Funny thing is, I hated "space" comics.

Shi'ar from marvel
Kree
Skrull
anytime the Xmen went to space
Green Lantern Corps
Legionaires


but I am absolutely inthralled with this storyline. Ive always loved the team up of Hal and Green Arrow. but this is the first time I have read a space story and enjoyed it all.

good job, DC. Marvel could learn a thing about storytelling

Hal and Green Arrow? You mean Hal and Barry or is there an issue I missed?

 

[cjf28]

no, I just mean in general. in history, I liked those two together. thats how I learned to enjoy Hal Jordan was the old teamups with Ollie.

My favorite GLs

Hal
G'Nort
Guy (when he got knocked out by Batman)

 

[The Mike]

Ah...I get it. Yeah, the GL/GA stuff was really well done. Although I like the team up of Barry and Hal so far.

 

[cjf28]

too many Flashes. Im easily confused

 

[The Mike]

Well technically there are only three and a Kid Flash. Jay Garrick, Golden Age Flash (the one with the helmet), Barry Allen, the Silver Age Flash, Wally West, the Modern Age Flash who was the first Kid Flash (He was Barry's wife's nephew). The Modern Kid Flash, Bart Allen is Barry and Iris's grandson. Barry dies and recently returned from the grave which plays into the Black Lantern storyline which is when Wally took over the mantle. Now that Barry is back, Wally is going create a different persona and different costuming to continue crimefighting.

Those are the only important ones to know.

 

[cjf28]

yea, thats not confusing at all

 

[Darth Snoopy]

I loved the GL & Green Arrow comic as a kid, the Dennis O'Niel & Neal Adams run was the BEST!

 

[Buttmunch]

I'm sad there is no new Blackest Night comic coming out today

I'm right there with ya, Buttmunch, disappointed at seeing nothing related to BL myself.

 

[cjf28]

has anyone seen this picture? the first one on the left? White Lantern?

 

[The Mike]

White would make sense symbolizing "Life" the opposite to "Death". That may be where we are heading to combat the Black Lanterns since Black is the absorbing of all colors and White is the reflection of all. I'm more interested in the Black Lantern rosters, whether they'll be permanent and what is going on with the Indigo Tribe which seem to have control of multi-colored spectrums while having no actual rings on them.

 

[Avfin]

Sad too no GL books----I wonder if Black will take over then White Lanterns will appear...
I hope not--I say the Black Lanterns should rule for awhile

 

[cjf28]

Im wondering how many black lanterns will come back to the land of the living?

 

[The Mike]

Well if you look at the panels of Blackest Night there looks to be thousands of rings heading to multiple universes. We know that they will even arrive at Oa arising the dead Lanterns buried there.

 

[Buttmunch]

Im wondering how many black lanterns will come back to the land of the living?

Good question. Will the Martian Manhunter, Abin Sur, Hawkman and Hawkgirl all return to normal after this is over? Or will they stay dead? Or will the Black Lanterns just win and thus require a DC rebbot again?

I definately think this run will be one of those historic ones. Not those ones that everyone forgets about. There could be a lot of happy returns here or just an epic fail on the heroes' part.

Hmmm...it does look like there's a possibility of White Lanterns in that pic.

I'm wondering about the Indigo Tribe and what their role in all this is.

I'd like to see the BL Corps linger around for awhile myself. They're just getting started and they already are a significant threat!

Same here...personally I'd like to see Aquaman & J'onn J'onzz return to the land of the living.
