Egad, my mind is a complete blank. So, in order to entertain you, I am reusing an OLD idea from a couple of years ago. And I originally stole THAT idea from Calvin, so actually this is a double revival...or something.
Anyway.
Calvin had an idea way back when, to post a cover and then come up with your OWN plotline for it. I did it with the spectacular cover to Green Lantern Corps,that had Guy and Kyle drowning in yellow rings. There were some really good ideas.
So how about THIS cover? This is going to be an upcoming Green Lantern:Emerald Warriors cover, for the War of the Green Lanterns.
Hal and Guy are taking part in Project Runway. "No Wire Hangers...EVER!"
I'm sure that you can all do better. MUCH better.

Showdown #1: Manliest Movie Ever?
Time for the first ever Showdown!! Since this is going to be a long one, I'll keep the introduction brief. Simply put, occasionally whenever the lightbulb above my head lights up, I will pit movies, actors or even characters against another one of similar nature.
So this time around we are going to look at two of the "manliest" movies ever made, you can almost see testosterone dripping around the corners of the screen. But out of these two, which one is the manliest of them all? Let's find out!
Exactly twenty years apart, which will reign supreme? |

Lanterns vs Bats
What IS it about Green Lanterns and the Bat Clan? They just can't...or won't get along for some reason. I am including ALL of the Green Lanterns, even though Kyle and John seemed to be able to work with Batman to a greater extent than Hal or Guy. But even they seemed to experience some frustration. To be fair, just about every single person in the Justice League, Justice Society, Teen Titans and Inferior Five has experienced some frustration in working with Batman.
Batman has this attitude thing going on. He's ALWAYS prepared. He ALWAYS has a plan. He ALWAYS thinks that he is the smartest person in the room. What is annoying, is that he's usually right. But that doesn't make it any easier to work with the man.
Hal and Bruce have always seemed to rub against each other. And now that I've typed it, that seems awfully suggestive. But it's not. Part of the problem is that in quite a number of ways, they are actually quite similar. Both have lost parents at a very young age, and both were present when they were killed. That has always been presented as one of the defining moments in both of their lives. They are both brave and fearless of course. They both seems to have trouble with personal relationships. Hal is a playboy, and Bruce works at being perceived as one. Both of them always think that they know best in any given situation. Both are definitely Alpha Males, and as arrogant as hell.
On the other hand, they couldn't be more different. Bats always has a plan. Hal never has a plan. He's impetuous and impulsive, and Batman is cool and calculating. Batman is also pretty smart, while Hal...not so much. So it makes sense, for them to clash.
This seems to be the reaction that Batman has to Hal a lot of the time.
I swear, that this happens on a regular basis. And except for the infamous "One Punch", I can't really recall Batman hitting Guy Gardner nearly as often as he decked Hal. Granted, he treated Guy like a misbehaving child, but for some reason Hal really seems to get his goat.
I'm wondering if it is because Hal has a remarkably thick skin when it comes to criticism. Hal is so convinced that he's fabulous, that Batman's taunts and fists just bounce off. He's the same way with the rest of the Green Lantern Corps. Seriously, nobody else comes close to Hal when it comes to Self-Esteem. This has to be very frustrating for Batman.
Guy and Bats clashed right from the start of course. Back then, when Guy was braindead, it was a lot easier for Batman to control him. Now of course, Guy just laughs at him...which also has to be really really annoying.
John is too diplomatic to laugh at Batman, nor does he present the problems that Hal does. And Kyle is young enough to be intimidated. But even so, they're Green Lanterns, and Bats just doesn't have the control over them that he seems to have over everyone else.
And there's Alan Scott. Even Batman knows that you don't mess with Alan Scott.
I'm starting to meander here, and have probably lost the whole point of my comparison. What it all boils down to however, is that the Bat/Green Lantern relationships are some of the most fascinating...at least to me. I wish that they would explore it more, there really hasn't been that much interaction lately. It's one of the things that I really enjoyed in the early "Brave & the Bold" issues, where they had teamed Hal and Bruce together in Las Vegas. It was interesting...and it was fun. And they should do it again.
See? They CAN be in the same room together!

