Gotta say, I like the Rebirth TP cover style, with the big banner on top, white frame and title on bottom.

My only wish would be that they use themed DC logos. Maybe you were in thread when new logo was revealed, bunch of anons made lots of themed ones. They looked nice, I have to say.

This is probably what most people would do if they became superheroes at the start.

>>87720905
I don't buy all this in-universe GL worship

They die in droves frequently and on Earth it's just a bunch of emerald asshats who aren't even on the planet half of the time.

Can Green Lantern get him a good immigration lawyer?

>>87721042
Well, it was fun while it lasted.

Sorry, Frank. You're too white, straight, and Nazi-looking to be a good guy in the current comic paradigm.

>>87720803
>volthoom

But I thought that hispanic-female green lantern had the power ring that contained volthoom? Or is volthoom a multi-dimensional eldritch horror haunting the universe?

>>87721080
There's Volthoom: First Lantern, astronaut guy and there's that Earth 3 eldritch horror.
That's how I see it, anyway.

>>87721058
Don't treat DC like Marvel. It's not the same thing.

>>87721102
What is Larfleeze up to these days, anyway?

>>87721080
Volthoom was a guy from Earth 3 that came to Earth 0 and became a Green Lantern, the first. He later was imprisoned for millenia, escaped and had a big cosmic battle.
His ring returned to Earth 3 to the Hal for the Forever Evil then to Jessica.
This is the actual person. No idea how he returned from however they beat him.

>>87721102
wait is jess making a construct?

The presentation on the New52 hardcovers was the nicest thing I've ever seen from comics. Wish they kept that.

>>87721102
they were the same guy. he was the astronaut and after he lost the guardians sent him back to earth-3 as an eldritch horror

HOW WILL THEY MAKE THEM EQUAL AND NOT HAVE FLASH STRIP THEM NAKED AND CHAIN TO RADIATORS?
>>87721144
I see. I wasn't sure about that, so better to put disclaimer than lie to /co/mrade.

>>87721167
yeah the timeline was volthoom came here from earth-3 and then was trapped. he then lost and was sent back in time to earth-3 but mutated, when he came back to earth-0 for forever evil he was scared of sinestro and then got stuck on jessica. the ring was then destroyed in darkseid war/

not quite sure what the new volthooms deal is

>>87721183
Maybe mandatory I'M SO STRONG I CAN'T DIE?
I wager it has something with Jessica's ring. It's too friendly, I don't trust it at all.

>>87721106
Well they were trying the same thing until they looked at Marvel's sales and noped the fuck out of there

So now they've got more diversity AND it doesn't seem like they're forcing it, which is a win for PR.

>>87721183
I think maybe the person and the ring are separate and the ring was what got sent to E3 as a eldritch thing, while the person stayed and recovered.

>>87720784
>you will never will piss on a mountain

>this weak bait
John Stewart, he was on the best superhero cartoon ever. Did you even read Mosaic? It's the most interesting Green Lantern story ever.

>>87721203
That's my assumption too his twisted ring self sent back to earth 3 possessing various users eventually destroyedby the black racer. What passed for his physical form is this thing

A few years ago, I had an idea for a revamp of Rainbow Raider that was basically the same power set as this guy.

>>87720906
anti-snyder fags are crazy

>>87720907

Rings can literally do anything, especially since it's based on the user's willpower and seemingly their very thoughts. A ring's limitations have been vague at best.

>>87722098
>Mosaic - the most interesting Green Lantern story ever.
Eh, no.
Yeah, It's intersting, but not the most.

>>87720840
Maybe he doesnt know the truth about Voltoom?

More like he's too mentally instable.

I mean, Mosaic is a very interesting and different take on the GL mythos, but that's all John has going for him. He became leader of the Darkstars after that and had every one of them but 3 either die or quit and was crippled for years.

Did J'onn job in Grant's JLA?

