Alright, I'm kind of in the middle of something so I need to take a quick break. Do you guys want issue 2?

>>69210178
hell yeah go ahead and take your break

>>69210178
yes please

I forget, had Jade already cheated on Kyle by this time?

I wish we could have seen Alan's reaction to learning about it.

>>69210478
>I forget, had Jade already cheated on Kyle by this time?
yeah it happened a few months before Rebirth

>>69210478
>I wish we could have seen Alan's reaction to learning about it.

It was never depicted, only that after Jade had died Alan said that Kyle would always be family to him.

>>69210478
Yeah, I'm pretty sure she had. That's why he had been in space (hence the ship crash). I honestly can't remember if Alan knew or if he cared. It's been awhile since I've read it. Maybe if things calm down I'll do a 90s GL Story Time. I was doing Warrior this Summer, but wound up moving away and it got thrown to the wayside.

The Spectacular Issue #2!

>>69210997
thanks

>>69210997
it's kind of a shame, I really like the Parallax armor, moreso than Hal's usual uniform.

>>69211057
yeah I really like the Parallax outfit

shame there wasn't really a way he could use it regularly because of the connotations that go with it

at least Sinestro is using it

>>69211073
which isn't much better.

It's a shame it can't be seen without the inhuman grin these days.

I may have to check it out. My preferred LCS is in my hometown and I don't know when I'll be able to get back there. Guess there's always the Win'O'Thread

I THINK it was GL v3 #1 in 1990

>>69211272
I think it was around around 1991. At first it was just to make him look more "distinguished".

It was around the time of The Death and Return of Superman, since the Mongol Coast City thing was a tie-in for both series.

>>69211295
I'm kind of tentatively looking forward to it, I don't quite trust it not to be another round of shitting on Hal for old time's sake

>>69211319
it was pretty weird because they aged him and Ollie up but almost nobody else aged as much as they did, so you had weird stuff like John being SUPER young compared to Hal and him calling Carol "kiddo"

File: P00010.jpg (1MB, 1280x1988px) Image search: [Google]

1MB, 1280x1988px

>>69211356
Which is weird, since it was established forever that he and Carol grew up together. I definitely did not remember the age gap with him and John though.

>>69211272
>>69211319

Hal first got the white stripes in Green Lantern Vol. 3 #1 of 1990. It was during Gerard Jones relaunch of the book.

>>69211351
>Broome

teehee

little nods like that always make me smile

>>69211393
they actually established the age gap with John before they gave him the white streaks

I don't recall the issue but Hal says the reason Abin Sur's ring only picked out him and Guy at first was because John was only twelve at the time

>>69211397
also weird because action comics weekly was running concurrently with the GL relaunch wasn't it? but he didn't have them there and they didn't write him like he was middle aged in that either

Thanks Anon. I have that run and will consider doing a storytime later on for fun.

>>69211428
Was John aged up then? He always seemed much older to me.

I don't remember if it was ever established at that Hal got the ring. Would have to be 18+ if he's an airman.

>>69211428
>also weird because action comics weekly was running concurrently with the GL relaunch wasn't it? but he didn't have them there and they didn't write him like he was middle aged in that either

I believe there is a few month gap, but yes it was. Which led to the fan theory of the time that Hal, now with Lord Malvolio's ring, is what caused his hair to go white.

>>69211431

No problem. The Road Back is a great story.

>>69211471
>Was John aged up then? He always seemed much older to me.
yeah

I dunno if it was addressed before Johns, but John had a little cameo in Secret Origin so they ended up much closer in age

I don't think they've ever put a concrete age on how old Hal was when he got the ring, which is probably a good thing

>>69211474
>now with Lord Malvolio's ring
oh yeah, they never brought that up again did they?

Priest used him in his GL novels, though, but he didn't come up in any comics stuff again

I guess it doesn't matter since the universe exists in a floating timeline anyway. If it matters, I always thought of Hal being in his mid-late 30s with John being closer to 40.

>>69211535
Kek.

>>69211530
Nope, never mentioned outside of those three. Another popular theory before Rebirth was that Hal went insane because he was being influenced/controlled by Lord Malvolio.

>>69211535
From what I hear, there were plans to later address what that was. But nothing developed.

>>69211549
yeah it doesn't really matter

it also takes like almost a decade to become an Air Force pilot so there's no point on putting an actual age on him

Issue #4 incoming.

>>69211622
Now he's all buff and has a normal shaped head.

