This is the official funko for Hal in Lanterns

Finally starting to re build my collection. Started with the Blackest Night Omnibus. I get asked a lot where I got the light up symbols from. The artist is no longer in business due to being unable to keep up with demand. But he did amazing work.

By Christopher McCulloch

Like we might tomorrow or later today but I want to see that thing in bright lighting and in full.

People keep saying it's brown. It's not. It's olive green.

Doubt we'll see John's.

Now that the full Lantern/Ring for Hal has been revealed I had some thoughts for the direction the series would go towards.

So obviously the biggest complaint about the ring was that it was gold, and the weakness to yellow yada yada. I felt like the whole parallax discussion was kind of drawn out and overall I'm not the biggest fan since it doesn't feel like the direction the show is going to take or something it just feels cheap.

So, my theory with the Gold Lanterns was that it's supposed to match the old style of Oa.

As some know the original Oa was a golden city, and so wouldn't it be natural that the rings of the Maltusians match the core design philosophy they've used for their buildings and such?

I was kind of thinking about this when I was rereading emerald dawn.

Then came the thread of Guy Gardner's ring not having the yellow appearance

Then came the simple solution that Guy is a newer member than Hal since he's seen as a veteran Lantern, so instead of modeling the ring off of the old Oa, just like the comics shifted Oa to a more metallic green planet.

Overall this helps me justify in my own mind why Hal's ring has gold on it, and keeps me excited for the Green Lantern show. Literally nothing will stop me from enjoying the show as long as it's not boring.

Quick Question: If we're going to give Kyle Rayner a new costume design in Green Lantern, can we at least make critical design elements like the symbol on said costume consistent?

(Attached: Interior panel from todays issue showing the intended new symbol. Covers for issues 36 & 37 showing a standard GL symbol. Interior panel from issue 36 where someone literally just drew a solid green circle. Solicited cover for GL 38 showing the same regular GL symbol.)

Context: This appears to be an old flyer for an in-store signing my great grandfather did at a comic shop. Thought it was pretty cool!

We made it folks. The best first appearance in the entire run. Guy Gardner debuts. I've never read this one and I've been so excited to get into it. Little did I know it's like one of those "What if Machine" episodes of Futurama.

"Earth's Other Green Lantern" - Hal is on Oa so the Guardians can show him some machines they have. One such machine allows them to view an alternate reality. One Hal had in mind was if the ring hadn't chosen him when Abin Sur died. As the machine shows, if Abin Sur had selected the other candidate, Guy Gardner would be the Green Lantern of sector 2814. Events follow fairly similar to Hal's journey, until the first fight with Sinestro. After Guy brings him to the Guardians and heads home, he takes a different route than Hal did. This route brings Guy close to a planet called Ghera where all the adults died out from a yellow plague, leaving only the children behind. Furthermore the children have all stopped aging. Their civilization was advanced so the children have lots of advanced tech and robotics to play with but they've also developed telepathy.

Guy is dragged down but two dueling robots, one orange and thr other blue. After stopping their shootout, Guy asks why they are fighting as the robots reveal they are in a war game set up by the children. An orange faction and a blue one have ever been at odds. Guy decides he will try to right this wrong but as he comes to a group of children, they telepathically take over his mind. Guy is but another robot to the blue faction who send him out against the orange faction. He destroys many orange robots until the orange kids and blue kids fight for control of his mind. Guy pushes his willpower to break free of both and finally gets them to settle down. The children agree to a truce and live in peace with the promise that Guy will visit again.

Guy rushes home to recharge his ring before it runs out of power, just making it before chanting his oath:

On world's afar or scenes at home,

Wherever the cause should make me roam,

Always I vow to fight the good fight,

To combat evil, with all Green Lantern's might!

Soon after, he finds he's contracted the yellow plague, and since the ring is powerless against yellow, it can't save him this time. Guy summons Hal Jordan as his replacement and acts as a pseudo Abin Sur for Hal. Hal takes up the mantle and creates his own oath.

With the story finished, Hal thanks the Guardians for that insight and asks if he can meet the real Guy Gardner. They say it is okay, so he heads out to find him. They make quick friends and promise to keep in touch.

