Y'know what? Now I don't have to read the first three issues of this!

― Huk-L, Tuesday, 19 October 2004 14:21 (twenty-one years ago)

Kyle's hair really sucks these days. He's got some bizarre ultra-conservative buzzcut. YOU'RE NEVER CONSERVATIVE ENOUGH FOR H.E.A.T. KYLE SO STOP TRYING.

― Vic Fluro, Tuesday, 19 October 2004 15:05 (twenty-one years ago)

Hey Kyle, I hear the 57th Century needs a Solar Director!

― Huk-L, Tuesday, 19 October 2004 15:10 (twenty-one years ago)

I don't get it.

― Vic Fluro, Tuesday, 19 October 2004 16:11 (twenty-one years ago)

Hal Jordan was frequent kidnapped to the 57th C and brainwashed into thinking he was Pol Manning, Solar Director, to battle menaces from the future.
During the Englehart GLC run, Salakk, the pink alien with four arms, got the call and decided to stay. I don't know if he's still there or what. I don't remember if he came back when the GLC executed Sinestro.

Whoops, 58th C.

― Huk-L, Tuesday, 19 October 2004 16:44 (twenty-one years ago)

Er, also, of course Salakk came back! To warn the GLC what would happen if they put Sinestro to death...which they did anyway!
When is DC going to collect the Englehart/Staton GLC run?

― Huk-L, Tuesday, 19 October 2004 16:48 (twenty-one years ago)

I just wanna say that I've officially lost my cool in anticipation over all this as of...right...NOW!
THere it goes.

― Huk-L, Tuesday, 19 October 2004 17:07 (twenty-one years ago)

Settle down, Beavis.

― Butthead-L, Tuesday, 19 October 2004 17:10 (twenty-one years ago)

I just posted my first flame-type thread on the DC GL MB.

― Huk-L, Tuesday, 19 October 2004 19:17 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh man, please tell me it's about Pol Manning.

― Tep (ktepi), Tuesday, 19 October 2004 19:22 (twenty-one years ago)

No, I just told a guy who was pompously going on about how he doesn't need to read Rebirth because to him the last ten years never happened that I respected his right to be insane.

― Huk-L, Tuesday, 19 October 2004 19:27 (twenty-one years ago)

My general feeling about GL Rebirth is that it sounds like it's just one of those series that sets Y up so X can happen, where X is the interesting stuff -- a housecleaning kind of thing, like Man of Steel or Zero Hour (Crisis might be the only example of this where the process is more interesting than the product -- although post-MOS Superman wasn't any great shakes, either). I'll wait and see X unless I hear really good things about Y. I have no problems with Hal coming back, I just don't think I'm very interested in how he gets here (except Parallax not being Hal sounds like dumbness on the "Aunt May was an actress" level).

xpost! I'm not saying the same thing that guy's saying. The last ten years happened :)

― Tep (ktepi), Tuesday, 19 October 2004 19:29 (twenty-one years ago)

Holy cow, Tep, if you don't know by now that in comics the build-up is almost always better than the payoff...or maybe that's just DC.
I don't know, from the previews it sounds like it's going to be a very big adventure with a cast of thousands and a lot of the set up has already been going in the Geoff Johns' Flash and JSA and there's going to be a big rallying of the super-troops to battle Parallax and oooh ooh ooh!

― Huk-L, Tuesday, 19 October 2004 19:34 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm not saying it won't be good, but in the end, the story is being told not for its own sake, but to make Hal viable again -- which is a good thing, and if it's done with a good story, all the better. But ultimately what I'm most interested in is the Hal stories that'll result (cause if we didn't expect those to be good, we wouldn't care if he came back, right?)

The cover upthread means I'm at least gonna flip through it, though.

― Tep (ktepi), Tuesday, 19 October 2004 19:38 (twenty-one years ago)

The concept of someone describing themselves as a Green Lantern fan in the year of our lord 2004 is just.. bizarre.

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Tuesday, 19 October 2004 19:42 (twenty-one years ago)

Have you read Green Arrow: Archer's Quest?

― Huk-L, Tuesday, 19 October 2004 19:42 (twenty-one years ago)

xpost.

― Huk-L, Tuesday, 19 October 2004 19:43 (twenty-one years ago)

The concept of someone describing themselves as a Green Lantern fan in the year of our lord 2004 is just.. bizarre.

In 2003, you've got a point, in 2004 though! After New Frontier and with Rebirth looming (2 weeks!)...you gotta be kidding me!
Actually, it remains to be seen whether or not I am a GL fan in 2004.

― Huk-L, Tuesday, 19 October 2004 19:47 (twenty-one years ago)

Yeah, I thought about Green Arrow as a counter-example, so I don't know.

― Tep (ktepi), Tuesday, 19 October 2004 19:49 (twenty-one years ago)

I made the GA remark in reference to the GLR4 cover, but yeah.

