Twisted Two-Face Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 Isn't Grundy also dead already?? Might be cool seeing him with a power ring, though...And shame for Dove, seeing Hawk going all evil and such. Personally, i cannot wait for Blackest Night. It's coming in second for my "big summer events" right now (first is Utopia) and it just keeps getting better and better...and it's still in the prelude!!! Also i'll finally get to see my Indigos in action, and maybe see Scar take a whoop-assing, so that's always good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirymate Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 I thought Grundy was going to be key to stopping this, being already undead and all, not getting a black ring. Ah well. Shame of it is, there are a LOT of charaters on that list I like, and seeing it all compiled is ticking me off all over again that they're dead in the first place. Not that that'll stop me from reading it. Darn addiction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twisted Two-Face Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 Wow...i just realized that Bruce is actually going to be a part of this. I mean, i knew before this, but i guess it never processed. This is the same "we just buried you a few weeks ago" Bruce, right?? The "i just died" Bruce?? wow...that's a shorter revival than Cap. That is certainly a kick in the balls; DC just has to try to one-up Marvel on everything, eh?? And do we even know if that WAS Bruces skeleton?! I mean, he probably had a body ready to bury if anything happened, knowing Wayne!! Ooo, i can just see Black Hand's face now: "Rise, Bruce Wayne!!" "Stop shouting at me, you disgusting pile of rotting crap!!" "Wait...what?! Why the Hell was Estelle Getty in Bruce Wayne's grave?!?!"

Nestlé Posted June 24, 2009 Author Share Posted June 24, 2009 Bruce isn't dead. He's trapped in the past (Prehistoria) and the body that they have is his future body... Man that's mixed up to try and explain. Honestly the whole concept is a bit of a dumb idea, but regardless, this can hardly be considered a real character resurrection.

SErge Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 just got into green lantern this year, and boy did i pick the right time, this is my number 1 for hottest (no pun intended) summer event, and i'm not even done reading sinestro war!!! Bring out your dead! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're talking about Final Crisis again!!! MAKE IT STOP Nestlé, Make it STOP! And regaurdless of where his mind went, the corpse is jioning the corps. (and probably meaning a real quick full resurrection, makeing all that cowl swapping in the bat-titles even more meaningless.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nestlé Posted June 24, 2009 Author Share Posted June 24, 2009 Serge, you better hurry! If you're still on Sinestro War you still have to read: GLC Ring Quest GL Secret Origin GLC Sins of Star Sapphires GL Rage of Red Lanterns GL Agent Orange GLC Emerald Eclipse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punisher Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 What's Emerald Eclipse? Like SErge, I've only read Sinestro Corps war part 1 (with part 2 coming in the mail) I plan on reading the Orange and Red Lantern saga too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nestlé Posted June 24, 2009 Author Share Posted June 24, 2009 Without spoiling anything, I'll try and quickly fill you in on the stories: GLC Ring Quest: The Guardians take a proactive solution after Sinestro War and send a group of GLs to collect all the Yellow Rings and lock 'em up. This might be an easy task if it weren't for Mongul. GL Secret Origin: Geoff goes back and rewrites Hal's origin story. Might not sound like essential reading, but he uses the opportunity to mix in Red Lanterns & Black Hand (The author of Blackest Night) GLC Sins of Star Sapphires: The Star Sapphires were created by girl Guardians called Zamarons. They left when the other Guardians decided not to feel emotion. Politically speaking that makes it hard to wipe them out... How will the Green Lanterns deal with the Violet Corps when they start brainwashing the Sinestro Corps with Love? GL Rage of Red Lanterns: What can I say about this story? It's awesome! We meet Red and Blue. And Daxstar is in it!!! He's the scariest little Red Lantern ever! http://www.internationalnorbertconspiracy....es/dex-star.jpg http://media.photobucket.com/image/dexstar...b2/dexstar1.jpg GL Agent Orange: Obviously we meet LarFleeze and his Orange Corps. Hopefully we'll see some Indigo too. (This one ends today) GLC Emerald Eclipse: So far the GLC has been kicking ass. What happens though if someone were to release all the prisoners they've been keeping on Oa? Can they continue their war against Orange while they are being massacred by Red, Yellow & every bounty Hunter back home? Title is pretty self explanatory: Green Light is hidden in Darkness and fades. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punisher Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 Cool, thanks! I'm going to need to get a hold of all the "Rage of the Red Lanterns" and "Agent Orange" titles. Could you possibly point me in the right direction? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nestlé Posted June 24, 2009 Author Share Posted June 24, 2009 Not sure how much of a hurry you're in. Rage of Red Lanterns hits in TPB form July 1st. If you want to read them before that the trade includes: GL 26, 27, & 28 FC Rage of Red Lanterns #1 GL 36, 37, 38 While FCRoRL & GL 36-38 are essential to the story, you don't have to pick up 26-28 if you don't want. They follow the Guardians creating the Alpha Lanterns & Laira becoming a Red Lantern. The Alphas will play a major role in BN and Laira has always been one of my fav. GLs, but the info is not necessity for the Red Lantern arc. Laira: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:LairaGL.JPG The Alphas are Chaselon http://greenlantern.wikia.com/wiki/File:Chaselon-3.jpg , Boodika http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Boodika.JPG , Green Man http://greenlantern.wikia.com/wiki/File:Green_Man-2.jpg , Kraken http://greenlantern.wikia.com/wiki/File:Gr...tern_Kraken.jpg & Varix http://greenlantern.wikia.com/wiki/File:Gr...ntern_Varix.jpg Oops, forgot to talk about Orange. It runs in GL 39, 40, 41 & 42 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SErge Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 (edited) Serge, you better hurry! If you're still on Sinestro War you still have to read: GLC Ring Quest GL Secret Origin GLC Sins of Star Sapphires GL Rage of Red Lanterns GL Agent Orange GLC Emerald Eclipse oh wow, I so behind!!!, I am reading agent orange also, I do have rage of red( but haven't even looked inside yet!), ack!, so many comics so little time, thanks so much the info Nestlé!