Bouquets and Brickbats
Well, we are digging out a foot of snow from yet another storm...but fortunately, this one didn't hit until AFTER the UPS trucks had delivered my precious comics to the store. I have strange priorities.
Again, not a whole lot of books this week. There wasn't a Green Lantern book at ALL this month, although there was that extra one in December, which threw me off schedule. Still, it does seem like I haven't been getting as many books. Part of that is because Marvel keeps CANCELLING the ones that I like. And I've given up on a few others.
But anyway...
Fables #101
This was a rather sweet story, of a smart-alecky mirror, a smart-alecky talking head and a slightly befuddled former flying monkey. Against all odds, Bufkin has come through and put the Djinn back in the bottle and defeated Baba Yaga, and now he's on to perform more feats of derring-do. Or something. So he climbs out of the Business Office, with one of the barleycorn girls in his pocket to narrate. And climbs. And climbs some more. And oddly enough ends up almost in Oz. He thought he was going to go home to the Farm, but he just went...home. It is a charming and surprisingly NON-violent story, and really, I loved it. And it raises all sorts of questions about the Office, and the unexplored portions of it.
A nice fluffy pretty bouquet.
Green Arrow #8.
This is really growing on me. Just like the Forest in Star City! Haw!
Er...ahem. Anyway, the magical Forest seems to be expanding which has various groups worried, so STAR labs sows up, and Poison Ivy and Lexcorps and Doctor Midnite and Mr. Terrific. Ollie and Galahad are still lurking in the woods, when they stumble upon none other than Jason Blood! With all of his clothes on, which is a pity. But what is even more interesting, is that somehow, the Demon aka Etrigan has been separated from Blood! And is busy hunting him down. Ollie and Galahad gallantly move to assist, and end up encountering some STAR lab scientists and Midnite and Terrific. Naturally some brawling ensues.
Ollie is being a dick to Midnite and Terrific, but they're pretty well used to that. They DO try to reason with him, but this IS Ollie after all. Then they go back and try to fight with Etrigan some more, but then the Phantom Stranger shows up.
Oh, be still my heart! I LOVE the Phantom Stranger! Not too many men can carry off a turtleneck and a fedora, but he's one of them.
A nice green and grown bouquet for this one as well.
Justice League: Generation Lost #18
You know, I actually liked this. Ice wasn't portrayed as being a jerk, which made it tolerable. We have Power Girl fighting Captain Shinypants to begin with. He keeps trying to reason with her, to no avail,and then it dawns on him, that her dialog isn't matching up to his dialog...it all makes sense when he realizes that she's not seeing...or hearing...him at ALL! She thinks she's fighting Superman!
Oh that Max. What a Cad!
The rest of the team shows up, and it becomes clear, that she's seeing them as other people as well. She thinks that Fire is Supergirl, Rocket Red is Green Lantern, Booster is Batman and Ice is Starfire.
Meanwhile Max and Professor Ivo are busy torturing poor Blue Beetle. Max is disgustingly cheerful and smug about the whole thing, taunting Jaime and telling him that good does triumph over evil...but HE'S really a Good Guy here. Yeah, right. Oh Max.
Back with Peej, she's busy handing them their heads. Gavril, bless his heart is the one who figures out her weakness, which is her enhanced hearing, and he lets loose with some high frequency sound waves, the pain of which jolts her back to reality. Oh, and she remembers who Max is. Funny thing that...Max himself pointed out to Jaime that pain apparently overrides his mind-whammy. I see a clue!
The art was very pretty,and the story was good. Ice has a new costume for some reason. It's not bad, except I find the furry belt a little odd.
So...a bouquet! Who'd a thunk?
JSA #47
I keep telling myself to drop this book, and I can't quite bring myself to do it. It does advance the plot, but the plot is horribly disjointed. Manhunter is apparently going to show up, which is nice, Dr. Chaos is running around causing...well...chaos, and beating the JSA FAR too easily. The action just jumps from scene to scene to scene, with only a few panels devoted to each development, which I find disconcerting.
And some of the things that they are doing just don't make a whole lot of sense anyway. Mr. Terrific is getting stupid, Alan is paralyzed, Doctor Midnite is getting fed up, Fate is hauling Lightning's soul around some weird dimension...and so on.
No bouquet for you!
Wonder Woman #606
Well, this is just one long huge fight. There is a LOT of violence, and a lot of blood, and a lot of posturing. And they kill Phillipus, which pisses me off, but it's all in an althernate reality anyway, so who cares?
Not much of a bouquet here either.
Oh, and apparently one of the Fantastic Four dies. Yeah, it's the Human Torch. He's about the only one who hasn't died yet, so it was his turn. I give him about twelve issues, before his triumphant return. I haven't been reading Fantastic Four for quite a while, so I really didn't know all of what was going on, but I can say that Reed and Sue's youngest...whatsername, Val or something? Man, is that kid annoying.
Sue and Namor on the other hand, were pretty cool in this.
So brave the snow and get your books!

The Green Lantern Corps #210
Yes, you read that number and title correctly. I'm back to reading through my long boxes again, and THIS particular book just stands out as one of my very favorites. In fact this whole run of issues by Steve Englehart and Joe Staton were just amazing really. They may be old, but darn it if they haven't stood the test of time remarkably well. In my humble opinion anyway.
THIS is the issue where Guy Gardner has gone running off to Russia to confront Kilowog, who is now working for the "commies"! At least in Guy's fevered mind anyway. President Reagan is involved not to mention Gorbechov. Guy has absolutely NO authority for what he is doing, but when has he ever let that sort of thing get in the way of defending Mom and Apple Pie?
So, while the governments of the U.S and the U.S.S.R. watch, Kilowog and Guy are having the time of their lives, brawling in the air over the Russian steppes. There is a lot of trash talking, and an interesting use of constructs, but mostly they are just bashing each other. And...in a strange sort of way, I think that they are enjoying themselves. Until the Rocket Reds decide to interfere that is. Guy is simply OUTRAGED, and even Kilowog is surprised. Guy decides he's had enough and take them ALL out...including Kilowog with surprising ease.
The Rocket Reds try to bargain for their freedom, by offering up John and Katma...who are being held by the government, and are supposed to be killed. Kilowog didn't know anything about this, so he's VERY upset.
Meanwhile the rest of the the Corps is back in good old America, playing tennis and talking on an enormous mobile phone. I'm sure at the time, this was the very height of technological sophistication, but it does look a little silly nowadays. Anyway, they find out that Guy fooled Kari Limbo completely. IN the previous issue she had tried to psyche him out of going to Russia with a little bit of reverse psychology...which naturally didn't work at ALL on Guy.
Haw!
Back in Russia, Guy and Kilowog are tearing the place apart looking for John and katma. Kilowog is upset,but Guy is having a ball. Naturally. Then somebody gets antsy and pushes the little red button, and all the rest of the Green Lanterns are greeted by a whole LOT of missiles! It's a touchy situation, they have to contain the missiles without letting the West know what is going on, and in turn firing THEIR missiles! It's a good thing they know what they are doing.
Kilowog ends up fighting his good friend in the Rocket Reds. Josef doesn't want to fight him, but he is a patriot and a good soldier and he does as he's ordered. Unfortunately he simply won't surrender and is killed, and Kilowog is just torn up about it all.
It is rather poignant at the end. Hal and the others have destroyed the missiles and kept World War III from breaking out. Guy isn't impressed by stopping the missiles, since it isn't "man-to-man stuff!" According to Guy, there's no glory in that at all. Hal patiently explains that glory isn't what they're there for and that war really IS hell. It's a rather nice moment, since you can see the different attitudes of the Lanterns to the situation.
For Guy it all started as a lark, really, he's really just there to have a good time, and he does so with considerable zest. He's rather startled when it all goes sideways. He may be crazy, but he's actually rather...innocent really. Poor Kilowog is the one that I feel the most sorry for. He was just looking for a way to experience a bit of how he felt on his home world of Bolovax, which had been destroyed by Sinestro. Kilowog is an innocent in all of this as well. Even Hal isn't being a jerk for once.
It's really a great story, and if you don't have it, it is one that you should go out and find. If you DO have it, then find it and read it again!

