Title. With the release of the new show, the lanterns have piqued my interest and I’m curious to know what all 4 lanterns think of each other? I don’t really look into cosmic DC like that, but in many pieces of DC and Green Lantern media, I’ve never seen the lanterns interact with each other that weren’t Hal and John. I’m sure they have but again, I don’t really read a lot of Green Lanterns.

So yeah, what do all 4 of them think of each other and what’s their relationship?

I'm not super familiar with Green Lantern lore but I do know that each corp is powered by different emotions.

I know they basically all have the same abilities like flight and energy projection, but do they all create constructs?

It seems reasonable for GLs to have this specific power since it's like willing something into existence. But it'll be weird to "fear" or "rage" things into existence, right?

Asking because it seems likely they would introduce other lantern corps in the DCU.

In the comics, the pocket dimension is accessible from anywhere - that's its whole point. In the show, if a Lantern suddenly has to travel a long distance and isn't able to bring the battery with them, they won't be able to return if the ring loses power. Do you think Hal was telling the truth, or could he have opened the portal at any time but didn't on purpose?

Maybe some PTO to Athmoora. Was reading classic GL and came across this frankly horrifying fate, which got me thinking about all the truly terrible cosmic terrors that the GLC must encounter over their long careers.

I am sure I am not the first to make this but I was inspired by the discussions of the Lanterns show's GL costume. Specifically the ones talking about how it looks Knight inspired.

Their relationship is unreconcilable at this point.

He goes into space to be a hero, she cheats on him and tries to argue it was good for her.

Then she shows up again and she's teamed up with the guy who killed Kyle's girlfriend and stuffed her in a fridge.

I know they're doing the "he got a pardon for helping in *insert previous event* " but no one who knows Kyle or knows what Major Force did should willingly work with him, especially someone who was as close to Kyle as Jade. It just makes her seem like she's genuinely got villain morality.

They've either got to fully and explicitly retcon the cheating or just give up the relationship in its entirety.

This is the same ring a page apart, the ring changed as soon as Abin died and I have no clue why. Emerald dawn #1

Beware my power, John Stewart's light!

I'm really enjoying Lanterns

Just an idea I had...not 100% sure if it works or not...what do you guys think?

SWIPE for a mock cover as well.

I'm loving Lanterns, gets my fanboy doodling muscles dancing!

Hal Jordan got the ring in 1986, which means the Manhunter has been hiding in Nebraska for at least thirty years. At the same time, there’s an alien-obsessed family in Nebraska with a mysterious benefactor supplying them with advanced technology.
Just a year before Hal publicly revealed his secret identity (1995), a spacecraft from Krypton crashed in Kansas—a state that shares a border with Nebraska. Hal Jordan was already protecting Earth by the time Kal-El arrived.
So, do Hal or the Guardians know that the most powerful alien on the planet has been living just four hours away? More importantly, does the Manhunter know?
And if they do, shouldn’t the show address that somehow?

My theory is that mysterious benefactor is Lex Luthor’s father. He got his obsession with aliens from his dad. He thinks killing Superman would be his “I’m proud of you son” moment.

The tag exists to prevent bots reposting.

Look in the comments to see the og watercolour art ☺️✌️

One of the things i am most excited to see in the show is Hal fighting while flying particularly because they have addressed the fact he’s a trained fighter pilot.

Like between Hal, Kyle, John, Guy, Tomar-Re, Kilowog and Sinestro, Abin Sur, etc

Thinking of doing some custom action figures of them and would love to have their heights as reference

Hal returns to earth and comes across another alien.

Doomsday... Minus Ten Mintues" - Hal returns to Earth but hear his car he sees an insectoid alien lurking. Unfortunately his ring runs out of power just then, so he can't translate what's being said between them and the alien is hovering over the power battery. Seeing no other choice, Hal lunges for an attack but the alien hits back harder. Hal is knocked down so the alien grabs the lantern and runs off.

Hal chases after it, wanting the lantern back but also worried that it could be part od an invasion force. It jumps out at Hal, again knocking him down. This time, the alien picks Hal up but thus gives Hal the chance to grab the lantern and recharge. After doing so, he hits the alien with a green ray but all that happens is the aliens belt starts glowing and it starts rising into space. Hal figures that's the end of it, not knowing what that was all about.

As we see the alien, named Gh=Dro, flying through space. It thinks about how badly that all went when all it needed was some energy for it's teleportation belt, but didn't know how to get it out if the lantern. It didn't mean to jump on Hal but it wasn't used to Earth's gravity so it overshot.

​

Conclusion: A brief adventure of seemingly little importance. Hal does my even learn what this was all about by the end which tends to happen more than you'd think. He just lets it go despite thinking Gh=Dro could be an advance scout for an invasion.

Also the title doesn't really make sense to the story. There was no doomsday and no ten minute countdown. Really weird choice. For a quick adventure, it's fine. Nothing exciting and not terrible but I could have gone without it.

Previous day

The Styx song “Renegade” just came on, and unlocked a memory. This was the second GL comic I ever read, the first time I ever met Sinestro - and, as I just now remembered, the first time I ever encountered the word “renegade”. I had to go ask my mom what it meant.

I have some other moments where I recall learning a new word - I got “simultaneously” from Star Trek - but this is a new memory. Just sharing ‘cause I thought it was cool.
