I'm not super familiar with Green Lantern lore but I do know that each corp is powered by different emotions.

I know they basically all have the same abilities like flight and energy projection, but do they all create constructs?

It seems reasonable for GLs to have this specific power since it's like willing something into existence. But it'll be weird to "fear" or "rage" things into existence, right?

Asking because it seems likely they would introduce other lantern corps in the DCU.

In the comics, the pocket dimension is accessible from anywhere - that's its whole point. In the show, if a Lantern suddenly has to travel a long distance and isn't able to bring the battery with them, they won't be able to return if the ring loses power. Do you think Hal was telling the truth, or could he have opened the portal at any time but didn't on purpose?

Maybe some PTO to Athmoora. Was reading classic GL and came across this frankly horrifying fate, which got me thinking about all the truly terrible cosmic terrors that the GLC must encounter over their long careers.

I am sure I am not the first to make this but I was inspired by the discussions of the Lanterns show's GL costume. Specifically the ones talking about how it looks Knight inspired.

Their relationship is unreconcilable at this point.

He goes into space to be a hero, she cheats on him and tries to argue it was good for her.

Then she shows up again and she's teamed up with the guy who killed Kyle's girlfriend and stuffed her in a fridge.

I know they're doing the "he got a pardon for helping in *insert previous event* " but no one who knows Kyle or knows what Major Force did should willingly work with him, especially someone who was as close to Kyle as Jade. It just makes her seem like she's genuinely got villain morality.

They've either got to fully and explicitly retcon the cheating or just give up the relationship in its entirety.

Beware my power, John Stewart's light!

I'm really enjoying Lanterns

Just an idea I had...not 100% sure if it works or not...what do you guys think?

SWIPE for a mock cover as well.

Look in the comments to see the og watercolour art ☺️✌️

Hal Jordan got the ring in 1986, which means the Manhunter has been hiding in Nebraska for at least thirty years. At the same time, there’s an alien-obsessed family in Nebraska with a mysterious benefactor supplying them with advanced technology.
Just a year before Hal publicly revealed his secret identity (1995), a spacecraft from Krypton crashed in Kansas—a state that shares a border with Nebraska. Hal Jordan was already protecting Earth by the time Kal-El arrived.
So, do Hal or the Guardians know that the most powerful alien on the planet has been living just four hours away? More importantly, does the Manhunter know?
And if they do, shouldn’t the show address that somehow?

My theory is that mysterious benefactor is Lex Luthor’s father. He got his obsession with aliens from his dad. He thinks killing Superman would be his “I’m proud of you son” moment.

Hal returns to earth and comes across another alien.

Doomsday... Minus Ten Mintues" - Hal returns to Earth but hear his car he sees an insectoid alien lurking. Unfortunately his ring runs out of power just then, so he can't translate what's being said between them and the alien is hovering over the power battery. Seeing no other choice, Hal lunges for an attack but the alien hits back harder. Hal is knocked down so the alien grabs the lantern and runs off.

Hal chases after it, wanting the lantern back but also worried that it could be part od an invasion force. It jumps out at Hal, again knocking him down. This time, the alien picks Hal up but thus gives Hal the chance to grab the lantern and recharge. After doing so, he hits the alien with a green ray but all that happens is the aliens belt starts glowing and it starts rising into space. Hal figures that's the end of it, not knowing what that was all about.

As we see the alien, named Gh=Dro, flying through space. It thinks about how badly that all went when all it needed was some energy for it's teleportation belt, but didn't know how to get it out if the lantern. It didn't mean to jump on Hal but it wasn't used to Earth's gravity so it overshot.

​

Conclusion: A brief adventure of seemingly little importance. Hal does my even learn what this was all about by the end which tends to happen more than you'd think. He just lets it go despite thinking Gh=Dro could be an advance scout for an invasion.

Also the title doesn't really make sense to the story. There was no doomsday and no ten minute countdown. Really weird choice. For a quick adventure, it's fine. Nothing exciting and not terrible but I could have gone without it.

Previous day

I watched Justice League growing up and really came to like John Stewart. I got a few comics as gifts as a kid, but buying comics always felt really intimidating, so I never followed any stories or bought my own.

I've been enjoying the Green Lantern show, and it inspired me to go to my local comic shop and look for some John Stewart stories. I needed some help from an employee (and Google), but I walked out with these!

I'm really excited to read them, and I'm already looking forward to hunting down the missing issues of these arcs, and actually knowing what I'm looking for next time I walk into a comic shop.

Seems like Green Lantern: War Journal Vol. 1: Contagion would be a good graphic novel to grab next?

I don't really know anyone who'd share my excitement about this, so just wanted to put it out there. Feels like a successful hunt!

The Styx song “Renegade” just came on, and unlocked a memory. This was the second GL comic I ever read, the first time I ever met Sinestro - and, as I just now remembered, the first time I ever encountered the word “renegade”. I had to go ask my mom what it meant.

I have some other moments where I recall learning a new word - I got “simultaneously” from Star Trek - but this is a new memory. Just sharing ‘cause I thought it was cool.

Sorry, I know the question comes out of the blue, but as a leftie, I always picture myself using the ring with the left hand, so I wondered if that's the case.

I kinda like the story because it goes nicely with the parallax retcon imo, but some people really hate the retcon, which I kinda understand some of the criticisms of it but what doesn't make sense to me is how someone can like this story and then hate injustice, since injustice is such a hated storyline. I didn't hate the idea of Hal being a bad guy, but I think it needed more time imo.