Winter is Taking Over
Another Tuesday, another snowstorm. I swear, it seems as though Ice is battling the Weather Wizard up here in our frozen neck of the woods. And now that I come to think about it...I would totally read that story. Of course, I would read about Fire and Ice doing each others nails, but that's just me.
I do remember that story that was in Justice League Quarterly, where Wonder Woman had the pajama party, which was a lot of silly fun. I rather miss the Quarterly books. It was a nice place to catch up with characters that couldn't necessarily carry their own book, but whom I was fond of, nevertheless.
I did manage to pick up the Justice League International volume that came out last week, although it is actually about the JLI: Europe branch of the League. Written of course by Giffen and DeMatteis, with art by Bart Sears.
You have Captain Shinypants...oops, I mean Captain Atom over in Paris of all places, with Power Girl, the Elongated Man, Wally West as the Flash, Animal Man, Rocket Red and Metamorpho. It was...and eclectic bunch to be sure, but for some reason it never quite clicked the same way with me, that the regular bunch of idiots in the regular JLI did.
Wally was at his most puerile, Peej was a tad on the shrewish side, Animal Man just seem confused most of the time, but at least Ralph and Sue were together. Oh, and Crimson Fox shows up eventually too. I DID love the story where they all go to school to learn some basic French, since NONE of them can speak a word of it, except Ralph, and possibly Dmitri. Naturally the Injustice League also shows up and hilarity ensues. This book also had the episode with the regular League, when Guy was in his sweet little girl stage, and they had all gathered for a weenie roast at the Frees...complete with Booster and Beetle repossessing a tank, Fire and Ice getting a modeling job, and the Joker running around for some reason.
Silly? Yes. Oh yes. And yet somehow I really miss silliness sometimes. Maybe when people's limbs are being ripped off, and small children are being killed right and left, but again, that's just me. There must be some people who just LOVE that sort of thing, because Marvel and DC sure keep giving it to us.
I guess that I'm just feeling a little blue about all of the wintery whiteness that is piled up to the sills outside my windows. But tomorrow is Wednesday after all, and that is always a good thing. So try and stay warm, and read you comics.
Oh, and hug your cat if you have one.
I've posted this picture mainly because my own cat is trying to lick himself on top of the computer desk AS I am typing this, and because it always makes me smile. And because it's Tuesday, and so we could ALL use a smile.
I do remember that story that was in Justice League Quarterly, where Wonder Woman had the pajama party, which was a lot of silly fun. I rather miss the Quarterly books. It was a nice place to catch up with characters that couldn't necessarily carry their own book, but whom I was fond of, nevertheless.
I did manage to pick up the Justice League International volume that came out last week, although it is actually about the JLI: Europe branch of the League. Written of course by Giffen and DeMatteis, with art by Bart Sears.

Breakthrough Roles #1
Success stories are always associated with luck, but we all know it's all the hard work that increase your chances. This is especially true in the entertainment industry.
In this post, we are going to look at actors who spent years trying to live the dream and make it big in Hollywood. But sometimes it could mean playing many forgettable roles before hitting gold. The following are just three of examples of actors who has been prominently featured in movies, yet we don't seem to notice them until that one breakthrough performance.

