    When will the summaries stop saying Prelude? I want my Blackest Night!

    Is it weird that this is a Red Lantern debut but yet I care more about the Blue Lanterns?

    I like the concept of the Red Lanterns, I just don’t know if I like the blood spewing.  Maybe I’m alone in that opinion.

    Yeah I just noticed the cover…..She needs to see a doctor. She might have some liver problems with blood coming out like that 🙂

    I keep wanting to jump into this title because of Geoff Johns but it seems like it’s been in the middle of an arc forever. Can anyone recommend an earlier Green Lantern collection by Geoff Johns that might be a good start?

    @Doctor13 – The Secret Origin trade just came out I think. That’s where I jumped on in issues and it brought me up to speed on everything I needed to know. If you want to go slightly further back, Sinestro Corps War trades are really good (only 2 trades as well).

    But I’d go for Secret Origin and carry on from there.

    What’s worse?

    Seeing a hot chick vomit blood all over you? Or see a ray of light going in/out of her privates? Cause we’ve seen both in the last 6 months.

    @Doctor13 if you could find FC: Rage of the Red Lanterns and the last issue of this, I think you’d be just fine.

    Where is rage of the Red Lanterns Part 1? I’d like to pick it up and catch up on the whole red lanterns thing.  I’ve only been reading Green lantern for awhile and I feel like I’ve missed something…

    @ecthelion – Part 1 was Final Crisis: Rage of the Red Lanters, then part 2 in GL #36

    Wow, I wouldn’t wanna be around that girl on the cover when it’s "that time of the month". Or does the massive blood spewing power only work out of the mouth?

    I am more interested in the blue lanterns myself.  And can they power up any ring or just the green ones?

    I was a little disappointed with the last issue. Not because it wasn’t good, it was very good, but There was just a serious lack of evil space kittie. Hopefully this issue will remedy that.

  27. Avatar photo drakedangerz says:

    @Handsaw-My guess is any ring can be powered up if they want to.  But it seems like, at least for now, that they are on the same side as the Green Lanterns, so will assist whatever lanterns join them. 

    I believe someone pointed out that in issue #25, the splash page with all the lanterns, that the Indigo lanterns were seen healing members of all the corps, not just the "good guys"  That should prove interesting as well.

    Personally, I have high hopes for the Orange Lanterns. They sound the most promising to me.

    I have a feeling the War of Light will be a little more grey than a "Good Lanterns v. Evil Lanterns" type fight.  If I remember right, Johns said something like "You’ll be surprised who’s on what side." I really do hope we see the corps (what’s the plural of corps?) changing sides, switching allegiances and sticking to their guns (emotionally speaking.)

    Does anyone have any good guesses regarding the quotes and characters on the DC Nation page?  Some of them seem pretty obvious, but I’m clueless on most.

    My jaw dropped when reading this book. So much goodness packed into 22 pages.

    I liked Sinestro in this issue a lot. I may be wrong, but I think he’s destined to be back in the GLC by events end. But wow… POW for sure. 

  43. Avatar photo AlexG says:

    This book is friggin crazy. Redemption for Sinestro? It’s entirely possible. Biggest mistake everyone seems to always make is to think they have Sinestro figured out. Jeez…this is just a crazy book.

  44. Avatar photo WadeWilson says:
    January 22, 2009 at 11:41 pm

    Yeah! Sinestro is one cold blooded motherfucker. This book is so good it made me vomit blood all over myself.

    I realized while reading this, that I’m not a huge Hal Jordan fan, I like the Green Lanterns in GLC way more, but I still love this title. That’s gotta be a sign of an awesome comic, if I’m not a huge fan of the main character but it still entertains the hell outta me.

    One thing no one’s really mentioned here — how AWESOME was the art in this issue!!??

    Spoilers – yeah, I was hoping for a lot more story with Laira.  I get it that her death was the impetous of Hal Going all crazy because he felt he’d failed her twice, but I just feel redeeming her could have been a really interesting story.  Plus she was just a good character 🙁

    I love love loved this issue though.  Do you think Hal will be wearing every friggin ring by the end of blackest night lol.

    The art in this whole series has been spectacular.  That centerfold was awesome.  I  think that they were suggesting that Sinestro will be a redeemer for the GLC in this issue.  The crucifixtion of Sinestro had a Christ-like quality to it.  I’m going to revisit the story to date and see if that really is the suggestion that’s being made, or if I’m reading too much into the art.

    This book is so fine!  This was such an enjoyable issue.  Had my doubts about the number of different colored lanterns springing up – at least at first, but not anymore! I particularly like the way Hal interacted with the pacifist blue lanterns. Its so well written and the art is so amazing.  Am loving it!

    I love the Red Lantern stuff . Geoff Johns continues to amaze me with this title . When I first heard about the various color lantern corps coming out I dreaded it , but great writing and excellent art made a believer out of me . LONG LIVE THE BLUE LANTERNS !
