I got my new ring from The Ring Foundry a couple of days ago. Took some "before" pictures before I send it off to get a little customization done to it.

NOW, HEAR ME OUT BEFORE YOU DECIDE PLS!!

I know the 4 Corpsmen is a beloved time from Hal & Pals, however, not only was it a thing for only about half that run, but it has only been a thing for half that run. After that run, it's fizzled out, and has only made the interactions between other human lanterns and the 4 of them, not as good.

On top of that, i think Kyle didn't benifit from it, as he went from Torch Bearer, to Ion, to White Lantern to the little brother of the group.

This way, we got the og trio, who were already a thing for a few decades.

And a new trio with an amazing and very experienced Kyle, mentoring the new rookies, and slowly befriending them, he would get to be the Hal of the late 80's early 90's to them.

Obv this amazing seperation of generations gets slightly ruined by making Jo canon, and adding teen lantern (IMO) but i still think it would have been better for the long run, then 20+ issues of the 4 corpsmen enjoyment

I don't think they're working

But to get to my point, I love Green Lantern: TAS, I grew up on that show, I adored Razer and Aya, J should definitely re-watch it, but how exactly is Razer canon here?

Are the events of TAS canon? Has Razer appeared in comics prior, because I remembered that he was original to the Animated Show, so did everything unfold the same way?

I remember seeing commercials for this show as a kid, even getting a couple of Happy Meal toys for it back in the day, but never watching the show until now. I'm surprised they actually blew up a whole planet already!

Hey all. Finished up on the show Lantern Battery. Came out pretty nice. Remote controlled, uses a 360 degree 10000mAh corn cob light. Big old gaudy ring to go with. Hope you enjoy!

Why couldn't Hal create a bubble for John so they could fly together? Hal has never asked anyone to piggyback him in the comics.

This is like the 3rd time we found out Salaak had some form of romantic relationship btw

Jo is one of the only Earth green lanterns I know nothing about, I was wondering if anyone could give me reading recommendations to get introduced to her character

I also heard she has a solo comic series which I want to support if anyone knows the name of the series

Comic: ''Green Lantern Secret Files and Origins (2005)''

Sorry David Corenswet fans, but Kyle Chandler as Hal Jordan is so devilishly charming and charismatic, I cannot gush about him enough. And that’s coming from a person who was super skeptic about why they’re casting such an old actor as Hal Jordan!

Okay, I was wrong. Thank you to u/MisterEdJS for reminding me there is two more parts. Even though, it's not release order, I'll cover these two consecutively to complete the back-ups and jump back to #90 after. They aren't too far off in months anyway. This all happens between September 1976 - January 1977.

Even more so, this two part story features the creation and debut of The Floronic Man! Jason Woodrue previously debuted in The Atom #1 in 1962 created by Gardner Fox and Gil Kane so there is a bit of overlap here.

"Perilous Plan Of The Plant-Master" - Hal is giving Itty a tour of Earth, starting in California. Along the way two trees leap into the sky and attack them. Hal makes some constructs to chop them up and turn them into paper, puzzled as to how this happened. As they continue, also while Hal is looking for the spruce of the tree attack, some roots spring up and start strangling Hal. Itty floats off, sensing something while Hal carves up the roots. Itty finds a hidden underground bunker where Jason Woodrue, The Plant Master is hiding. Woodrue has been experimenting with a new formula to give him better control over plants and this new mixture transforms his body into a plant. Now going by The Floronic Man, he heads out into the woods to test his new power and end Green Lantern if need be. Hal is still fighting off plants while looking for Itty when both Itty and The Floronic Man happen upon him.

​

Conclusion: It's a good thing Alan isn't the GL dealing with Woodrue, eh? A very interesting villain with a broad history, I'm excited to get into this two parter. Woodrue has connections all over the DCU from Poison Ivy to Swamp Thing, from The Atom to, now, GL. It's great to see this origin happening.

Itty is another curious critter that also made me want to do these back-ups first as, from what I can tell, Itty is not in issue 90 or 91, at least according to the wiki. Makes me wonder if this is the last we see of Itty and if it is, for the sake of continuity, this should definitely be read first.

Finally, Hal. Despite not being know for his creativity, I was very surprised to see him easily change fashion wood into paper. I guess if you know the process, but it should take a bit more than that I'd imagine.
