Feb 21, James DeSantis rated it liked it. Ah man we were on such a high running streak. This one Saying that though, it's still fun! So we have Kyle and Guy finally opening up their restaurant. Of course, cooking Earth food for the universe might Green Lantern Corps Sins of the Star Sapphire a little trickier than they thought. Especially when they have to teach aliens how to cook. On top of that we have to get back to Guy's date he promised. Oh, and someone is killing family members of the Green Lanterns. That's a no-no. The second half of Ah man we were on such a high running streak. The second half of this book dives into my least favorite part of the Green lantern Mythos. The "love" ring. Good: I liked the opening a lot. Kyle and Guy have a lot of bromance going on and it works on almost every level. The disturbing imagery of flying eyeballs and death to the family is a lot to take in but at the same time it makes this feel like a real threat, and I appreciate that. I also thought as always the fights were pretty cool to see. Bad: The 2nd half is very wordy and boring mostly because I hate the love ring and everything to do with those powers. Also, the great Mongul reappears but his stuff feels a bit rushed here. Overall, a good book but not great. It needs to find it's footing once more. The story is a throwback to the days when wizened, old blue gnomes ruled the Green Lantern Corps with cold, unemotional detachment. Not that it is missed; as a reader. I actually preferred Hal Jordan in the Jim Gordon role as Green Lantern Corps Sins of the Star Sapphire of an intergalactic police force. This was supposed to be cool down arc, after the events of the last one which ended with Mongul's arm detached at the shoulder. This was smartly plotted and stuctured.

It's a bunch of inter-related short stories that tie and also leads in to a larger story Blackest Night. I have actually read this years before, individually as single issues and revisiting it, I kind of wondered why I didn't follow this into Blackest Night. Jan 01, Bradley rated it really liked it Shelves: graphic-novelsfantasysci-fishelf. All the various angles are fun, like skittles, but I have to wonder if the force of love really ought to be demonized like this. Sure, it seems so nice right now, but the story is telegraphing big-boobed doom right across the universe. Just why aren't there more violet corps who are fugly men? Do you guys think that only well-shaped bosoms have the power to love? Oct 21, Mateo Cruz rated it it was amazing.

But they have no intention for two reasons they believe in the power of loveand they only fight to preserve love of beings of the universe. I think that in the book the art grapics are spectacular to show almost every battle, every argument to be seeing a movie of something but one thing that the artist could change is probably the environment because of Green Lantern Corps Sins of the Star Sapphire fight scene did not do well to the fighting and how the planet was almost rock. Another thing is the setting of the fight could been taken place in a jungle full of poisonous plants that could kill anyone who comes in contact and have to keep the adrenalin going or die in 15 minutes. But everything was alright. Aug Green Lantern Corps Sins of the Star Sapphire, Barbara rated it really liked it Shelves: dc-comicsgraphic-novelsgreen-lantern. With the Sinestro Corps war having ended, we can move onto more important things, like Guy Gardner and Kyle Rayner opening an intergalactic bar on Oa called Warriors.

A new corps, the Star Sapphires emerges, from the Zamarons, immortal beings who split from the Guardians millennia ago since they believe in the power of love to heal while the Guardians value logic and reason and seek to shut out the emotional spectrum entirely. Yellow Lantern Kryb appears, and she's far scarier than the Quintet seen in the "Eye of the Beholder" storyline. The third law is enacted, forbidding romantic relations between lanterns, and this potentially will affect Kyle and Soranik Natu, Guy and Tora, Hal Jordan and Sep 23, Brandt rated it liked it Shelves: comic-books. In the pages of Green Lanterna ton is going on--not only has Sinestro put together his own Corps wielding yellow fear-based ringsbut we have also been introduced to the heretofore unseen except in a splash page in Green Lantern 25 Red Lantern Corpsand their leader Atrocitus. However, since we know that the "Blackest Night" prophecy involves the creators of the Green So I've gotten to the point of reading the Geoff Johns era Green Lantern related books where Blackest Night is eminent. However, since we know that the "Blackest Night" prophecy involves the creators of the Green Lantern Corps the focus of this bookit's a given that the book is also going to lead into Blackest Night. However, this book isn't being curated by Johns who was likely handling monthly Green Lantern writing chores while also penning Blackest Night and it feels like writer Peter Tomasi is getting his marching orders from Johns, who needs to make sure that all of the power rings of the color spectrum are represented properly at this point, we have yet to be introduced to the orange or indigo rings, but that is likely to take place in the Hal Jordan centered Green Lantern because that's where all of the new rings have popped up. As such, most of the action here revolves around the colors we have been familiar with since John Broome came up with the silver age Green Lantern--the Sinestro Corps and the Star Sapphires. I think my issue with this collection is the fact that the story arcs feel like they are keeping time in order to get to Blackest Night. While the revelations are coming fast and furious in Jordan's book, we just get more fallout from The Sinestro Corps War and Green Lantern Corps Sins of the Star Sapphire challenge to Sinestro in Green Lantern Corps Sins of the Star Sapphire aftermath.