>>87720907
>Rings aren't supposed to do that.
Let's be honest here, nothing about Jessica being a Lantern is normal. She shouldn't have one to begin with, so something weird is clearly happening with her.

>>87722098
So interesting that nobody's even referenced it in over two decades (way before Johns, before you start bitching). His backstory from it isn't even used anymore, they made up a completely new one about having a single mom who was a politician.

Hey guys I never kept up with Simon and Jessica outside of GL. What JL do I read to get their development?

>>87720907
I distinctly remember Johns ring talking gangster to him at some point. I'll have to read through old Corps issues again.

>>87726359
Jessica's first appearance in JL was in #30, and Simon wasn't really in JL during the New 52.

>>87726391
>tfw you get gansta ring

>>87726314
>His backstory from it isn't even used anymore, they made up a completely new one about having a single mom who was a politician.

That's more on people having shit taste than anything. They changed Guy's background to just being the O'Dares from Starman rather than his dysfunctional family with an abusive dad and drug pusher corrupt cop brother. That doesn't make Guy's original run any less good.

>>87726433
He was in JLA.

>>87726460
Ah, I was going off his appearances in Johns' JL. Thanks for the correction.

>>87726433

Is it worth reading 30 on for her development? I'm a huge GL fan, just a bit lapsed.

>>87726460

Worth it for his element at all?

>>87726481
It had fun lineup, for what it's worth. And eventually half of team went to become JL United.
>>87726514
Not really.

>>87726514
I thought it was alright, but she wasn't Green Lantern proper until JL #50. You can check her specific appearances in JL here:

>>87726551

Let's put it this way, I'm buying the original New Guardians and Dreadstar next year.

>>87726654
>The original New Guardians

Let me forewarn you on this. It's preachy and it doesn't make a whole lot of sense. You'll wanna get Millennium before reading it also or else the main bad guys motivation doesn't make sense.

>>87726689

I've got the complete Millenium already. I'm building up every GL related title from issue 90 on. For now. The Flash back up era.... not sure if I should.

>>87726738
It's not bad but it's also pretty boring. Much better than the Action Comics Weekly stuff at least.

>>87726774

It's a matter of price really. I will read scans at least.

>>87726830
They might be collected in those old Silver Age Archive Editions. The Flash backups were in that period before GL/GA so that's fairly early 70's. Unless you mean single issues in which case, good luck with that.

>>87726859

They're not collected from what I know. I refuse to do black and white Showcase's too.

>>87722021
Well, lore says that the one that protects the sector that Colu is located in is one of the most efficient lanterns ever because it's a cluster or something and can be in many places at the same time.

But it also allowed a whole planet to be mind controlled and Brainiac to exist so it probably sucks at its job anyway.

>>87727825
I bet that guy is the first GL collected by Brainiac.

>>87721042
I wish he would lose the cape and just go around in this form all the time. Cosmic-y designs like that get my dick rock hard.

>>87720737
>Graphic Novel collection
I hate when the GN term is used for trades. You're reading a fucking Superman book but to publicly call it a comic book makes you embarassed?

>>87731263
It's too late to fight against it, "trade paperback" is basically only a publishing term now. Most people aren't going to know what it means but they know "graphic novel" means it's bounded material that contains about a full arc. They don't really care if it was published in singles first or not.

It's mostly the fault of bookstores.

The puffball collective is one of my favorites...

I gotta say, I've never liked green lanterns. A bit of kyle rayner, and john stewart in the cartoon, but the overall idea bugs the hell out of me. volthoom/power ring was always cool in the crime syndicate.

I like this Frank guy.

And I love this kid.

>>TFW We'll never see Power Ring and the Crime Syndicate ever again since Johns killed them and their entire universe off.

Frank is the best addition to the GL mythos since what? Blackest Night?

>>87739538
Frank isn't new

>>87739565
Well his villain persona and new back story.

>>87739565
Had he ever done anything aside be the guy that called the other guy pieface?

