oh my god
is that actually from the issue? that's fantastic.
Yeah that was good as well. Also Superman was pretty good but felt "odd" to me.
Also, the alternate earth had a different Green Lantern, who was actually pretty cool. He asked Vixen if she knew him in the real timeline, and she said no. But that's a perfect opportunity to bring him back down the road. Overall though, JLA kinda sucked. Like I say, the ending was a major let down.
I'd have to say my MotW was definitely Rage of the Red Lanterns. Damn it was good.
Cat-scans. Ha, a pun!

RAGE OF THE MOTHERFUCKING RED LANTERNS!
Its hard to read tone on the internet, but I sense cynical sarcasm here. None the less, I will answer the question.
When a red lantern puts on the red power ring for the first time, their old blood is expelled from their bodies and replaced by pure rage which flows through their veins. The blood vomit is a sign that a new red lantern has just accepted his/her duty.
Their rings are also capable of expelling a red fluid that bursts into flames upon contact with something
Still, I know things look different when put into context, so I'm sure it's possible to portray blood vomit as an expression of pure rage. I will, however, hold off on reading Rage of the Red Lanterns until I've read Geoff John's GL run, which I may never do. That's a whole lot of issues.
It was suggested before that Scar will either become the Red Guardian or the Black Guardian. It seems clearer now which it will be, if either.
Green is the middle of the spectrum and the GLs can control it the best because it isn't at either extremes. I think violet is at the opposite end from red
ROYGBIV
Yeah, violet.
Actually, I wasn't sure if there was an extremist "good" side of the spectrum, and so I was trying to find a picture of the spectrum from GL #25 before I said so. But you're right, Green is in the middle and there are "good" lanterns who are just as ... dedicated and controlled by their rings as the Reds are by theirs.
holy shit, the part with
Miri Riam became a Violet Lantern in the last GLC.
we saw the first Violet lantern in the last issue if GLC
as for the others,
I want to say that he's the one shown for Orange in DC Universe #0, but I won't just to be cautious for once.
I think Johns confirmed that was him in #0
Because I'm just not thrilled with the idea of going to a random jeweler for a red enamel ring that can put a dent in a man's skull when I can get it at a comic store instead.
I love that Michael Chabon is a comic book fan as well as one of the best writers of his generation.
In RotRL, when the Controllers talked about seizing the source, a word bubble with orange around it said "No! It's mine!" It was smaller than usual bubbles and the Controllers didn't appear to react to it, so the significance of this is not yet known.
Check out his wikipedia page and read a few of his books. You'll be a fan instantly.
Interestingly, they were the first ones mentioned when Orange was first revealed, but it's been recently that Johns has been promoting Agent Orange as another possible Lantern or Guardian or whatever.