  • Myth, Metatext, Continuity and Cataclysm in Dc Comics’ Crisis on Infinite Earths
    WORLDS WILL LIVE, WORLDS WILL DIE: MYTH, METATEXT, CONTINUITY AND CATACLYSM IN DC COMICS’ CRISIS ON INFINITE EARTHS Adam C. Murdough A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS August 2006 Committee: Angela Nelson, Advisor Marilyn Motz Jeremy Wallach ii ABSTRACT Angela Nelson, Advisor In 1985-86, DC Comics launched an extensive campaign to revamp and revise its most important superhero characters for a new era. In many cases, this involved streamlining, retouching, or completely overhauling the characters’ fictional back-stories, while similarly renovating the shared fictional context in which their adventures take place, “the DC Universe.” To accomplish this act of revisionist history, DC resorted to a text-based performative gesture, Crisis on Infinite Earths. This thesis analyzes the impact of this singular text and the phenomena it inspired on the comic-book industry and the DC Comics fan community. The first chapter explains the nature and importance of the convention of “continuity” (i.e., intertextual diegetic storytelling, unfolding progressively over time) in superhero comics, identifying superhero fans’ attachment to continuity as a source of reading pleasure and cultural expressivity as the key factor informing the creation of the Crisis on Infinite Earths text. The second chapter consists of an eschatological reading of the text itself, in which it is argued that Crisis on Infinite Earths combines self-reflexive metafiction with the ideologically inflected symbolic language of apocalypse myth to provide DC Comics fans with a textual "rite of transition," to win their acceptance for DC’s mid-1980s project of self- rehistoricization and renewal.

You may share this work for non-commercial purposes only, provided you give attribution to the copyright holder and the publisher, and provide a link to the Creative Commons licence. 6 Icons of Survival: Metahumanism as Planetary Defense In which I argue that superhero comics, the most maligned of nerd genres, theorize the transformation of ethics and politics necessary to the project of planetary defense. The figure of the “metahuman,” the human with superpowers and purpose, embodies the transfigured nerd whose defects—intellect, swarm-behavior, abnormality, flux, and love of machines—become virtues of survival in the twenty-first century. The conflict among capitalism, fascism, and communism, which drove the Cold War and its immediate aftermath, also drove the Golden and Silver Ages of Comics. In the era of planetary emergency, these forces reconfigure themselves as different versions of world-destruction. The metahuman also signifies going “beyond” these economic and political systems into orders that preserve democracy without destroying the biosphere. Therefore, the styles of metahuman figuration represent an appeal to tradition and a technique of transformation. I call these strategies the iconic style and metamorphic style. The iconic style, more typical of DC Comics, makes the hero an icon of virtue, and metahuman powers manifest as visible signs: the “S” of Superman, the tiara and golden lasso of Wonder Woman.

  • Blackest Night / Brightest Day Jumpchain What Is Death in a World
    Blackest Night / Brightest Day Jumpchain What is death in a world like this one? Great heroes and villains alike have tasted the sweet kiss of oblivion, both deserving and not. Yet death has also been defied, and many more have returned to life through circumstance or miracle. Two heroes in particular – Hal Jordan, a Green Lantern of Earth, and Barry Allen, The Flash, both ponder this together as they talk over the gravestone of Bruce Wayne. Both had died and returned to life before. And soon, many more will return as well...but not in a way they or anyone else would expect. Recently, the Green Lantern Corps, a peacekeeping organization created by the self-touted Guardians of the Universe, have been at war with the Sinestro Corps founded by its namesake rogue who fell from grace in the past. As this conflict raged on, other Lantern Corps were discovered or created as all seven colors on the Emotional Spectrum were revealed to the galaxy. But as this conflict and chaos rages on, a prophecy is fulfilled and as the various colors come into battle with each other, a darker force awakens. The Entity of Death, Nekron, acting through the villain Death’s Hand, has prepared to unleash a plague on the entire universe. One that will see the billions of dead across all of creation rise and seek to ravage the living, before extinguishing all life entirely within the Blackest Night. Just as this conversation began, you appear. You are a new or veteran member of one of the existing Lantern Corps...unless you are a Black Lantern, in which you rise from death not long after as the crisis of the Blackest Night begins.

Fisk Nothing quite describes us the way our fears do, specifically the way we cope with those fears. In moments of great duress, facades are stripped away and what remains are honest, if unsettling, images of ourselves. In an attempt to capture an “honest portrait” of humanity, I have written a horror cinema screenplay that combines the ordinary with the bizarre. Using my hometown of Watersmeet, Michigan as inspiration for this story’s rural, wilderness setting, I asked myself the question: “What would happen if a truly terrible monster invaded our usually peaceful, but sometimes divided community?” i Copyright by LOUIS LLOYD FISK 2013 ii TABLE OF CONTENTS INTRODUCTION .............................................1 THE SHRIKE: AN ORIGINAL SCREENPLAY .......................2 iii INTRODUCTION The external formatting of this thesis (title page, table of contents, introduction) follows the format suggested by the MLA Style Manual and the Department of English.

The Green Lanterns, on the other hand, represent the triumph of willpower or reason over emotion and seek to overcome and stifl e these emotional states.2 The confl ict between the various lantern corps, while provid- ing an interesting series of stories, also sets the stage for thinking about one of the most long-standing questions in ethics: What role should emotion play in moral reasoning? 7 CCH001.inddH001.indd 7 33/14/11/14/11 88:42:24:42:24 AAMM 8 JASON SOUTHWORTH Color-Coded Morality With the exception of the Indigo Lanterns (who don’t speak a language that can be translated by a Green Lantern power ring, much less your average comics reader), the representa- tives of the new color corps all make the case that acting out their sections of the emotional spectrum is the only way to achieve justice.
