the new books come out, including Blackest Night AND Green Lantern, not to mention a whole passel of other good books. Life...is good. Comics are also good. So are apple cider donuts, and if you have never tasted them, I suggest that you try some.

By Tegan(noreply@blogger.com) Blackest Night: Batman #3 - Trying to care, failing. DC Zombies, *sigh*.Green Lantern Corps #41 - Mildly more interesting than the Batman one, but not by much. Zombies. Just more zombies. *sigh*.Super Friends #20 - Not the ending I was expecting. I love Aquaman in this one... but then I love him in jus...

By SallyP(noreply@blogger.com) First off, Blackest Night: Batman #3. Since it was written by Peter Tomasi it is right in line with the rest of the Blackest Night continuity. It was quite good, with both Tim and Dick getting sucked into the emotional machinations of their respective parents. However, the REAL payoff, was th...

By SallyP(noreply@blogger.com) Pat Gleason does his usual exemplary job on the artwork, and Peter Tomasi does his usual magnificent job with the story and dialogue. Although I can't imagine not reading all of Blackest Night, it is perfectly feasible to just read the Green Lantern books and have a clear idea of what is goin...

By SallyP(noreply@blogger.com) Green Lantern Corps, Booster Gold, Doom Patrol, Incredible Hercules, Secret Six, Wednesday Comics,Blackest Night: Batman, and Superman: World of New Krypton. I also saw in Toyfare, that they are going to be bringing out a Katma Tui, Kilowog and John Stewart, not to mention Romat Ru and K...

By SallyP(noreply@blogger.com) And Blackest Night continues. Hal really doesn't even show up in this issue, which is unnusual to say the least, but I can't say that I missed him at all, because Sinestro and Carol have one heck of a duel going on, over in Zamaron. but the former Sinestro Corps members...now Black Lanterns!

By Tegan(noreply@blogger.com) Blackest Night: Tales of the Corps #3 - Two Green Lantern tales, and a much appreciated Director's Commentary on Black Night #0. I wish I could get more of these "Director's Commentary" specials on some of these books. I loved Sad Krypto best of all. Never would have noticed that in the regular...

By SallyP(noreply@blogger.com) Anyhoo, as I have managed to pick up from the other reviews, there are two stories, the first with Kilowog as a rookie, and the second with Arisia, and how she came from a long line of Lanterns, and finally, the pencils of Ivan Reis's Blackest Night, along with commentary from Geoff Johns and...

Coming March 2010! Shown here via Entertainment Earth is Wave 3 of the "Blackest Night" action figures. The set includes Carol Ferris Star Sapphire, Green Lantern Arisia, Orange Lantern Larfleeze with Glomulus, and Black Lantern Aquaman. The Star Sapphire figure stands 6.75" high, the A...

By SallyP(noreply@blogger.com) We've had an incredible build-up, not to mention a bunch of prologues, but it is finally upon us...and I'm still gasping. If you read last week's Green Lantern, then you know that Black Hand committed suicide and was then reborn as the Avatar of the Black Lanterns. For some reason I can't quite pu...

image:11074:c] Hey, Vibe's right! There is only one more day until Blackest Night #1. It might seem like this storyline has been in the works forever, but there's a good reason for that—writer Geoff Johns has been setting it up ever since his first Green Lantern story, 2005's Green Lantern...

By SallyP(noreply@blogger.com) Gee, I guess I DID have a bit more to talk about than I thought. I wonder if Bea is going to have any role in the upcoming Blackest Night story? They've already mentioned Tora, so I imagine there is a possibility. I just hope that they all make it out alive and whole, or I'll be QUITE miffed. I'm getti...

Do you have a fever, and the only prescription is more Green Lantern? [image:11010:c] Well, DC Direct is offering not one, but five chances to get your Hal Jordan fix at the San Diego Comic Con! In keeping with the lead-up to Blackest Night, there will be a Green Lantern, Orange Lantern, Blu...

By SallyP(noreply@blogger.com) Why, merely the contemplation of one of the greatest of all Green Lanterns, and possibly one of those who is going to be turning up in the near future, due to Blackest Night, which incidentally, debuts this coming Wednesday. I speak of course, of... The Immortal Ch'p.

IGN has a cool interview up with DC Direct's Georg Brewer, about what sorts of figures will be coming out during the upcoming Green Lantern megaevent, Blackest Night. A highlight: I always love when we work on project with Geoff. Not only is he a great storyteller, but he is a ...