Monthly Classics #1
Release Date : September 18th, 1951
Director : Elia Kazan
Starring : Vivien Leigh, Marlon Brando, Kim Hunter, Karl Malden
Plot
Recently divorced Blanche DuBois moves in with her sister in New Orleans. Already a troubled soul to begin with, her reality further deteriorates due to her brother-in-law's frequent aggravations.
Review
When I found out that I have a thing for the classic movies years ago, I credit this movie for getting the ball rolling. A common trait of movies in the 50's are the engaging dialogues, ambiguous characters and its full reliance on good actors to carry the movies; no CGI, no special effects, no nothing. While that might prove to be a turn-off for today's audience, since movie-watching habits had change since then. Therefore I would say that just like the rest, A Streetcar Named Desire might be a bit of an acquired taste.
Marlon Brando gave a very memorable performance as Stanley Kowalski, which is only one of the two main appeal of this movie. Make no mistake though, this is not really a comfortable film to watch. Stanley can be very fierce and brutish, yet there is a soft side to him, seen only in glimpses. Marlon Brando captured that persona so well that you end up not being able to decide whether to forgive him, or look away in disgust.
Regardless of what people might say, I maintain to this day that Vivien Leigh put up a stronger performance as Blanche DuBois. Strangely, she also evoked the same kind of duality that Stanley did. Despite the amiable nature of the character, her inability (or perhaps unwillingness) to embrace her reality as it is forces us to either feel sorry for her, or give up on her. Kind of like a drug-addict friend that you would like to help, yet he or she keeps on relapsing and there's only so much that you can take.
I guess what I'm trying to sell to you here is that, if you ever would like to give classic movies a chance, A Streetcar Named Desire might not be a bad place to start. If it's not to your liking, well, there are literally hundreds if not thousands of other gems in the old days that I'll be reviewing from time to time.
Stay tuned for next month's classics segment when I'll be reviewing yet another Marlon Brando movie, the infamous biker flick The Wild One [1953].
Coming Soon: The Green Hornet
I regret not covering this sooner, after I saw the trailer for the first time months ago. I remember getting excited about the movie, because I never had the chance to see the TV series starring the great Bruce Lee himself back in the late 60's. I hardly knew what was it all about, and I have a feeling that this movie will do to its franchise what the Star Trek [2009] movie did for the Star Trek franchise.
Bruce Lee, before the nunchucks... |
Reasons to be Excited:
- Directed by Michel Gondry, known to favour practical special effects over CGI. Combine that with his flair for clever visuals, it's gotta be great.
- Starring some of today's most lovable actors in Hollywood; Seth Rogen, James Franco, Cameron Diaz, and not forgetting, Edward Furlong's return to the mainstream.
- A brand new take on The Green Hornet franchise
- Mythbusters did a The Green Hornet special!! w00t!
One thing though, I don't know how Jay Chou will do playing Kato. He could be good, I don't deny that. But knowing that established martial artists like Jason Scott Lee and Stephen Chow were considered prior to the casting of Jay Chou, you can't help but have doubts. Ah well, let's give the guy a chance, shall we?
Coming Soon: Insidious
I was never much of a horror movie fan, particularly because I find them to be much too predictable to be entertaining. I know, I know... Lots of movies in different other genres can be as predictable, namely romantic-comedies and maybe to a lesser extent, action movies. But horror relies fully on the ability to "shock" people, and when you can see everything coming from a mile away, maybe it's time to go back to the drawing board.
A hunk and two skanks... Chances of survival: 0% |
Guess which of them is James Wan.. |
♪ Still Gettin' Jiggy Wit It ♫ |
But enough about that and brace yourselves for Insidious, coming soon on April 1st. I seriously doubt that this is actually just an elaborate April Fool's prank.
Boo! Gotcha!! April Fool |
Little is revealed about the plot, although you are welcomed to check out the teaser trailer HERE. But from what can be learned from reliable sources, it involves evil spirits and some kind of a nightmare you can't wake up from. Another reason to be excited, I guess; no torture porn this time around.
Yet another reason to be excited, this movie stars Patrick Wilson, pretty much a lesser-known actor around these parts. But he has a very enjoyable body of work, having starred and convincingly played his part in movies like Hard Candy [2005], Lakeview Terrace [2008], Watchmen [2009] and The A-Team [2010]. While I wouldn't tout this movie as potentially one of his best, I seriously doubt that I would dismiss his performance regardless.

Buried [2010]

Genre: Thriller/Drama
Rating: General
Comment: "Brilliant. Just brilliant..."
Comment: "Brilliant. Just brilliant..."
Set in contemporary times against the Iraq War as the background, the story revolves around a U.S truck driver Paul Conroy, who wakes up in a coffin, buried alive in the middle of a desert. What follows are his attempts to make it out alive.
Just him, a Blackberry, a Zippo lighter and sheer wit... |
What to Expect:Review1. Ryan Reynolds flexing his acting muscles this time around.2. The entire movie taking place inside the coffin.
3. Claustrophobia.
What NOT to Expect:1. Actually seeing any supporting roles.
Upon hearing the premise of the movie, I just knew this is going to be a one-of-a-kind movie; a thriller bordering on horror because it tackles a universal fear among human beings (except maybe Spartans and the Samurai of the old days); Death.
What's worst than death? How about stuffed into a coffin, with no other view and no place to go, just counting the seconds until you die. That's pretty much what this movie is about.
Notice how I wrote "Ryan Reynolds" three times for the cast, this is no mistake. Although we hear voices of other characters via a Blackberry phone, the camera never gets away from Ryan Reynolds, effectively making him the only star of this movie.

I have to say I have a whole new respect for his acting chops. Generally perceived as a douchey romantic lead thanks to movies like Just Friends [2005] and The Proposal [2009]. To a greater extent, he garnered attention as a formidable action star courtesy of his work in Blade: Trinity [2004]. With Buried, however, he took it all to a whole new level.
Again, as I did with 127 Hours [2010] one can't help but point out the lead actor's performance as he was literally the sole performer, it would be a gross injustice to take it for granted.
As for the movie itself, you'd be surprised that despite having only one character on-screen, things hardly get egocentric. The movie explores issues surrounding the Iraq War, greedy corporations, among others. Some of which may be a little too on the nose, but it hardly disrupts the experience.
I can't give the movie anything less than an A+.

127 Hours [2010]
Director: Danny Boyle
Cast: James Franco, Clemence Poesy, Amber Tamblyn, Kate Mara
Genre: Drama
Plot
Now, James Franco is one of the few actors with tremendous talent, yet many fail to look past his boyish, dashing good looks - no thanks to Sam Raimi's Spider-man movies. With Pineapple Express [2008], he gave us a very endearing and believable performance as a stoner, and that was for a Seth Rogen comedy movie. For a movie that is meant to motivate and elicit hope, expect nothing less than his trademark dedication to make a role as believable as it can get.

