Getting Back to Business
Woohoo! It's Wednesday, and my computer is working again, and I'm full of piss and vinegar! Granted, it's the fifth week of the month, and therefore there isn't a whole heck of a lot out there, but still...It's Wednesday! The Bestest day of the Week!
Have you all seen the new Hostess snack offerings, featuring Superman, Batman, the Flash and of course, Green Lantern? Chris Sims has, over at the ComicsAlliance, and he's come up with THE best version of the Green Lantern Oath, that I've ever seen. It's Hal Jordan of course, and the treat that HE'S hawking are Green Lantern Glo Balls.
Here's what Chris has to say...
"In Brightest Day, these tasty sweeties
Will totally give you Diabetes,
Let those concerned for Teeth and Gums,
Beware Green Lantern's neon crumbs!"
So...so perfect.
I really MUST go out and find some of these.
What else is new? I've just noticed, that out of all four Earh-based Green Lanterns, that Hal is the ONLY one who isn't an Honor Guard. Heh.
I wonder how long it will be, before the artist for Green Lantern Corps gets tired of drawing the Alpha Lanterns like robots, and now that that they have their emotions and personalities back, could they possibly be returned to their original appearances? It would be nice to have Boodikka back, looking like she used to. I LIKE Boodikka. And Green Man.
We still don't know what it is that Ganthet and Guy have agreed to do with Atrocitus, but I'm beginning to think from the various clues that have been dropped, that whatEVER it is, the few remaining Guardians aren't going to be too happy. Which is good. They've been getting away with crap for eons, and it's about time that someone called them on it.
I am looking forward to the Larfleeze Christmas Special with utter anticipation.
Well, that's about all that I can think of for today, so it is off to the Comic Book Store!
Be sure to enjoy your books!

John Stewart is not a Honor Guard. The end of GLC 52 only had Boodika and Ganthet raised to Honor Guards. The others were just name checked by the Guardians for theit role in the mission. It wouldn't make sense otherwise as Kyle Rayner is already an Honor Guard.
I'm psyched for the Christmas Special, too! As soon as Larfleeze mentioned Santa Claus a while back, I couldn't stop laughing.
I love that oath!! Hee!
I'm hoping Boodikka will come back, too. The robot look is so freaky. :(
Yeah, the robot look is a little on the freaky side, so I imagine that the artists would be just as glad to draw them as they used to be. No reason why the Guardians can't do a little molecular rearranging or something!
I think of all the Earth Lanterns, the Guardians trust Hal the LEAST -- but they NEED him, so they keep allowing him to do whatever. So, they'll never offer him Honor Guard -- and even if they did offer it to him, he'd probably turn them down, 'cause he doesn't trust
THEM, either.
Hal just does whatever he wants to anyway. And he much prefers to be earth-based, so I suppose being an Honor Guard would cramp his style.
