Not only did Johns take us from kick-starting a formerly dead Hal Jordan and returning him as a major force in the DCU, he made a Corps that made sense and has expanded the scope of the Corps and their universe by several degrees. He also set up the need for four Lanterns and embraced all of them as equals, a scenario which works well for the GL fans who usually prefer to bicker over which Lantern should get the spotlight. And all since 2004. Well done.
But I also really wish DC would put the GL Corps stuff from around issue 200 - end of series back in print. I may have to start picking up back issues.
If you've ever read a GL comic, the panel above is absolutely huge. And is why I plan on reading GL Corps until 2010. The conclusion of the Sinestro Corps War went ahead and told us in 2009 we'll see the beginning of an event called "Blackest Night", and we'll begin to see the other Corps begin to form in the coming year.
Weird, wild stuff.

What is the significance of seven corps? Is that new?
ReplyDeleteThe seven corps is, indeed, new. After having a single GL Corps since the 1950's, and two Corps since late in 2006, the Guardians will no longer have the only game in town. Expect the "Pink" Corps to be the re-vamping of Star Sapphire.
ReplyDeleteI want to be part of the Pink Corps. Pink is my favorite color!
ReplyDeleteThen you shall be a Lantern of Love. And I think that's all too appropriate, you big huggy bear.
ReplyDeleteI am going to start sharing my secrets on this blog comment section, but first I will confess to having posted under other people's names on this thread! My bad!
ReplyDeletewell, it's weird and maybe smacks of a need for therapy. But whatever works for you, buddy.
ReplyDeletei demand an investigation by the LoM to find who has been posting false comments under my name.
ReplyDeleteI am the real rhpt! I would never use a silly dog cartoon as my profile image!
ReplyDeleteOnly the wisdom of The League can solve this conundrum.
ReplyDeleteI think you're both liars.
ReplyDeleteOkay, I've completed my investigation. I cleverly put up a smoke screen to obfuscate the depth of my investigation. After hours of research and a depressingly high body count, I am glad to say I finally have an answer: One of these guys is the real rhpt.
ReplyDeleteI am upset someone set up a Blogger profile with my name. League, find out who this person is!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThe professor told me this would happen when I decided to clone myself.
ReplyDeleteWe'll need to kill them both. Only way to be sure.