Comment: "Just like the true story it was based on, the movie has that indomitable will to live..."
Based on the real-life incident of Aron Ralston, an avid outdoorsman who got entrapped in a canyon after a boulder crashed on his arm. The title is derived from the amount of days he spent examining his life and chronicles his fight for survival.
What to Expect:Review1. Tight performance by James Franco.2. An altogether claustrophobic feel to the movie.
3. Danny Boyle's penchant for realism.What NOT to Expect:1. Plenty of characters.
I purposely left out Number 4 under the "What to Expect" column (although Num. 3 is kind of a hint), because it's a bit of a spoiler. Not exactly a big secret that we should all get hush-hush about, but still it involves a pivotal point in the story, so I'd rather leave that for your own discovery.

For a movie that is meant to motivate and elicit hope, expect nothing less than his trademark dedication to make a role as believable as it can get.
The reason why I made it a point to talk about James Franco is no doubt because this movie rests heavily upon his shoulders alone.
Aside from that, I have little to say about the movie other than it will invite you to examine your own life; and if you ever find yourself caught in the same predicament, will you ever find it in you the kind of will to survive seen only in movies? Well, this movie is pretty much a glorified documentary of the real event, so chew on that.
I give this movie an A, with its only flaw being a rather slow paced movie.
Green Lantern Corps #56
Oh, there is so much to love in this particular issue. As you may recall, the head Weaponer of Qward has kidnapped Soranik Natu in a misguided attempt to lure Sinestro back to Qward. The Weaponer is just a tad upset with Sinestro. They were the ones who forged his yellow ring, and who supported him, and he's treated them like the dirt beneath his feet. And they, or rather the Weaponer, Has Had Enough, by Cracky!
Naturally, Kyle grabbed a bunch of Lanterns and rushed off to free Soranik, and the Weaponer, using leftover bits of the LIFE force left inadvertently on Qward by Deadman, handed them their collective asses. Their firm, round taut asses, but asses nevertheless.
So...what does Sinestro do? He calls together his handy dandy Corps of Fear Mongers, and sens them to Qward FOR him. The Weaponer made the mistake of holding to ransom something that Sinestro values above all else. The Fear Corps starts guessing exactly what that is. His Ring? A Pet? A Woman? His fuzzy bunny slippers? Well, it ain't his daughter, but his DIGNITY! So Sinestro wants to know who is going to rid him of this turbulent priest...er...pest.
At this point I am smiling to myself, because to me, this is a pitch-perfect rendition of Sinestro.
So all the Sinestro Corps members show up on Qward, busy trash-talking and sneering at the poor hapless Green Lanterns. But they don't bother beating them up, because Sinestro is still abiding by the truce. But they ARE quite happy to open a can of whup-ass on the Weaponer. Much to their collective surprise, he's more than ready to take them all on. He even sets the Green Lanters free. The problem is that they really can't leap into the fight either, since they are supposed to be abiding by the truce as well. Man, diplomacy just sucks sometimes.
Kyle of all people figures out that they CAN fight the Sinestro Corps...just not using their rings. But barehanded is apparently just fine and dandy. And John leads the rest of the Qwardians into the castle and loads them up with some really spectacular weaponry. So there is a whole lot of nice violence, and then who should show up, but...Sinestro!
Wooohooo!
The Weaponer is happy to see him, and naturally, Sinestro can't resist lecturing him on strategy. Because that is what Sinestro would DO! And gosh darn it, but he's doing pretty darned well against the white light weaponry of the Weaponer. Possibly having wielded that power himself, has given him some experience in this.
And then finally, John shows up with the rest of the Thunderers and a whole passel of Really Big Guns.
This is fun, and loud and violent and oh heck...it's just fun.

