Scarface and Violin Guy (so not his name) from Suicide Squad made constructs, too.
Suicide Squad borders on out-of-continuity when it comes to the representation of its black lanterns though (e.g. the inexplicably different depiction of emotions).
Huh? I didn't notice anything different when I read it. Still shows green and red and other coloured people for their emotions. Didn't noticeanything wrong with the Black Lanterns either. Care to elaborate?

What they did with Deadshot was cool, how his emotions are like lava trying to break out from the hard candy shell.
They screwed up with Rick Flag though on the coloring, they say he had fear but he was 75%will, 25% rage.
Ragdoll was a rainbow though (how fitting, yes?)
He was asking about Suicide Squad, Tex, not Secret Six :P

Dammit, they're one and the same right now.
What got me was that there were no emotions shown in the Suicide Squad issue.
And Amanda Waller should be such a walking green wall of will that Black Lanterns just blow up when they are around her. She could be the secret weapon and save the universe. For America. High five.
Its too bad that Bruce is "dead" right now, and its also too bad that they aren't really using any of the classic rogues with Dick, because a Batman arc in which Scarecrow rains havoc down on Gotham with his yellow ring would be awesome. Make it a 3 issue mini drawn by Frank Quitely and written by Grant Morrison, and it might be the best thing ever. Batman would be so disadvantaged against that...fear gas plus ring constructs...wow. And then when he pulls an awesome Batman moment out of his ass at the end, we would all smile.
Scarecrow doesn't use fear gas anymore. He just relies on the powers of a Masters Degree in Psychology.
That was only for that two issue Detective fill-in, I'm pretty sure they had him using the fear gas again a couple of months later in a different book.

He was using it in BN#6 when he was deputized into the Sinestro Corps.

If you can't beat them, arrange to have them beaten in your presence.

well that just shows you how useful a Masters in Psychology really is.

Well, on that point my problem is that other BL comics have made a big deal about how unusual it is for someone to be dominated by more than one emotion, while SS shows almost everyone as a constant mix.

What? Every Blackest Night comic has had characters with mixed emotions, which is the point of the Black Lanterns trying to get them to feel something strong.

Maybe I'm remembering this wrong - please correct me if I am - but I remembered basically all the others showing a sharp mix (like a pie chart) where it was supposed to be unusual (basically a heroic characteristic) to have a 'mix'. I thoguht SS is the only one where I've seen it all swirly and whatnot.
In fairness, that's not the big problem I have with it though. They just feel 'off' in SS, for some reason I can't quite articulate (I have the exact same problem with the Shazam ones). It's like these BN's actually are supposed to be the dead people, as opposed to just replicas of them with the same memories.
Mogo comes along, increases his gravitational pull to, and I quote, "Purge Oa" of the Black Lantern threat. THEN HE SWALLOWS THEM ALL ALIVE AND USES HIS CORE TO DISSIPATE THEM FOR THE REST OF ETERNITY.
Flash #2 solidified it to me that Hope, as far all DC / GL is concerned, is more practically defined as Faith. The Blue Ring tells Flash that he always kept faith in things, and the very line "All will be well" is an assurance of faith.
Plus (and I'm not sure where I read it), someone explained why Blue Rings drain Yellow Rings: That fear is an assumption of defeat / failure, whereas hope is defined as an assumption of success. In other words, faith that things will work out well.
I like the character, but I don't like the outfit he's in. You know how comic book costumes look even less reasonable when taken into live-action? That character's outfit would look fine in live-action, but on paper it doesn't 'pop' visually and feels flat. The core of the problem I have, visually, is that the black parts of the costome are jet-black. A few highlights in the darker areas would do the costome justice.
Frankly, I think a Larfleeze-like "Lantern uniform on fire" thing would have worked a bit better, personally.

That was a pretty awesome moment until I really thought about it.
Weren't a lot of the Black Lanterns on Oa fallen Green Lanterns? Making them burn for all eternity inside Mogo's core seems like a bad ending.
If the theory about all the Black Lanterns coming back to life has any truth to it, they'll be revived long enough to experience an excruciating death.

If Guy was actually on Earth when Nekron did his Batman BL trick to re-kill the heroes, do you think he would have died as well, or because he dislikes Batman so much there would be no tether?

That arc was awesome but yeah I think they're ignoring it because they're stupid

And Ragdoll has no testicles, so everything is swirly with him.
WORD!
the source put up the april post-Blackest Night solicits for Green Lantern/Brightest Day related comics
most of it looks good!
There's a "special ordering incentive" with Brightest Day 0. White Ring, anyone?
Edit: GL53 and GLC47 also have them. Hmm.
Gleason and Mahnke are incredible
Hey now, EVS has more important things to do instead of finishing his books on time. Like the internet.

while all are pretty cool, it is annoying to me that bolland drew kyle with the wrong battery
i'm afraid that kyle's unique battery design is one of those (fairly minor) details that will just get lost the farther out we get from kyle's GL run
Shit was awesome.

But yes, after that they'll stop burning.