Nestlé Posted June 24, 2009 Author Share Posted June 24, 2009 Well if you have a few of them you should try and read them in order, since, for instance RoRL shows where that blue ring comes from in AO. Just a suggestion. Arrgh! I went by my LCS today and they didn't have the last issue of AO yet. Must... Find out.... What happens... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nestlé Posted June 26, 2009 Author Share Posted June 26, 2009 Argh! Man I hate the Guardians! Blue is the only Corps ACTIVELY working towards a solution for Blackest Night. The stupid little blue boys Sold them out to the Orange Corps in todays comic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The stupid little blue boys Sold them out to the Orange Corps in todays comic. I read that last night and couldn't stop laughing!! That was so evil it was hilarious!! Something Green Lantern is missing that it could use more often; i loved it. The Epilogue though...whoo-boy. The next issue is going to be a doozy...

Punisher Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 What's this mean? No more Blue lanterns? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nestlé Posted June 26, 2009 Author Share Posted June 26, 2009 It was a cliffhanger. We know that Blue disrupts orange . But still, orange has shown to be nearly invincible. LarFleeze and his corps are all raining down death on the 1/2 dozen Blues , so it doens't really look good for them. The Guardians just have their hate on for Ganthet and this was a way of "removing" him. Anyways, about the Epilogue... I really like Ash! http://www.comicvine.com/ash/29-49702/all-...ash/105-264573/ I don't remember him from old stuff, so I think he's new but ever since that issue where he said to the vampires "Die Horribly!" I knew there was an interesting story there. Saarek? http://dc.wikia.com/wiki/File:Saarek.jpg I hope he gets eaten by the Antimonitor. I know there's going to be a lot of characters in BN, but I'd really like to see them flesh out more Brik http://www.comicvine.com/brik/29-11303/all...000/105-522080/ & Bd'g http://www.comicvine.com/bdg/29-49712/all-...-dg/105-264575/ . Brik has been a fvorite of mine from the 90s and who wouldn't want to see more chipmunk? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minimadman Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 The Green Lantern books and Captain America are pretty much the only one worth reading these day. I am loving GL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nestlé Posted June 26, 2009 Author Share Posted June 26, 2009 Bdg (pronounced "Badge") is Ch'p's replacement. Ch'p died a few years back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirymate Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 Bdg (pronounced "Badge") is Ch'p's replacement. Ch'p died a few years back. Add another to the list of Black Lantern's then. Salakk is not going to like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