​

Conclusion: Like I said before, this felt like Farnsworth showing Fry an alternate reality. I wonder if this is where Matt Groening got the idea? I'll be honest, I didn't know what to expect here. I knew this wouldn't be anything like the Guy we know now, but I guess I still thought he'd be rougher? I know he gets into a car accident later on that changes his personality some, but shit, this Guy is just regular.

Personality aside, the story itself is interesting, the alternate one that is. Planet Ghera sounds interesting and I wonder if Hal would try and locate it now to solve the problems there, but how would he avoid the yellow plague. Damn shame that Guy dies, but DC loves Hal Jordan that much I guess.

Finally, Hal locating Guy and becoming his friend is just weird considering the future. They barely get along and seeing them like this is almost unnatural. As a guy fan, I still loved it and I can't wait to see the real Guy again, 80s/90s notwithstanding.

Previous day

One poor DC decision/content at a time, i get to understand him a little more. Just let him reset time and start again at this point.

I just look at Lanterns, at old man Hal, who's 100% dying at the end of Episode 1 or by the end of the first Season and just sighing. Which is also why I'm abstaining from watching or even supporting Lanterns.

It's insane how much money DC would make if they just adapted everything from Geoff Johns Green Lantern, Dave Gibbons and Peter J. Tomasi and Tony Bedard's Green Lantern Corps, Green Lantern Emerald Warriors by Tomasi, and everything in the New 52 up to the end of Wrath of the First Lantern with Green Lantern, Green Lantern Corps, Green Lantern: New Guardians, and Red Lanterns.

There's a reason up to the end of this era of Green Lantern it sold so well that it was competing with other heavy-hitters such as Batman and so on. It's because this GL Era was written so well and with such interconnectivity that it was insane that they pulled it off as well as they did.

Its not much but we see a magazine referencing Coast City in the DCU.

Does anyone know if there is anyway to read Marv Wolfman's Green Lantern Run online? It's not on DC Universe Infinite. Is my only hope buying the individual issues?

Sinestro Corps collect to attack earth, I'm just about to read it now
(Green Lantern (2005) #24)
(Green Lantern Corps (2006) #16)

I've said it many, many times... anyone getting too excited about Lanterns show having any other GL Corps (aside from Guy) would be very disappointed. - The Lanterns SDCC news, via an interview, states there will be no other Lanterns in the show, this is straight from the show creator Chris Mundy. Not too many instances of them in uniforms either.

"In that ten-year gap (2016 to 2026), the events of DC Studios' Superman will have taken place, with Nathan Fillion's "fabulously obnoxious" Guy Gardner set to "be in the show a few different times." Mundy added, "There are a bunch of other people from the mythology, from the canon, but not the other Lanterns. We talk about them at different times, but they're not gonna interact with them in the course of this season."

How would you guys scale this three versions of Hal Jordan?

1. Hal Jordan God of Light (Justice League: The Darkseid War – Green Lantern #1)

2. Hal Jordan Spectre (Day of Judgment #5)

3. Hal Jordan Parallax (Zero Hour: Crisis in Time)

I didn't read said story's myself yet, but these appear to be the strongest versions of Hal Jordan so i was curious how they're scaled.

Both have some real Maverick vibes. very confident and very driven, which is both their greatest strength and weakness. don’t know how to give up, and will achieve any goal that they set for themself. But they sometimes takes it too far, becoming reckless and obsessive in the process. they also doesn't know how to compromise, which has negatively impacted their relationships and career.
don’t have much respect for authority and are frequently irreverent (which gets them into trouble), But they are also charismatic and loyal to their friends,

they also both have the whole “losercore” thing going for them that’s become pretty prevalent in both their characters.

That's something that needs to be cleared up. This article from EW mentions this. John is being trained as a backup hence the "Fucking Substitute Teacher" line from Hal in the trailer.

Edit: Yeah SOMETHING is gonna happen to Hal, it's obvious since Kyle Chandler isn't signed on for anything but he's not training John cause they think he will anytime soon but just if the time comes, they'll have someone ready.
