Green Lantern: DCnU-style

Right, wherein...
I'm sure they'll pull through, though. I'm hoping this might be a chance to reinvent them as closer to their TV counterparts, which I find more interesting.
We do seem to be losing a lot of the Corps, but their central characters are hanging around. Arkillo, Larfleeze, and Saint Walker aren't likely to go anywhere any time soon.
And the Indigo Tribe are only inactive at the moment - their rings are still there, and will apparently play some real in the upcoming conflict that the Guardians are poised to unleash.
As for GL #9
I write news there. It is fun.
Yeah I picked up most of this stuff back during the War of Green Lanterns but one thing that took me by surprise
Right on.
I recall way back in the Red Lanterns debut that Atrocitus prophecised that Hal Jordan would turn against the Guardians when they 'took his greatest love from him.' Originally I thought it might be because they were somehow responsible for Carol's death. Then after the War of the Green Lanterns, I thought it might be because they'd taken away his ring.
But if the Star Sapphires are going to get drawn into this upcoming event and Carol is back with them, it might turn out to be because of her death after all.
Could it be the corps? I mean, Hal really loves the GL Corps. So does Guy, John and Kyle.
There was another vision a short time ago, I think it was right before War of the Green Lanterns kicked off, that showed the Guardians freeing the 'First Lantern' because Hal Jordan had become 'more dangerous than ever with the loss of one of the Lanterns of sector 2814," so that will probably come into play pretty soon as well, and could be related to Atrocitus' prophecy.
I'm assuming 'lost' means 'killed,' presumably as a result of the actions of the Guardians. I can't see what else would make Hal a greater threat to them.
Green Lantern Annual #1 announced
Death of Superman tribute cover. Would they really kill Hal again?

likely means BB#9 is pretty important if you're following GLNG
So yeah. Their dicketry continues to spread throughout all the GL series.
Also the Reach is attacking the Blue Lantern corps, so there may be more Blue Beetle cross-overs in the future.
There seem to be a lot of tie-ins going around - Red Lanterns are crossing over into Stormwatch, which I'd stopped picking up after #4. I'm still debating whether or not to go back to it for this cross-over, but so far the stuff going on in Red Lanterns isn't interesting enough to get me to pick up another book. I'm hoping we see them start to become more like their animated series counterparts, who have a number of more interesting aspects.
Ha, it's funny to see just how easy it was to manipulate to give us a very different, seemingly important plot point
Dick Grayson and Kyle Rayner. The DCU's manwhores. The best part is they get emotionally involved in ever relationship.
Seriously, DC...we need a team up book. It'd be Sex in the City with male DC super heroes.
I write news there. It is fun.
hahahahahahahahahahahahaha
I mean I am totally down with a Middle Eastern Green Lantern
but
holy shit
Steaaaaaaam
Neat costume though, aside from the mask, which looks goofy with the mouth the way it is. Why not just cover it all completely in green and have it be hard-light talk-through-able material?
Then he'd look like GL Mr. Terrific.

Hm, full face mask?
That makes the gun look even more problematic, I think. He looks like he's going to knock over a Space 7-11.

Also what's up with those circle stars on his uniform if you look at it closely.
Either one of those conditions would make having a back-up weapon sensible. But, both no longer apply, as far as I know. Of course, the ring could always run out of juice at an inopportune time, which would also make a gun come in handy. Same reason Abin Sur had a space ship, basically.
Though, you'd think he'd want something with a little more kick than a handgun, if that were the case.

i also like how he's a dude
what are the chances, do you think, that it would even have occurred to them to make a lady green lantern
Tatooed Man just seems weird when you don't know if his big redemption moment, Final Crisis, is still in play. You've already had a villain get the ring in Sinestro, that would be redundant to do it again.
edit: Vibe is from Detroit right? Maybe this would then connect to the JL stuff since they seemed to be on the same team in that splash page.
Also, with how the past few years of GL have dealt with ancient prophecies and the fate of the universe, it'd be nice to see smaller scale stories about an interstellar beat cop for a change.

and honestly a GL with a full face-mask would be something I am down with. But making it the first Arab GL and giving him a gun and making it a goofy ski-mask lookin thing just kills it
Steaaaaaaam
I mean, I imagine he will have guns at some point
But I don't think he will use guns as a Green Lantern
Dude was in the FCBD issue and he used constructs
all of the good intentions in the world don't make up for giving the first Arab Green Lantern a bunch of psuedo-military/terrorist-y motifs and not realizing oh shit maybe this is a bad idea
Steaaaaaaam
I'm sure there's a good explanation for the gun. Hopefully it'll come soon. And I do like that tweaked look better then the actual mask. Makes him seem more mysterious. It also reminds me of masked-up Doctor Strange and his MC2 replacement.
Let's Play Final Fantasy 'II' (Ch10 - 5/17/10)
Why is L.L. Cool J's character for NCIS LA a Green Lantern?
I write news there. It is fun.
What tha fu-BOOM
