Green Lantern

Did anyone enjoy the recent "Sinestro Corps War"?

Also check out my Green Lantern Corps site here, and message board here.

I haven't read much Green Lantern before, but I did pick up the Showcase Presents with the first several issues of the silver age Lantern.

Cool. As it is, the Silver Age Lantern is now the Modern Age Lantern again... for better or worse.

Or until Jones f*cks off and DC can get a writer who respects the audience that Kyle had built.

Dont' get me wrong, I love Jordan and despise Raynor, but Jordan's time as GL is over and his evolution into Paralax was completly reallistic and logical for a human being used by a higher power

I've only read some of the specials, like the Cyborg Superman special, Superman Prime Special, and the first Sinestro Corps Special. I'll probably wait and pick up the trades, but I really want to check it out. I've also been meaning to pick up the trade of GL: Rebirth, as Johns seems to be breathing new life into GL, even if he's doing it with old air (Jordan). I don't mind too much, I always liked Hal Jordan and like seeing him back.

About the best thing about "Rebirth" was Batman confronting Jordan with that excellent way-out for a writer, "You dont seriously think anyone swallows this nonsense right?", and Hal not caring

That's the theory I've had for a while, that Paralax the Symbiote is some pink elephant Hal's made up to get himself back in the GL good-books so he can prepare everyone to face against the Crisis (which he's a major part of), Jordan's much better off being a manipulator of minds and lives than another corps solider

I agree with you completely (well, except for the Rayner part... Rayner is the GL I grew up on). It's a pity and a waste... Hal was a hundred times more interesting as Parallax than back to status quo as GL.

Hah! I had the same theory. In fact, I made an action figure movie out of the theory. Let me know what you think:

Episode 1
Episode 2

Yes. Just read Vol. 1 a few weeks ago. Great stuff! I think I'm a GL fan now.