>>87739565
literally everything except his name is new

>poor bastard who always wanted to be a hero
>lets show how evil he is for wanting what other people deserve to get by decision of alien-crafted inanimate objects
i don't understand these stories

i mean, ostensibly you have the "this is why simon and girl are worthy of being heroes" angle
but how can you not feel bad for this loser who's wanted it his entire life?

I mean
doesn't your average comic reader have more in common with a normal guy who wants to be a superhero
than an experimental jet plane pilot
a comic artist and cosmic champion
a street racer/car thief arrested for terrorism
and a hot girl who was the survivor of a mass murder then possessed by a demon from an alternate universe

and you end up shitting on the most relatable character

>>87739730
he wanted it because he wanted to be better than Hal Jordan, not because he wanted to be a hero

one could argue that is inability to overcome his fear of not being as good as Jordan is why he didn't get a ring

Sinestro, Guy, Kyle, Alan, Abin.

>>87739823
He didn't get the ring because of Sinestro. Frank would've been the ideal candidate for the GL Corps but Sinstros warped requirements when him and Hal were 'dead' made it go to Simon instead. He's just really buttmad about that.

>he wanted it because he wanted to be better than Hal Jordan, not because he wanted to be a hero

>how can a test pilot be a hero with the green lantern flying around
he wanted to be a green lantern because he knew there were multiple rings
it was something you were chosen for
so he made himself worthy of being chosen

look at the guy
he tries so hard
and got so far
but in the end
it doesn't even matter
because the comic pushes simon and jessica and hal and all the others
this guy is automatically a villain

dude worked at fucking arkham to overcome fear

has anyone on earth EVER been honestly chosen? it's always a mistake or a fuckup

>>87739982
Those first 2 can describe both John and Kyle.

>>87740015
yeah but they got over it

Frank never did

>>87740019
Kyle got over it when he became a Green Lantern, likewise with John when him and Katma started eloping and he stopped comparing himself to Hals shadow. You aren't even giving Frank a chance.

>>87739982
>>gave up on his dreams repeatedly
>basically just waits for things to happen to him
except he didn't
he joined the air force to become a fucking test pilot but they grounded him after the green lantern pulled him out of the sky

and a ring fucking picked him!
he was chosen

I thought the whole point of the rings was that they pick people who don't want them

>>87740011
>has anyone on earth EVER been honestly chosen? it's always a mistake or a fuckup

Hal and Guy were both chosen by Abin Sur as worthy heirs and John was hand picked by a Guardian and later became a Guardian.

>and a ring fucking picked him!

>>87740081
hal was chosen because he happened to be there, though
the ring would have chosen guy gardner if hal wasn't there to take it

That doesn't change what I said though. They were both selected as worthy candidates and not a fuckup or mistake. Hal just happened to be closer and if Guy had actually gotten the ring first he would've died so it all worked out in the end.

hal wasn't chosen because he was closer, hal was chosen by abin sur who needed a lantern RIGHT NOW
not the ring

alien error

Hal, John, and Guy.

Except that's a load of shit. Abin Sur commanded his ring to show suitable people for the job and it came up with Hal. It's only revealed later that Guy was also a contender but ended up picking Hal because he was closer. So either way, the ring picked those two individuals to be heirs worthy enough to be part of the corps.

This, desu. Marvel is only doing their "GAS THE WHITES" thing because Disney knows comics are only worthwhile if they generate the correct sort of media buzz. They have the MCU to do the important business of generating $$$, and you'll notice those still happen to be as white as can fucking be.

I think this is more wanting to be a hero is not the same as having what it takes to be a hero.

Or it's like that Ping Pong anime about naturally talented players vs players that train their asses off.

>guy was the more worthy pick

You're pulling this out of your ass. They were both equally worthy. It's stated multiple times in Guy's origin/what-if issue and throughout the years where Guy brings it up.

Kyle only got his ring for the sole reason that he was the first person Ganthet came across.
