    I was surprised it was delayed so hard in the first place. I thought Perez was pretty good at staying on schedule.

    EDIT

    Anyone else notice how the GL oath incorporates part of the Sinestro Corps oath in it? I'm still going to say that Sinestro rejoins the corps after Blackest Night.

    Yes, because murdering everyone is a great way to become a cop again.

    Isn't there a school of thought that Parallax is a sub-conscious creation of Hal's from Zero Hour, made as a way of shifting the blame from him?

    That school of thought would be wrong since we've been told that it's the manifestation of fear/yellow and was the source of the impurity

    that would be pretty hilarious and would be as "comic book logical" a way to dump Hal if his sales ever got low. as logical as inventing a fear parasite in the first place, anyway.

    Logic? Whats that?

    Like how they spent the majority of the ION Limited Series explaining how Kyle's Ion abilities were a mixture of both Starheart and Corps energy. But then Sinestro Corps starts up and nope - just a Space Whale.

    And they hand it off to Sodom(y) Yat the fucking Daxamite and what have they done with him/it? Other than getting bitch slapped around by Superboy Prime?

    o_O What the hell are you talking about? "Getting bitch slapped around by Superboy Prime"? Because Superboy Prime is such a pussy, right? He hadn't just beat the shit out of the entire Justice League, Justice Society, Teen Titans, Outsiders and every other superhero on the planet, right? Jesus christ.

    Less about the defeat, more about the fact that this is one of the only highlights of his career as Ion. (Or hell, his career period)

    Not really. Kyle has been boring as shit ever since he lost his Ion status. Last month's big reveal that
    Soranik Natu is who his heart desires
    is the first interesting storyline that he has had since the Sinestro War.

    Before that Kyle has been nothing more than Guy Gardner's bitch for the restaurant.

    Kyle and Guy should not share the same comic book. It's just too much. Either let Guy lead the GLC or let Kyle do it. Frankly, that's one of the reasons I want Kyle to become a Blue Lantern so much... maybe that would give him his own book again.

    Couldn't the oath used in the preview possibly be a personal version Sodom came up with? There's been more then one GL who's used their own take during a recharge.

    Nothing with Bart has happened yet. Geoff Johns has just said Bart fans should read Legion

    It's also really good and only two issues in (#3 comes out this week) so you should pick it up

    The end of GL #37 was a definite "Oh shit!" moment. I recently reread the entire series and it really plays out like one really long movie. Definitely one of the best comics I've ever read.

    I hope Johns starts writing the Flash again after Rebirth in a couple months. I have mixed feelings about Barry coming back but it should still be pretty cool.
