My god this is a good GL issue

Poor writing with this and last issue in not acknowledging past big characters but they do that I guess in comics a lot sometimes. This is all leading to the Fractual corps thing happening next year isn’t it?

When I read through Bendis’ Young Justice title I developed a theory as to his intentions for Kelli’s backstory. Although I don’t know what he had planned for her development, I got the impression that he envisioned that gauntlet and the lantern who wielded it as beings from an alternate reality. Almost the entirety of the series is about alternate dimensions and it begins with an incursion from Gem World in response to irresponsible multiversal shenanigans from certain directors at S.T.A.R. Labs. I could be off base with the theory, but I think it would be cool for writers to explore that idea in the future. Overall, I imagine Bendis was inspired by Krona’s gauntlet that Venditti gave Hal.

Thanks for the review Dan! Whoa. A lot popping off here. This run looks fun and exciting but in this arc the story is getting really sloppy. Too much is going on with little to no reason. I am happy a Green Lantern Corps series is coming out next year to spread the stories and characters of the G.L. corner of the DC out. I am with you on how can they ignore an important character to the modern mythos like Saint Walker. Oh well. All will be well. Take care and peace everyone.

THE WHITE LANTERN RETURNS

I guess they didn't notice saint walker due to everything else going on? still weird though. Hope you'll have a good day

nice

I bet in the finale the source lantern will explode and destroy oa, thus nessasitaing the green lantern core hq needing to be relocated to earth. I hope this means we'll have the original new guardians being reassembled

He traced the red rage energy signature to mogo. Obv he needed to transfer our the red charge on mogo to himself since he realized that mogo was compromised. And knew that mogo was used by krona...

Damn I really hope they don't reduce the core again it feels like every 5 years it is near extinction before magically replinishing their members when the plots call for it. I did expect white lantern Kyle ever since we saw the entire spectrum concentrated and Kyle freaking out, it was still very satisfying and I hope they don't waste the moment.

Nice.

im binging your gl stuff and like it so far, good work

I'd say Kilowag is a sign itself to discount Lois tale.

I'm really curious, are there any other perks to a Blue Lantern than just boosting Green? Or is that just the one thing they do?

I just watched your video on your favorite GL runs. I just checked some and I was IMPRESSED at the amount of titles availablein the 90s: Tales of the GL Corps Quaterly, Guy Gardner and Darkstars...maybe more? Question, how can there could be so many? And that was GL. Not the other DC titles.

And he's gay! 😀

This is my first hearing of Malvolio. Which issues feature him??

the old Red Lantern .this is almost similar to the Sentry. Sentry from Marvel Comics . yes, it pretend the Sentry existed in the 1960's but it turned out to be a hoax. this old Red Lantern is a Hoax.

Theres no reason for that many GLs. With 4 there were already too much. The only reason Jessica became popular was because she was the first (and should have been) human GL. And since Geoff Johns created Simon and did nothing with him he just got around. This is what I´ll do: 1- Hal be the MAIN Lantern. 2. Kyle a White Lantern. 3. Guy a Red Lantern 4. Simon to the Far Sector. 5. Jessica takes turns with Hal every now and then. 5. Stewart an Alpha Lantern.

Teen Lantern is THE WORST character ever created. Particularly for Green Lantern. 1. The GL Corps are basically police officers. Would a police recruite a kid to join the forces? 2. Would anyone handle a gun to a kid? No. So instead lets give a power ring (the most powerful weapon in the DC universe to a kid). Not even that, Krona´s Gauntlet that´s even more dangerous. 3. Green Lanterns don´t have teen sidekicks for the same reason. 4. The title doesn´t even make sense. The kid can´t be a Teen Lantern since she´s 11 years old.

Green Lantern became my favorite character after getting tired of DC placing Batman (my then favorite character) everywhere and had him overcome everything. Even situations where metas like Flash or Superman couldn´t handle. I started with the Sinestro Corps War. Didn´t know what to expect since then I barely knew anything of the GL Corps lore. Blew me away! If Blackest Night wasn´t as spectcular as it is, for sure, Sinestro Corps War would have been the best run on the character. So glad you liked Red Lanterns. I do too. But I do love the entire run. When Atoricitus lead the team the comic was its own unique thing and later when Guy took over another. Both great. However, the Atorocitus part suffered because of several mandated crossovers. I understand why DC decided to just give us "short runs" of Red Lanterns and Sinestro Corps. Because they are meant to be the antagonists of the GLs. If we end up loving them then there´s no difference between them and the GLs. After watching your video I´d wish I could own most of them. Particularly GREEN LANTERNS CORPS QUATERLY and the entire Kyle Rayner run. If I were DC this is how I´d handle the human GLs: Hal Jordan the main GL, Kyle a White Lantern, Guy a Red Lantern, Simon to the Far Sector, Jessica to take turns with Hal every now and then and Stewart to the Alpha Corps.

