Green Lantern Corps #51 (DC) "Revolt of the Alpha-Lanterns Part 4" Tony Bedard Ardian Syaf Vicente Cifuentes Randy Mayor Steve Wands Ryan Sook/Joel Gomez/Fernando Pasarin/Mayor/Carrie Strachan (variant cover)

what we learned: lemme get this straight: Cyborg Supes turned Lanterns into Alpha Lanterns so they would attract the attention of Ganthet so he can turn them all back into mortals, especially Cyborg Supes? and you thought Lost was convoluted. anyhoo, with the little juice his ring has left, Kyle grabs Lantern Hannu as an equalizer, and just in time because Boodikka shows up. her final sacrifice is to power up the GLs.
oh shit moment: Qward? White Lantern stuff? ooooooooooooooo.
what's next: for Stel! for Grenda! for the Corps!!


naaah, that's centuries of not eating healthy, you blue pig.

Gotham City Sirens #14 (DC) "Strange Fruit Part One" Tony Bedard Andres Guinaldo Lorenzo Ruggeiro JD Smith Tomeu Morey Steve Wands Guillem March (cover)

what we learned: Paula Irving a.k.a. Poison Ivy's Star Labs career moves on to its next chapter: getting taken over by an alien plant life form! and you thought The Happening was bad.
oh shit moment: Ivy may be doing this out of her own accord. naah, there'll be a twist/reversal next issue.
what's next: we need saltwater!!!


you never met Plantman yet, have you?

resistance is futile. no, not really.

Green Lantern Corps #50 (DC) "Revolt of the Alpha Lanterns Part 3" Tony Bedard Ardian Syaf Vicente Cifuentes Randy Mayor Carrie Strachan Steve Wands Patrick Gleason/John Dell/Mayor (variant cover)

what we learned: the Cyborg Superman (the anti-thesis of regular comic characters because he wants to die and he can't) is still up to his shenanigans (well, give him credit, he does want to kill himself) and goes through a convoluted plan to turning Lanterns into Alpha Lanterns just to attract the attention of ex-Guardian-now-Lantern Ganthet. hmmmmm, so who's the mysterious dude who told Henshaw these things?
oh shit moment: Ardian Syaf goofs on Ganthet's hand - i mean correct me if i'm wrong (see below).
what's next: paging Dr. Kevorkian!! we have been paging you since 1992, dammit!!


yes, you're right. no, your left.

snaps: Catwoman #83

... where we have the requisite Blackest Night crossover. is this a one-shot deal? the original Black Mask comes back to haunt Selina, and even with help from her little friends in Gotham City Sirens, this battle may have even more damaging consequences. man, i miss Adam Hughes covers on Catwoman (Jim Balent slowly shaking head at me).

zero points for originality, Black Mask; somebody already did that.


somebody mistakenly believed in Luke Wilson and AT&T.


really, there should be a Blackest Night video game. should be as fun as Left for Dead or Dead Rising.


awwww, look who needs more practice in Batman: Arkham Asylum.


Warrior Nun Areala, anyone?

it does not compute

ohhh, look who got Extremis-ed and OD'ed with the Phalanx virus!

is this the apex for Calculator, a one-time DC punching bag who once had a keypad on his costume to figure out schemes that would save his sorry ass from utter defeat?

i preferred him as cunning scheming information mercenary who lived and breathed data like air and lived on the fringes of law and order, selling to the highest bidder, but more often than not sympathetic to the lunatic fringe. in short, the dirty Oracle.

please don't turn him into Brainiac.
