So whos reading GLCorps?

[Guy]

I just got done with #25 and I wasn't all that impressed really. I'll keep getting it because I'm a GL Fan, but it wasn't anything speciial.

[MattGrant]

I still enjoy it, but I think that the stories have lost some juice since Tomasi took over for Dave Gibbons. I preferred the Gibbons run over whatever Geoff Johns had running in regular GL concurrently.... that's saying something!

[GLJIMT]

wow, everyone else I know is liking GLC much better then the SO arc in GL so far

[SebastianPiccione]

I love the GLC.
They have some interesting characters in the Corps. And GUY is my favorite GL. In fact, for the first time in...EVER, I actually like Kyle. And if you knew the depths of my disdain for that character, you'd KNOW what a good job they are doing with GLC!

[MattGrant]

GLC made me a Guy fan, hands down. Tomasi is doing a decent job with GLC, but I felt better characterization when Gibbons was on the book. At that point, hands down, it was the better book. The SO arc is alright, but, yeah, its a little dry.

TO be honest, i dig the GL book, but the Hal stories haven't been totally doing it for me pre SCW and post SCW (the SCW stuff was spectacular, though).

For me GL is a group book, and while I was excited and happy to see Hal come back, and the way everything has come back together and be re-built... I really want the books to be about the CORPS and not just Hal...

But, I guess that's why they have GLC. I think I'm just waiting for something more interesting to happen in GL... I'm guessing thats coming up soon.

I could do with a little more spotlight for one Mr. John Stewart!

I could do with a little more spotlight for one Mr. John Stewart!

True... he's kinda been left out of the fold. He sorta got delegated as the JLA Green Lantern, though, I think. He's in Final Crisis.... uhhh...

But yeah, after the Sinestro Corps War, he sorta disappeared from the GL books.

But i have to agree with that you were saying before: Guy has really emerged as a cool character. I used to HATE him. I'm not sure if its that I never really got to know him or what, or if that sort of character appeals to me more now than it has in the past, or if its just the newer treatment of him... he's just a really fun character to read. And he seems way more interesting, character-wise, than the other lanterns. I think its a balance of the ridiculous cockiness (and sometimes ignorance), against a true earnest intent of being a for-real good guy.

[SebastianPiccione]

Guy is...intense. He goes 150% at whatever he does, right or wrong.
I LOVE the idea the Johns introduced, about Guy's will power being so intense that his ring sparks when he's not using it. That's the difference between Guy and any other GL. Most GL's have to force their will upon the ring. Guy's ring has to fight to contain Guy's will.

That's pretty freakin' cool!

[MattGrant]

So true!

By the way... the last page of Legion of Three Worlds #2.... WOAH.

Apparently Johns has another 1000 or so years of GL history planned out.

[ScottWilliams]

Dude, I have a lot of catching up to do when I get back, but I can't wait. One of the best things about not reading comics for a while is being able to read a BUNCH of 'em when you start back up again! :D

[MattGrant]

Yeah... a lot of times its nice to be able to read arcs all together and stuff...

I would check out Legion of Three Worlds, though... 1000 years later, Superboy Prime is still a whiny little brat!

Oh... and you would LOVE Rogues Revenge.

And now we have Rage of the Red Lanterns coming up....

I swear! All of the tie-ins for Final Crisis are better than the Final Crisis itself! (well the Geoff Johns ones, anyway).