9:46, 14:35, Not only does the use of regular skills and technology give the team capabilities beyond just their powers, but it coming into play when their powers alone aren't enough works very well as part of a superhero narrative in general, as characters being as resourceful as they are powerful makes them more interesting. 22:10, So "pride leads to jealousy, jealousy leads to greed, greed leads to suffering" is really how that speech should have gone. But in regards to Green Lantern, it's themes center more on emotional regulation and ego management than just suppressing negative emotions or using only positive emotions like hope, compassion and love as fuel for one's will. In negative circumstances, hope can be obscure harsh truths with convenient lies, compassion can stall necessary judgment with excessive mercy, love can lead to blind devotion and jealousy, meaning that while they can fuel one's will, that same will must be used to regulate them just as much as with fear, anger or greed, which is also why the Green Lanterns are at the center of this conflict. The only purely "evil" emotion in this Spectrum really is greed, because it's the desire to have, to keep and to do, even at others' expenses, and a system built off it encourages treachery, which can destroy that system from the inside out under the weight of several competing wills (hence why there's only one Orange Lantern). Guy hear tempers his anger with compassion and love, uses it to fuel his will to make positive changes, not as a means to indulge himself (at least not primarily), which is also the same for other heroic Red Lanterns like Razor. If this side of DC's mythology is going to be adapted into shows or movies with wide-reaching audiences, there should be the intent of focusing on this theme of emotional regulation and ego management, that balancing emotions can allow people to fully discover themselves, so that even if their are negative aspects to people, even if they may inherently lean towards one emotion or other (as represented by what Lantern Corps they're in) simply due to personality, any one of them has the potential to strive for something better.

Yeah, I agree. Geoff Johns should have put Predator back into being an aspect of Carol if he wanted her to accept him. Then he could have made it about accepting the darker aspects of yourself of something

What do you think about how parallax hal jordan was killed in beware my power?.Does it mean that lanterns could be killed with an arrow or a knife/sword??

Would love if you did a review on the zero hour special that came out recently for the 30th anniversary

This was such a marvelous recap, reading this series as it was being released was my favorite time in my comic book reading history, and you gave that feeling back to me 7 fold and for that I thank you Now can you do 3 prequel series? First- Geoff Johns Green Lantern (Hals return to life and the corps) Second- The Sinestro Corps War And finally Third- The War of Light (before the first black ring)

Loved the teamwork of the various lanterns

Why does Thanagar always get clapped? It's happened twice but still...

As The Grand Priest of The Temple of the Algorithm, I bless this video with a comment.

Thank you for your Videos. Green Lantern Comics are so hard to read. I read the Comics but i understand nothing. They made the Green Lantern Stories too complicated.

Thank you Dan. Wow this was a short one. Lot of high octane action. This is a solid way to follow up that goofy Civil Corps special. The entities have been gone for that long?! Holy cow. Yeah bring em back. Super pumped for the next video. This G.L. run has me excited for the emerald knights in a way I haven't felt since Vendetti's excellent run. Take care and peace everyone.

I wouldn't worry about the thanagarians this isn't the first time they've lost a Homeworld

Nice

Its great to see an Entity, but can we call it something other than 'Predator?' How about 'Doge'?

19:19 I didn't notice Batman in Wonder Woman's vision at first.

Sad that thanagar keeps getting destroyed

Got hyped about predator reveal at end of this issue. Hope you're having a good day

Haven't been keeping up, how is Kyle doing nowadays? are they still writing about him?

I love these reviews. I live rural so I can only really read comics when they come out as a trade online so watching this series unfold in your videos is super fun and gets me excited to read the next volume

3:07 my theory is that because the emotional spectrum is so out of whack post source lantern that it allow her to tap into it or the gauntlet tech is more advance than we thought

: O

Why are your videos getting less and less views??

I have read every issue of Green Lantern since showcase number 22. I am envious of your commentary and how you can tie storylines together and bring into current relevancy parts of the mythos that I have long forgotten. Has it really been 10 years since we have seen the emotional entities?

Thanks.

Just finished your playlists for the Jeremy Adams run and War Journal! Thanks for helping me catch up! Now, i plan to follow along with the issues myself.

1 minute, 1 view, oh how the mighty have fallen;(

Wow, great video. Things are really popping off here. I have a feeling this one-shot was supposed to be a crossover between Adams and PKJ's G.L. series. DC obviously pulled the plug on PKJ series and for whatever reason shoved a heavily condensed and rushed version into this one-shot. This issue seems more about ending plot threads, stating new ones, and bringing all the main characters back together. At least there is a lot of cool stuff going on which I cannot wait to see where it goes. The art is super weak. Salvador Larroca is not an impressive artist to say the least. His figure work and body movements are getting worse as time goes by. He has always been awful with providing detailed backgrounds. As you pointed out just some kind of background at all. I really wish they had let the cove artist, Brad Walker, do the interiors. He does amazing work. It would have beaten what was given. Look forward to the upcoming reviews of this G.L. run! Take care and peace everyone.

Mogo no they made my bby boy evil
