Oh Booster. Oh TED! If that IS Ted...but it sure looks like Ted. Kind've cool the way that they've adapted his costume to the Black Lantern look though. Very stylish.
It looks as though Ted is making a Booster-sized pinata for Halloween.
Oh Gee!
Concerning my post of yesturday, and my concern over the fate of Ted Kord. Funny thing happened while I was browsing amongst the blogosphere!

Wither Ted?
So...my greatest fear, next to Guy getting killed off in Blackest Night, is Ted Kord coming back as a Black Lantern. I thought that Geoff Johns had assured us that Ted was actually ALIVE! I've been trying to keep believing in it, but rumors keep persisting.
If Ted Kord DID come back as a Black Lantern, I would have to say that the heroes of the world would be in for a world of trouble. Remember all the havoc that he and Booster managed to cause when they were alive and GOOD? The concept of an Evil Ted is...terrifying.
Here's a small example of what Ted could do when he wasn't in his right mind. This is from the old JLI, when Ted was being mind-controlled by that mean old Queen from Bialya into doing her wicked biding. He's actually beating up Amanda Waller. Amanda Waller! She intimidates Batman, for God's sake! And this is with no super powers whatsoever.
Be afraid Booster. Be very very afraid.

God, I Hate Computers
I FINALLY managed to get my fershlugginer computer to stop kicking me off at random moments...at least temporarily. The laptop, seems to need some sort of disk or password or something.
*sigh*
Curse you Technology!
Anyway, I'll do my best to keep going, but if there are gaps in my posting, you will know that the spirit is willing, but the equipment is fragile...or something.
I did spend the morning, wearing leggins and a tricorne hat, marching with a flag in a fife and drum corp parade...in the pouring rain. But the beer and the barbecued chicken made it all worth while. The rest of my insane family have all gone off from the Windsor Muster, to the Tavern, and thence to the Southwick Fireman's parade this evening. I however, have called it a day, since I actually need to work on this whole "marching" thingie. Who knew that putting one foot in front of the other could be so complicated?
In doing the morning newspaper's crossword puzzle however one of the clues was "Guy's pal". Obviously the answer is "Kyle", but there weren't enough letters. I may write in and complain.
Did everyone ELSE have a nice weekend?

Green Lantern Corps #40
Well! Arisia...(you all remember Arisia?) has decided to shake the bigoted dust of Daxam from her feet forever. She's also sorry about what happened to Sodam Yat, but doesn't think that she can do anything about it right now. So, looking for a little bit of peace and quiet, she wends her way back to Oa.
Well golly, but is SHE in for a heck of a surprise! The protective shell is shattered, the Guardians are missing in action, and the Black Rings have invaded and are wreaking untold havoc. Not exactly the peace and quiet that she's looking for. To add to her troubles, her dead family decides to show up and needless to say, poor Arisia is a bit on the freaked side.
She's not the only one, as Jade hauls Kyle up to the upper atmosphere, the better to woo him. For a dead girl, Jade is actually looking pretty good, and I fear for poor stupid Kyle. Especially since the Black Ring is viewing his aura, showing "love", "will" and "compassion". Hmmmm...first time that compassion has shown up.
Speaking of compassion, our adorable little Star Sapphire Miri, is hot on the trail of Kryb, who is searching for her children. Surprisingly, Miri agrees to help her, and the unlikely pair are off on their own quest.
Back on Oa, Salaak, Vath and Isamot have stumbled upon the black gooey apparent remains of the Guardians. Vath is smart enough to notice that there are only eight blotches, and by the way...weren't there NINE Guardians? Just then, the Alpha Lanterns show up, puffing up their chests and declaring that They Are In Charge of Oa. Salaak, bless his vinegar little heart, calmly shoots THAT theory down. He whistles up a hologram created by the Guardians, setting the rules and line of succession. The commznd of the Corps falls first to the Clarissi and then the Illustres...namely Salaak, and then Guy and Kyle as Honor Guard. The Alpha Lanterns are quite noticeably NOT mentioned in the chain of command.
This does not make them happy.
However, Salaak has a reply for that as well.
Heh heh. Guy really does have a way of growing on people.
And talking about growing, Jade is all over Kyle like a fungus. Fortunately, Kyle is NOT as stupid as I had feared, since he has Jade's number pretty well, and Blows Her Up. She's not too happy about this turn of events and breaks out the big guns, mainly all of his OTHER dead girlfriends and loved ones. That's a low blow, Jade.
Over at the burial site of all the executed prisoners, the Black Rings have also shown up in force, and now we see the true machinations of Scar, as all those dead nasties, come back to even nastier sentience, adn start ripping the hearts out of befuddled Lanterns. However, as per Salaak's wise instructions, no rings are flying off to chose more Green cannon fodder.
Some of our favorite dead Lanterns make their appearance, notably Katma Tui, who one poor fool thinks is going to save him, but she actually grabs his heart. Oops. Bzzd pops up and is making short work of some other Lanterns, when he's caught by some green construct chop-sticks. Smooth move, Guy! Guy is actually trying to reason with the little fellow, but not getting anyway unfortunately. Bzzd tries to fly right through him, the way that he did Mongul, but is squished by Guy instead, which makes Guy regretful, but not for too long, since Ke'haan shows up and impales his thigh on one of his horns. THAT'S gonna hurt in the morning1
Finally, Black Lanterns have shown up at the infirmary on Oa, ready to feast on the mostly helpless wounded. However you know that's not going to happen without a struggle, as Soranik and Iolande show up in a lovely lovely cliff hanger. Kyle! You Idiot! She's TONS better than Jade! Even when Jade was alive!
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 going on.
Good. Oh, so good.

Wow, it's Late
Had to go to work, and then go grocery shopping, and then prowl the car lots with my sweet baboo, who is looking for a new truck...it's a miracle that I even managed to fit in getting the new books today...but it was SO worth the wait.
Green Lantern Corps, Booster Gold, Doom Patrol, Incredible Hercules, Secret Six, Wednesday Comics,Blackest Night: Batman, and Superman: World of New Krypton.
I am no longer pouting. Oh happy happy, joy joy.
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 Karu Sil figures! Oh be still my heart. Maybe that means that Soranik Natu and Iolande are on the horizon!

Well, Poo!
That's the polite and child-friendly way of saying, "oh Crap!" It' Wednesday, but the books don't come out until tomorrow. And there are a crapload of really really GOOD ones! Green Lantern Corps! Booster Gold! Secret Six! And more!
I swear, my steering was twitching at the exit to my beloved comic books store as I drove by, on my way home from work. Now I have to wait another whole day. Don't the UPS people know that I have NEEDS?
Man, Sea of Green is posting less, and the Absorbascon is on hiatus, and now I have to wait a whole day to get my comics. I'm...I'm pouting.
Hal really does pout beautifully.

Oh Hal
I know, I know, I've used that same title over and over again. I say the same thing to Dwayne quite frequently. I just can't help it when it comes to Hal. He's SUCH a doofus sometimes.
So...what would YOU do if you had the power of the Ring?
Apparently this guy just wants a cheap vacation. Well...that and a chance to be carried around by Mister Charisma here. Oh Hal. I know that all the other Lanterns think that you're just the ginchiest, but you should REALLY try and build up some sort of resistance to all that mind control.
What would you do if you could order Hal around? Personally, I would like a tour of the nearest Nebula...the stars would certainly be pretty...and then some black raspberry ice cream.
