Lanterns like Skittles?

[Mystik]

I'm really interested in the black corps, since all of them are coming from the grave

I'm guessing black hand will lead, but who else?
maybe hal's dad (lot of emphasis lately in the book)
or maybe abin sur will rise from the grave
or maybe dc will use this ressurect all of dead heroes

[Zippo]

Speaking of the black corps. Is anyone else a little disappointed that we didn't get to see any of the green lantern corpse in this whole arc?

Not a little, a lot. It's been my 2nd favorite choice in expanding the GL mythos so far. The Sinestro Corps being the 1st.

[Klauser]

...anyone got pics? ^_^

Unless I miss my guess, since college is on break right now we're about to see some new skins from one of my favorite skinners ...

Yeah...that's a lot of lanterns. I thought it was pretty cool how one of the blue-ish colored lanterns had a staff instead of a ring.

*adds more skins on to-do list*

[murs47]

These pics are a bit big so I'll just post links to them.

Aw, thanks Murs, I really appreciate you takin' the time to do that! ^_^

That 2 page spread is RIDICULOUS. I envy not the artist who was chosen to do that. (By which I mean the penciller the inker and the colorist. All three of them did one heckuva job. o_O)

-CM

[murs47]

No problem. Yeah, that spread is epic to say the least. GL# 25 had a lot of great 1 and 2 page spreads, I'd go run out and get it just for the art.

[The Hitman]

I am kicking myself for not getting to my comic shop this week!

*Speculation Time!*

Hmmm... So it'll be Green, Blue, and Violet vs. Yellow, Orange, Indigo, and Red? Cool.

Why does the Blue symbol look like a fancy beetle scrarab to me?

Is Starfire one of the Violet Lanterns in the 3rd page? (Left- most woman in the circle...)

I bet Hal's dad, Kyle's Alex DeWitt, Guy's Ice (of Fire and Ice), and... someone whom was close to John will be part of Black Hand's Corp?

[Cardmaster]

Is it silly that I'm happy to see Kyle's crab mask back? ^_^

[murs47]

Ice is alive. But I think you're dead on about the others.

[detourne_me]

i can't believe they brought Ice back.   i guess she is a pretty good character.
and for john stewart... ummn how about Katma Tui?  dead wife.

[catwhowalksbyhimself]

So it'll be Green, Blue, and Violet vs. Yellow, Orange, Indigo, and Red? Cool.

I rather got the impression that Indigo would be with Green and Blue.  Violet's always been against Green as the Star Saphire, but we will see.

I bet the whole thing will end up being all seven against black in the end.

[Bujin]

I just need to mention that Geoff has pulled this whole "multiple lantern corps" concept off extremely well.  However, it seems like an idea just begging for a lesser writer to mangle down the road. 

[The Hitman]

This is totally off- topic, but when did they bring Ice back? I can't believe I missed that one.

[murs47]

I don't know if you guys read GLC# 19 but...

[spoiler]Mongul's back, and he's got a yellow power ring now :o

2009? They sure are starting early on the promos. LOL

[yell0w_lantern]

As I understood it, R-O-Y-G-B-I-V, with Green being the middle showed no influence over its user with every movement either way increasing the effect the color has on its user. So red and violet dominate their hosts. Orange and indigo would be less-so and yellow and blue being the least next to green. Also green is the balance point with rage,avarice and fear on one side with hope, compassion and love on the other.

[Talavar]

Ice came back quite recently, in the pages of Birds of Prey.  I think this may be her first appearance since being alive again, outside of that story arc.

...that was my thought.. we're not even done with 2007 yet. :roll:

[Mystik]

well we were getting hints about sinestro corps right after rebirth and that was in 2005

[deanjo2000]

All these corps popping up could be very good or it could go very bad :wacko:
I liked it when there was just one lantern left (although i do like hal,guy and stewart)
At this rate everyone in the dcu will get a power ring of somesort ;)

[Jakew]

What trades do I have to pick-up to get up to date with the current state of GL? I've been interested ever since Geoff Johns started weaving Alan Moore's GL work into his current plots.

I'd start with Rebirth, then follow that up with GLC:Recharge if you want to know about the lesser known GL's. You could also pick up the Ion maxi-series if you want to see what happens with Kyle pre-Sinestro Corps War.

Green Lantern: Wanted and Revenge of the Green Lanterns are build up to the Sinestro Corps.
I personally found GLC to be far more entertaining then the regular GL title pre-Sinestro Corps.

The Sinestro Corps trades are out next month I believe.

Green Lantern: Rebirth is a must. I still go back and read it all the time. :)

Naturally, we see Guy get his ring back.

[Midnite]

Hey is the source of the black ring power the Anti-Monitor? Near the end it looks like he was captured and used as a source for the rings.

[yell0w_lantern]

It looks that way, certainly.

[Spitfire]

The Sinestro Corps trades are out next month I believe.

I think, actually, they're coming out the middle of this year. At least, that's what it says on this blog which seems to deal with Trade Paper Backs quite seriously.

[yell0w_lantern]

<blows off the dust>

Okay, so we've seen the 1st Red Lantern and given the events of the last few issues I kind of had an idea of who it would be.

Looks like orange will be up soon. We know who is making them - glad to finally see them make a reappearance - but there's no one really set up for the 1st orange lantern so far. It's supposed to be avarice so my 1st thought is Lex Luthor but I think they're trying to stick with more classic GL characters. What about that shark thing or the invisible destroyer?

One of the things I think may happen is a group of GLs could leave the Corps. Even if they don't quit I think the 4 Earth GLs are not going to be very happy with  the new Laws - especially John.

And does anyone else get the feeling that the Guardian that was burned by the Anti-monitor is being unusually duplicitous with his fellow guardians -  hiding something or perhaps even a traitor?

[catwhowalksbyhimself]

Could you spoil me a bit.  I saw the one with the Alpha Lanterns, but I'm not even sure how old that one is.

[yell0w_lantern]

[spoiler]Laira is ejected from the Corps and gets a Red Lantern apparently made from the body of one of the aliens that gave Abin Sur the prophecy. There were 2 aliens and one killed the other to make the lantern.
The Controllers are creating the orange lanterns.[/spoiler]
