Remember how last time I praised that opening for issue #2?
As a Dark Lord of the Sith once said: Impressive. Most impressive. It’s the 21st century and Superman has celebrated his 63rd birthday. Brainiac has told him almost six…
As promised, I continue to take a look at the “maxi-series” format and explore my top 10 favorites of all time. If you missed the first part of this list, you can read it right here. And now, on with…
So a few things are going on right now. HBO is airing the sequel series to the Watchmen comic; the CW is airing their five-part crossover event “Crisis on Infinite Earths”, which looks so intriguing I feel I might have…
Our story opens with a series of viewscreens showing calamity and disaster as a universe dies, as someone monologues about the end of this reality while we see a nebulous face that calls itself the “sentience of the universe”. It…
It’s another amazing cover from George this time, with an honest attempt to get every single JLAer and Avenger on it. I mean, he has both Crimson Foxes on this thing! If he missed anybody, it must have been a…
So before we jump into the game, I just have to break down this cover.
It’s a fantastic work, and it’s great to see the one, true Captain Marvel featured on the front. Although I do have an issue with…
X-Men/Teen Titans was the first DC/Marvel crossover story I ever bought. The stories published during the ’70s came out before I was buying comics, and I suppose when reprints were available they looked a little to, uh, Silver Age for…
Previously in part one, we had a recap of how the Justice League was formed after they defeated seven alien combatants who came to Earth to fight for the rulership of another world. The seven Kryptonite meteors they arrived in…
Back in the early ’80s, my comic buying habits were a bit erratic. Other than X-Men, there weren’t a whole lot of titles I was steadfastly wedded to. However, I do remember really enjoying Justice League of America when…
Previously: Hal pleaded his case for humanity… to the Guardians, oddly, instead of the big creepy cloud who just showed up on Earth looking to exterminate the human race. Also: Hector died, and no one really cared.
Previously: Amanda Waller lived a life told in stock photos, while Hector torched his dad, and Hal was powerless to stop it despite opening a wormhole to get to the scene of the crime. And now Parallax will have his revenge on the Guardians by… attacking Earth? Sure, why not.
Previously: Hector instantly got all fat and gross and deformed and went full evil, and Hal saved the day by turning a crashing helicopter into a speeding projectile (just go with it). Carol became Discount Lois Lane to Hal’s Discount Superman as he romanced her in the air, then revealed he’s a member of a galactic peacekeeping force...
Previously: Hal was transported to the planet Oa where he received a beatdown from Sinestro, causing him to quit the Corps and Refuse the Call of this particular Hero’s Journey. Back on Earth, Hector gave his students a lesson… in how thinking of him as a "freak" gets your ass shotputted across the classroom...
Previously: After beating up a former coworker or two or three, Hal got yanked to the planet Oa, where he received a brain-dump from Tomar-Re about the Guardians and the Green Lantern Corps and got to witness Sinestro give a half-hearted pep rally speech. Meanwhile, Hector Hammond was infected by what might have been Parallax’s jizz.
Previously: Abin Sur got dead, Hal got Abin’s ring, and a very svelte Amanda Waller got Abin’s body, which she turned over to creepy Hector Hammond, who got to perform the very first (real) alien autopsy.
Previously: Abin Sur was surprised at home by a visit from his old friend Parallax, which left him nearly dead and on his way to Earth to find a new Green Lantern. And we met Hal Jordan and watched him do a test flight that left him nearly dead; his plane crashed and presumably so did Ferris Aircraft’s stock...
Issue #5 starts out with young William Batson wandering the streets of… I think it’s New York? To be honest, I forgot which city he’s in. I guess it doesn’t matter, because America is burning due to G. Gordon Godfrey’s…
Previously: An omniscient voiceover gave us a crash course on the planet Oa, the Green Lantern Corps, Sinestro, Abin Sur, and the Guardians of the Whole Damn Universe. Meanwhile, a big yellow roaring cloud named Parallax managed to free itself from a what’s-lower-than-minimum security prison on Ryut...
The last issue underwhelmed, being a bit too focused on exposition and not enough on action and plot advancement. That being said, it gave us our first look at what would become the Suicide Squad, so it was far from…
The list of cancelled and aborted live-action movie adaptations of DC superheroes is a lengthy one, and the attempts at bringing Green Lantern to the big screen surely make up a big chunk of that list. Warner Brothers/DC considered making a Green Lantern movie as early as the mid-1990s, according to...