>>69211622
This is pretty much the last time Sinestro looked so goofy, isn't it? He keeps getting more normal looking and hotter after this

I remember when I first read this, being an idiot, thinking that Hector Hammond some how got a yellow ring. Sinestro is drawn with varying amounts of head bulge.

Based Doiby Dickles should have kicked his shit in!

>>69211645
>Sinestro is pink Hammond
>Krona is blue Sinestro

three bulgey villains with mustaches is too many

>>69211622
Man, remember when Sinestro looked like a fucking weirdo?

>>69211622
I always did prefer Sinestro's classic costume to the Sinestro corp uniform.

>>69211676
He was too busy being married to a space princess, I think

>>69211645
Yup. He went from Twink Vincent Price>Hitler Vincent Price>Handsome Vincent Price>Swole Vincent Price

Ethan Van Sciver and Prentis Rollins were a hell of a team.

Most artists are lazy and can't even do constructs that aren't bubbles and beams.

>>69211819
Don't forget Moose Bauman on colors. Dan DiDio personally had him fired though. That was a fun time on Geoff Johns forum the comic bloc.

>>69211829

Be right back a second. Two issues left.

>>69211899
oh god oh god

>>69211910
FUCK YEAH

>>69211910
When exactly did Hal's uniform stop adding green to the pelvis?

I know he started out with the green off his shoulders, which looked strange, then the green was added to his shoulders

>>69211935
This IS the first time his costume got rid of the leotard

Even his Spectre costume still had it

>>69211855
Apparently Moose was having problems with getting paid and when he did there were issues with proper payment. He took it up with the editor who said his hands were tied. Well, Moose took it up with DiDio personally and according to him DiDio said that he'd been fired a few months prior and he should have been told. Geoff claimed he knew nothing about it and said he would try to help. Nothing came of it and Moose ended up doing freelance for Marvel and eventually due to his wife's cancer and his own ailments, he sort of disappeared. He does colors every now and then, but he's mostly working in some office job last I heard.

All of this unfolded on the Comic Bloc, before Geoff Johns abandoned it and had his name taken off the site. To this day no one knows why DiDio had him fired or why Geoff let his boy down. It's pretty sad. I remember the thread that Moose made to beg for donations for his wifes cancer fund. I ended up kicking up 300 bucks because the guy really needed it.

>>69211960
Oh wow, that is pretty sad

As far as I'm concerned he's the best colorist GL ever had. He started during Winnicks run and kept the flame alive. Guy was a real pro and no one since has been able to capture the soft yet powerful feel of emerald energy since.

>>69212010
Yeah, the way he colours the energy is really vibrant, suits GL perfectly

More on Winnick's run, the Alex Nero saga was in that one. I loved the art for that. I never realized that's who it was.

The ring has a built in translator.

Though I suppose there's always the chance that Korugarian sounds identical to English, hah.

>>69212087
I could have sworn non-lanterns could understand Sinestro though.

>>69212100
I think the translating function translates for everybody in the vicinity, not just the people wearing rings

I'm surprised Sinestro still has the scar from this, I would've thought they'd forget about it

>>69212121
I've always hated Kyle's second outfit.

It was a bit relieved when his third one was kinda similar to his first, but still just not the same.

>Alan
Fuck Yes.

>>69212147
Part of it is the hair actually. The uniform kinda sucks, but when he puts his original on during the Sinestro Corp war, it still has his short hair and doesn't look half as good.

>>69212154
The moment when Hal and Kyle fans kind of stopped being cocks to each other.

>>69212167
I prefer it too, I don't care for the crab mask or the weird gauntlet things

>>69212193
Time for the second best moment in Rebirth.

I miss this version of Alan.

So given Jade's power is also linked to the starheart, that means her green lantern abilities are just similar but actually magic?

Good question, Manhunters maybe?

>>69212416
That's from a JSA issue, but I don't know the issue number offhand

>>69212416
Isn't that from JSA when Alan stopped calling himself Sentinel?

>>69212433
Yes
>>69212431
Rats, worth a shot though.

>>69212419
The Manhunters do make a comeback . For some reason, I keep thinking of those German-speaking Gremlins (who really do not matter).

>>69212416
I'm currently looking through my stuff now to see if I have it. Will report back. Do you know what year it's from? Will make my searching go quicker.

>>69212470
shortly Before rebirth for sure, apparently in a battle with mordru? try Green Lantern vol. 3 #110

>>69212433
Isn't the only different between Sentinel and Green Lantern Alan Scott basically tightness of clothes, a different emblem and the presence of a ring?

>>69212121
I love Kyle's costume, and the fact that they actually remembered about this scar when Sinestro started the Corps War.