By SallyP(noreply@blogger.com) Each month, I read the latest issue of Green Lantern Corps, and think to myself that Tomasi and Gleason can't possibly top themselves, only to be surprised when they do it again the next month. And here,they've surpassed themselves again. Just in time for Blackest Night.

By SallyP(noreply@blogger.com) Batman & Robin #2 by Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely. Frankly, I am smitten. The artwork is just so insanely gorgeous, and I'm enjoying the heck out of the story as well. ju Another great week for Comics. And Blackest Night is beginning this month!

By SallyP(noreply@blogger.com) So! That was one HECK of an issue! And now we stand on the brink of the final chapter of the Green Lantern Trilogy that Geoff Johns has been working on for six years or so, with Blackest Night all set to begin in a week or so. And at the end of it all...I REALLY want the Guardians to get what's coming to th...

 MA We missed our chance to snag free comic books at the parade. Which ones were you giving out? This year, one of the Free Comic Book Day (FCBD) books was Green Lantern Blackest Night. DC has now introduced a rainbow of lanterns. (ROYGBIV) It was perfect. ...

By SallyP(noreply@blogger.com) Oh the plot thickens. It thickens SOOO nicely. Several plotlines are all becoming tangled as well plummet down towards Blackest Night. Oh, and just to keep the theme going, here is a lovely picture of Hal getting slapped around by the Lamplighter, from my latest Showcase. Now THAT'S a villain...

 CA He explained the mythology of his many corps, how monthly books and trade paperbacks fit together, and his hopes for the new Green Lantern movie. Green Lantern, of course, is the superhero whose "power ring" can make or do anything, using a mysterious ...

 CA From Blackest Night: Titans to the two Green Lantern books, we'll have all the art you want to see - plus confirmation of which writers and artists are handling which mini-series. Blackest Night fans, IGN has you covered. While we don't know the writer ...

But Wolverine isn't the only superstar lighting up Free Comic Book Day. Issue No. 0 of In Blackest Night co-headlines Free Comic Book Day and heralds the hero. DC Comics is trotting out Green Lantern with the gratis In Blackest Night issue No. ...

 Ca More than likely, though, Superman: Secret Origin will be a springboard for another epic Superman story, much as the “Secret Origin” arc in Green Lantern connected Hal Jordan's early GL days to the current Blackest Night buildup. ...

 Ca After two years of buildup, DC kicks off the back half of 2009 with Blackest Night, the final part of Geoff Johns' Green Lantern event trilogy. What with all the hype, it's been expanded into something approaching a line-wide crossover. ...

 CA After a prolonged absence, the Red Lanterns have returned in a big way. Tomasi even tackles a dangling thread I would have expected to be reserved for Johns' series or even Blackest Night itself. In short, Lantern fans won't be given the opportunity to ...

By noreply@blogger.com (SallyP) So...here are my predictions for Blackest Night. Kyle Rayner, Guy Gardner and John Stewart will also make token appearances. Sinestro will also probably show up. I know that he's been a bit overused, but what the heck, he's not a bad villain.

By noreply@blogger.com (SallyP) Over at Newsarama, they had an interview with none other than Ivan Reis, Green Lantern Artist, Extraordinaire. He's busy drawing the Blackest Night books, and then...sadly...will be moving onto other things. What the heck, Happy Birthday Hal! You got to stick it to Batman AND get all the Girls!

By Deamentia The Story: Hal Jordan discovers the secret of the Blue Lanterns and the fate of Ganthet. Riding on the emotion of hope this new lantern corps believes that the redemption of Sinestro is the key to surviving what’s to come in the future (the Blackest Night). Meanwhile on the planet of Ysmault,...

By tonyrak The Good: I never would have expected Green Lantern to be the book to get me reading DC again, but I have to credit the “Sinestro Corps War” for being such an awesome story, and I can honestly say I’m really looking forward to following this straight through to “The Blackest Night” next summe...

By Rokk Krinn Synopsis: We begin with all the heroes of the DCU joining the Green Lantern Corps in the massive battle with the Sinestro Corps. We zip to Sayd and Ganthet talking with Hal, Guy, John and Kyle. The ex-Guardians mention that the Blackest Night is going to occur. That these four lanterns are from the keystone of the Multiverse, Earth, and to stop the Blackest Night from occurring, the four Earthling Lanterns must bear witness to the Blackest Night. One of the Guardians locks horns with Superman-Prime. The Guardians states that he willingly sacrifices his own life to rid the universe of Superman-Prime. We cut to Coast City where Hal is punching away at Sinestro. Hal says that a Green Lantern is never without fear. A Green Lantern overcomes fear.   [read the full post]