Once Again...Reviews
And once again, boy was that a small week! Only a few books, and two of them were actually from LAST week. Still...not a bad haul.
On the expert advice of Lissbirds, and Saranga and several other people, I did pick up Batgirl #17. I am not a big Bat fan. So I hate to admit this...but I was charmed. Dammit, that obnoxious little brat is starting to grow on me. I am referring of course to young Damian. And I don't for a minute think that Alfred is a bad cook. But the art was pretty, and the story was fun, and it was more or less a done-in-one kind of story, which is pretty rare these days. So I just might keep up with this.
Batman & Robin #19. Concludes the story of the woman with the giant hole in her head. It was...a little on the weird side, if I do say so. Not terrible, per se, but still, in comparison to the wonders that came before, I was feeling a little let down. But it is always nice to see Dick and Damian interact. And I am SO looking forward to Tomasi and Pat Gleason, hopefully next month.
Brightest Day #18. Holy Guacamole! All KINDS of interesting things were going on in this book! I can't believe it, but I think that we are actually getting into the home stretch here, and it looks as though it is going to be a doozy of a finale.
You had Hawkman and Hawkwoman battling the evil Queen, (who incidentally is also Shayera's dear old mum) on Zamaron, which draws Carol Ferris into the donnybrook, not to mention that the Predator decided to bond with her. The Predator may be the Avatar of Love, but it is sadly lacking in discretion. Carol may be the new Queen of the Star Sapphires, but she's the first to admit that she may not have the hang of this Queenly sort of thing quite yet. Still...she's doing awfully well, all things considered. Evil Queen points out that since they killed Hath-Set, they are working on their last lives, and why the heck is Hawkman smiling then. He's smiling because she is on HER last life too, and the two Hawks then proceed to do a double whammy and that's the end of Mom. All the skeletons on the gate stir to life, and drag her away, and I have to admit that it is one heck of a thrilling moment. Then Carter and Shiera are suddenly clad in the White Light, while a disembodied voice congratulates them on a Job Well Done.
Carol congratulates them as well. Carter says that she and Hal know what True Love is, and Carol has to admit that they'll never have what the two of THEM experience, which is rather sad, but probably true. Oh Hal. She then sends them on their merry way.
Boston Brand in the meantime is having a panic attack, because he did what the ring said to do, and went out having fun with his Grandfather, when all of a sudden the white ring started charging up...just like the black rings did. This...makes him nervous. VERY nervous.
Carter and Shiera have landed back at Toad Hall...er...I mean St. Roch, and are busy trying to tear their respective clothes off...and who can blame them. Then Deadman shows up, dreadfully embarrassed, pointing the white ring at them. The Life Entity has the nerve to say that Carter and Shiera must "live separately to life life stronger." That seems a bit presumptuous, not to mention pretty damned mean, considering what the Hawks have just been through. Poor Deadman doesn't know WHAT is going on, while Carter tells the Entity to stuff it. When they decline to play games, the Entity says well just FINE then, and there is a whole lot of white light, and a lot of angst, and then a little pile of white dust where the Hawks used to be.
Well! It is pretty obvious that the Entity of Life is a real douchebag. Oh, and I forgot the bit at the very beginning where Captain Cold is all pissed at Boomer, because he let Zoom loose. Boomer however, is feeling just a bit odd, he knows that he is supposed to throw a boomerang at Dove, but he doesn't know WHY, and he WANTS to know why, which is a big step for Digger, really. And next up is the Aquawar! This is all rather thrilling, and it seems as though all the threads are going to be gathered together, hopefully into a fully woven tapestry of Awesomeness. Hopefully.
But man, it sucks to be a Hawkperson sometimes.
Green Lantern Corps #56. DagNAbit but this was good.
Justice League of America #53. You know what? THIS was pretty darned good too! James Robinson is doing a decent job of redeeming himself after the catastrophe that was Cry for Justice. This is a nicely paced, and decent story. It looks as though Omega Man and the BAD guys are going to win, and that there is nothing the JLA can do about it. Even Batman is giving up. Ah, but this is Batman. It may be Dick but it is STILL Batman...and Batman has a plan. It also ties in nicely with the Congorilla/Starman book that came out a week ago, so that was nice. So a nice end to this arc, and a good tale.
I liked ALL my books this week, which is always a good thing.

Carol may be the new Queen of the Star Sapphires, but she's the first to admit that she may not have the hang of this Queenly sort of thing quite yet. Still...she's doing awfully well, all things considered. Evil Queen points out that since they killed Hath-Set, they are working on their last lives, and why the heck is Hawkman smiling then. He's smiling because she is on HER last life too, and the two Hawks then proceed to do a double whammy and that's the end of Mom. All the skeletons on the gate stir to life, and drag her away, and I have to admit that it is one heck of a thrilling moment. Then Carter and Shiera are suddenly clad in the White Light, while a disembodied voice congratulates them on a Job Well Done.
Carol congratulates them as well. Carter says that she and Hal know what True Love is, and Carol has to admit that they'll never have what the two of THEM experience, which is rather sad, but probably true. Oh Hal. She then sends them on their merry way.
Boston Brand in the meantime is having a panic attack, because he did what the ring said to do, and went out having fun with his Grandfather, when all of a sudden the white ring started charging up...just like the black rings did. This...makes him nervous. VERY nervous.
Carter and Shiera have landed back at Toad Hall...er...I mean St. Roch, and are busy trying to tear their respective clothes off...and who can blame them. Then Deadman shows up, dreadfully embarrassed, pointing the white ring at them. The Life Entity has the nerve to say that Carter and Shiera must "live separately to life life stronger." That seems a bit presumptuous, not to mention pretty damned mean, considering what the Hawks have just been through. Poor Deadman doesn't know WHAT is going on, while Carter tells the Entity to stuff it. When they decline to play games, the Entity says well just FINE then, and there is a whole lot of white light, and a lot of angst, and then a little pile of white dust where the Hawks used to be.
Well! It is pretty obvious that the Entity of Life is a real douchebag. Oh, and I forgot the bit at the very beginning where Captain Cold is all pissed at Boomer, because he let Zoom loose. Boomer however, is feeling just a bit odd, he knows that he is supposed to throw a boomerang at Dove, but he doesn't know WHY, and he WANTS to know why, which is a big step for Digger, really. And next up is the Aquawar! This is all rather thrilling, and it seems as though all the threads are going to be gathered together, hopefully into a fully woven tapestry of Awesomeness. Hopefully.
But man, it sucks to be a Hawkperson sometimes.
Green Lantern Corps #56. DagNAbit but this was good.
Justice League of America #53. You know what? THIS was pretty darned good too! James Robinson is doing a decent job of redeeming himself after the catastrophe that was Cry for Justice. This is a nicely paced, and decent story. It looks as though Omega Man and the BAD guys are going to win, and that there is nothing the JLA can do about it. Even Batman is giving up. Ah, but this is Batman. It may be Dick but it is STILL Batman...and Batman has a plan. It also ties in nicely with the Congorilla/Starman book that came out a week ago, so that was nice. So a nice end to this arc, and a good tale.
I liked ALL my books this week, which is always a good thing.