― Huk-L, Tuesday, 19 October 2004 19:51 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh oh oh -- no, I don't think so, I've read the Kevin Smith arc, but I guess that was actually called Quiver.

― Tep (ktepi), Tuesday, 19 October 2004 20:23 (twenty-one years ago)

Archer's Quest was written by Brad (Identity Crisis) Meltzer and was pretty good, most for the way he made Quiver a moot point by beginning each issue with "I was dead. I came back." which is all you need to know in the DCU. In it, GA and Speedy/Arsenal go around and pick up the personal items Ollie left behind when he diea, scattered across America. Among the items: his JLA membership certificate, the diamond arrow head he used in his first case with the JLA, a Flash costume-changing ring, and, shock!!! A GL ring left in the pick-up truck from the O'Neil/Adams days! So that's where the ring on the cover comes from.

― Huk-L, Wednesday, 20 October 2004 15:14 (twenty-one years ago)

So now I'm just egging the guy on on the GL DC MB. Y'know, because since Parallax had dominion over the time stream, he ALWAYS exists, and thus all the glitches and inconsistencies in continuity are just P'lax fuckin' with all y'all. Except the DC MB won't let me say "fuck". One more reason why ILC rules.

― Huk-L, Wednesday, 20 October 2004 19:12 (twenty-one years ago)

NOOOOOOO If they realise that they'll have another CRISIS-ZERO-HOUR-OF-THE-GODS event to WIPE THE TIMESTREAM CLEAN!!

― Vic Fluro, Wednesday, 20 October 2004 22:28 (twenty-one years ago)

So why is Alan Scott so thirsty? Could it be that he's finally acting like the 85-year-old he is?

― Huk-L, Thursday, 28 October 2004 13:55 (twenty-one years ago)

He just needs a cup o' soy milk.

― David R. (popshots75`), Thursday, 28 October 2004 14:06 (twenty-one years ago)

Isn't Alan Scott the embodiment of the ring or something? Like HE HIMSELF is his own power source? If Hal / Parallax is mucking w/ all the other GLs, then it seems that Sentinel (is that his superduper name) getting parched is par for the course.

I didn't realize Guy Gardner was GENETICALLY MODIFIED to become Warrior. Oy.

― David R. (popshots75`), Thursday, 28 October 2004 14:08 (twenty-one years ago)

Guy: Yeah, looks like that's being removed like the hairy mole it is, though.
Alan: That's what I'm thinking, too. His connection to the Starheart (the "wild magick" that gave him power) is what's kept him young despite being an 85-year-old. So if Parallax is trying to grab his power, he could start aging, pdq.

― Huk-L, Thursday, 28 October 2004 14:11 (twenty-one years ago)

Stupid fanboy request: Bring back the lame nice Guy w/ the bowl cut & turtleneck! And have him team up w/ G'Nort!

― David R. (popshots75`), Thursday, 28 October 2004 14:14 (twenty-one years ago)

Isn't that what's going to be revealed as the real reason Hal went cuckoo and destroyed the Corps?

― Huk-L, Thursday, 28 October 2004 14:16 (twenty-one years ago)

this was great. questions: why was joe dimaggio begging hal jordan for forgiveness?

― cinniblount (James Blount), Friday, 29 October 2004 21:20 (twenty-one years ago)

Ask Marilyn.

― David R. (popshots75`), Friday, 29 October 2004 21:43 (twenty-one years ago)

i liked john stewart blowing his top at batman - "why don't you just...just..GET OFF MY BACK!!! YOU'RE NOT EVEN A REAL BAT, YOU'RE JUST A MAN!"

― cinniblount (James Blount), Friday, 29 October 2004 21:44 (twenty-one years ago)

Tell me that's an actual quote.

Only possible response. "Yes. A BAT MAN!! Therefore WHO IS BEST? It is ME - BATMAN!!"

― Vic Fluro, Friday, 29 October 2004 22:34 (twenty-one years ago)

it's not that far off from the actual quote

― cinniblount (James Blount), Friday, 29 October 2004 22:38 (twenty-one years ago)

Does Batman break down and cry? "You're right! Sob! All this time I've been a bat - not a man! No more echo-location for me, it was merely a way not to hear what truly mattered, not an ultrasonic sound bounced off the wall of a cave but the criticism of my fellow men!"

― Vuc Fluro, Friday, 29 October 2004 22:46 (twenty-one years ago)

no he just looks at him with this spicoli look all 'YOU DICK!'

― cinniblount (James Blount), Friday, 29 October 2004 23:00 (twenty-one years ago)

That's probably how I'd look under the circumstances. "Look at you - wearing a coat! YOU'RE NOT A COAT, YOU'RE A MAN."

― Vic Fluro, Friday, 29 October 2004 23:02 (twenty-one years ago)