I Am Stunned
I can hardly believe this. Joe Lieberman, the senior Senator from little ol' Connecticut has decided NOT to run for reelection in 2012.
Who...who will be my visual idea for Ganthet now?
Ok, ok, I'm exaggerating. A little. But only a little.
Who...who will be my visual idea for Ganthet now?
Ok, ok, I'm exaggerating. A little. But only a little.
Well No Wonder!
Hah! I'll bet you thought that this was going to be a post about Wonder Woman. Well...actually no. It is all because I had a really weird thought at work. This frequently happens, which I don't know is a fortunate or unfortunate sort of thing.
But anyway. In reading through my beloved old Green Lanterns, it has been stated that the reason that Sinestro couldn't ever be executed, was because...for some reason...Male Korugarians were simply the ultimate turn-on for the Zamarons. Why the heck would the Guardians even care about such a thing? Well, I'm glad that you asked. It appears that the Guardians of Oa and the Zamarons were ALL from Maltus, and when the Male Guardians decided to exchew emotions and go off and be omnipotent and stuff, the women decided that this was for the birds. And really, who can blame them? Apparently Korugarian men were perfect to scratch that itch. The Guardians, trying to be big about all of this, decided that Korugarian Men were to handled with care...so that the Zamarons couldn't come back and complain that the Guardians were being jealous and such.
It seems a tad complicated. But really, that's the reason that the Guardians were so shocked when...afer ABANDONING Oa, so that they could run off and make whoopie with the Zamarons (a sight witnessed by Hal Jordan, much to his chagrin) they...uh...FORGOT to tell the rest of the Lanterns who were still hanging around and wondering what to do with Sinestro. Appa Ali Apsa was there, but he also forgot. It is my considered opinion that Appa Ali Apsa wasn't dealing with a full deck to begin with, and that's the real reason that he lost his marbles later on.
So anyway...the point of all this rambling...is that I began to wonder just what species might appeal to Korugarian WOMEN. And although my choice of a sampling is rather small, it seems, that with Katma Tui and Soranik Natu...that the best man for the job is a HUMAN. From Earth no less. Once the laughing stock of Oa.
No WONDER Sinestro is always so peeved.
This incidentally is how Guardians make whoopie. Scary, isn't it?

Green Lantern: Emerald Warriors #6
And the $#!% well and truly hits the fan in the beginning of this issue. Guy and Ganthet's little tryst with Atrocitus is exposed to Arisia and Kilowog, and...they're not happy. Not happy at ALL.
Guy has explained that due to the lingering effects of the Rage infection, he's been having some weird dreams, and that he went to Ganthet for help. Ganthet is just about the only Guardian that he trusts right now, and really, who can blame him. Since Atrocitus seems to have the gift of prophecy, it would make sense that having possessed the Red ring, would give some of that talent to Guy.
Kilowog is just outraged that Guy would hide something this big from him, and Arisia is also furious. Guy is pleading for their forgiveness, but they are both too hurt and angry, and fly off and leave him. It...is a rather poignant moment. Bleez is still there however, having devoured the red blood ball that was vomited up by Guy earlier. Ick. Guy isn't particularly happy that he still has to deal with Bleez, but he makes the best of it, and they continue on their quest, although he does manage to get in a few verbal digs.
May I just pause and state that I am REALLY happy that Tomassi doesn't seem to be setting Guy and Bleez up as a romantic couple. It's fairly clear that she makes his skin crawl, and she's a little whacked out, and there is still Ice in the wings, so I'm happy for this.
Meanwhile, Sodam Yat is having an odd moment, floating in a trance with his power levels increasing. This seems odd. You would think that it would be the other way around. A couple of the kids that he rescued notice this, and give him a heads up, but he seems unaware of what just transpired. But he does sense the bodies of the murdered Lanterns on their way to Oa, and goes up to investigate, and discovers some rather nasty creatures who are...um...eating the bodies. This pisses Yat off to no end. Unfortunately for him, they start talking to him in Zardor's voice. He thinks that Krona was hiding something from him, and apparently it was Yat. Oh, the plot thickens.
Back on Kralok, Guy and Bleez are checking things out. There are guards everywhere, and some serious defenses. While Guy is contemplating what to do, Bleez hacks up a red daggar, that flies off...and takes out Every Single Guard. Messily. Guy is a bit testy, he was hoping for something a bit more subtle, but you have to admit that Bleez gets results. So off they go to the surface of the planet, with a wonderful little reference to "Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid". I don't know why it is that Guy always assumes that aliens have seen Earth movies, but he always does. Oh Guy.
They discover all of the helpless telepaths being held captive by Zardor, and boy howdy, the battle is on! Guy is actuallly holding his own at first, and Bleez's rage makes it hard for Zardor to get a fix on her mind. And then the snakes come out, and it gets a bit grisly. Zardor is messing with Guy's head, so that with all of the Will in the world, he can't quite get a bead on him with his ring...although being Guy it doesn't stop him from trying.
Oh, and then Yat shows up. Controlled by Zardor. Well crappity crap.
People had been complaining that the book was taking too long to get some action going. I have been enjoying it, I don't mind taking a deliberate approach, and quite frankly, I would enjoy seeing Guy sitting around eating toast. But I have to admit that there was a helluva lot of action in this issue! And the art is pretty. I still miss Pat Gleason, but I have to admit that I'm enjoying Pasarin's renderings quite a bit.
It is such a GOOD time to be a Green Lantern Fan.

Reviews...Finally!
I think that perhaps I am reading TOO MUCH Green Lantern stuff. Today I took a phone call at work, and the nice man at the other end was named Chip. Without even thinking, I wrote his name on my message pad as Ch'p. I think I'm losing it.
Well...it was a small week, and a hardly fought week, but by Gum, I finally have my books and they were all quite quite lovely.
Birds of Prey #8. That's a rather pretty cover for one thing. And an interesting story. It appears that Babs is playing a dangerous game with the Calculator, who has brought some heavy hitters into the mix, including the spooky chick who's touch makes you face all of your regrets. Naturally, this can be a bit distracting, especially when you are trying to kick some serious butt. And naturally, there is some serious butt-kicking going on. Heck even Batman shows up and contributes...and he's NICE about it! In his own fashion of course. There is also a smaller plot going on with Hank Hall, who is AWOL from the main battle, but who is having a little tete-a-tete with the Penguin.
So, lots of action, lots of new things happening, and oh, that little thing with Black Canary. Gosh, this was good.
Bosoter Gold #40. I have to admit to being a little bit confused by this issue. I liked it of course, I ALWAYS like seeing Booster, but it brings up an old foe of General Glory's, and he's researching Booster, and they have some of the facts, but not all of the facts of his past, and oh yes, for some reason, Rip decides to arrest his own father and take him to a trial in the 25th century. I mean...what the heck? But I'll still be here watching and reading of course.
Green Lantern: Emerald Warriors #6. Holy Crapafazoola!
Justice League: Generation Lost #17. Now this was genuinely a good issue. It didn't have any stupid and unnecessary retcons of origins, nor did Tora swear. Max showed up at the end of the last issue and kidnapped Jaime, and things are not looking too well for our humble new Blue Beetle. It was nice to see Mr. Reyes, although he didn't look at ALL like he is supposed to. Oh well. And Power Girl shows up, and there are wheels within wheels, and it all ought to start building to a crescendo pretty soon I would think. I STILL think that it would be awfully nice if Guy shows up and kicks Max's butt, but that's just me.
Secret Six #29. I laughed out loud. Seriously. Lex Luthor is playing cat and mouse with Vandal Savage, and the Six keep getting caught in the middle of their respective machinations. There is a simply fabulous scene where Lex is busy taunting Savage, and makes a stunningly insulting remark about the Six, then says offhandedly to Deadshot, "...no offense intended".
Deadshot replies completely deadpan. "Hey you're rolling. Stuff gets said. No skin off MY full lustrous head of hair, man."
I thought that I would fall on the floor. Best Zinger Ever!
But anyway there's a bomb, and there is considerable one-upmanship going on, not to mention Ragdoll seems to think that they've all died and gone to heaven, and Lori is channeling Doctor Fate, and they DO get blown up, and...oh heck, just go out and read it for yourselves. You WON'T be sorry. God, I love this book.
And finally, Thor: The Mighty Avenger #8. My absolute favorite Marvel book, and they are cancelling it. Oh, they have retroactively designated it as issue 8 of 8, pretending that it was a mini-series, but YOU know, and I know that it wasn't. DAMN YOU MARVEL! I'm beginning to think that I'm a jinx. Every time I really like a quirky little book, it ends up dying. To all the people who didn't buy this...it's a darned shame, because it was fun, and beautifully drawn, and beautifully written, and damn it...it was FUN!!!!
This was spectacular, with Thor being kidnapped by robots and then being helped by Iron Man. Of course, he initially thinks that Iron Man is another robot, but it all ends happily...except that there is a HUGE problem, in that we don't know who the bad guy was, or why he was doing what he was doing, and all the plot threads are left tangled and unanswered. Thanks a lot, Marvel.
So I loved it, but I'm left unsatisfied.

Can't Talk...Reading!
FINALLY! I can understand it if you are all getting a little bored with the story of my quest for comics, but they were finally in, and the snow stopped, and all is right with the world again. Whew!
So...I'll just shut up about it now, and go read.
Oh, and here's mostly nekkid Hal. Just for fun.
Oh Hal.
So...I'll just shut up about it now, and go read.
Oh, and here's mostly nekkid Hal. Just for fun.
Oh Hal.
Let Us Try This Again
Well! I had a nice little entry all typed out and ready, and then...the mouse suddenly went kerflooey on me. I don't know exactly what it is with me and computers, but somehow...SOMEHOW, they know that I am befuddled by them. Anyway, my Sweet Baboo just got home from work, bearing a NEW mouse, and voila! Here I am, penning these deathless words for your enjoyment. Or tapping them out on a keyboard. Quelle frommage.
So...the Giant Killer Snowstorm is still hellbent on rendering New Englad helpless in its icy assault. I have been informed that since I am considered "Non-essential" personnel, I won't have to brave the roads tomorrow, to come to work. I am not quite sure if I'm glad that I can sleep late, or if I am insulted. But it does mean that the UPS trucks probably won't be making it to my beloved comic book store either. Although...I do remember reading that they are starting a new thing, wherein the books are delivered to the stores the day before...but the store proprietors cannot sell them until Wednesday. This way there isn't a huge rush to get the boxes open and the books on the shelves on the busiest day of the week. Makes sense to me.
The end result of all of this is that I'll have to wait until Thursday before I can read Green Lantern or Booster Gold or Secret Six. This does not please me. This makes me quite surly. So I'll have to go back and read my OLD books. Which is actually not a bad thing.
Here's a little thing that I whipped up, after re-reading Green Lantern Corps 210, which is the one where Guy goes traipsing off to Russia to beat up Commies and fights Kilowog, and inadvertently ends up saving John and Katma. Oh, and he blows up a lot of stuff. It's quite fabulous.
Hal is testy, but he didn't actually do nearly as much saving as Guy, and that's why he's out of sorts.

Not On Comics Day!
Gah! Yet more snow is in the immediate forecast for New England, beginning on Tuesday evening and continuing into Wednesday. Not Wednesday! It's New Comics Day! The most hallowed day of the week! And Emerald Warriors is coming out! I'm busy working myself into a snit, and the snow hasn't even begun to fall yet.
You all KNOW how cranky I get when I can't get my new comics. Especially this week, which after the tiny amount of books that showed up last week, is bound to be decent, if only by comparison. \
Curse You, Weather Wizard!
