how fitting

[icon_uk]

Given his ongoing anger management issues, it's a damnsight more appropriate than his Sinestro era.

[jlroberson]

Seriously, that makes perfect sense. And he might not be able to talk!

[auggie18]

Krypto is looking pretty Red Lantern-y here too. Of course, Krypto can't really settle on any one of the Lantern emotions long enough to get a ring.

"He's SO ANGRY HE'LL TEAR A VILLAIN TO PIECES! He LOVES SUPERBOY, PARTICULARLY WHEN HE GETS TUMMY RUBS! He WANTS THE WET FOOD SO BAD, BUT MA WON'T LISTEN TO HIM! OOH, BALL!"

[sherkahn]

SQUIRREL!

Dogs will always be Blue Lanterns.

[box_in_the_box]

Dogs are eternal optimists.

I still remember The Onion headline: "Family dog has best day of his life for 5,000th consecutive day."

[lieut_kettch]

Krypto can't be a Red Lantern! Ruffles the Rage Kitty wouldn't allow it.

[cf105]

Ladies, gentlemen and creatures spawned of darkness(am I missing anyone?) shit just got meta.

[stig]

I really don't like to think of Dan Didio in the hands of an angry fanboy with Bitch-Prime's powerset.

[kingrockwell]

Just now?

[espanolbot]

Major Disaster, noooo! :(

[auggie18]

Major Disaster, yeeeeeeeees.

*bow chicka wow wow*

I'm sorry, I was just watching MST3K...

[seawolf10]

We sure it's him?

[sherkahn]

Wait! Didio! Do it, Prime! Take him with you!!!

[mullon]

I can't believe I have to be the one to point this out, but damn, look at the bulge on Prime.

[box_in_the_box]

RAEG-BONER

[bruinsfan]

What's the emotional spectrum color for whiny self-absorption?

[perletwo]

Puce?

[goblinthebamf]

Black Lantern Didio?

[thokstar]

One of the comments of that post suggests that this Source post might be relevant as well.

Ultimately this is going to come down to SBP versus Johns, I imagine.

[jlroberson]

Maybe SBP will rip his arms off. Then Johns will be sorry he overused that.

[alias_grace]

Just when I think the Adventures of Superboy Prime can't get any more amusingly meta, they go and do this?!

I love it! I can't think how Geoff Johns is going to end it all without killing himself off in the comicbook world, but it's going to be very amusing to watch.

[thokstar]

I suspect we'll get a conversation like this.

SBP: "Tell me why I shouldn't kill you?"
GJ: "I can't finish Blackest Night if I die. Or write more Flash or Green Lantern. Or my new Earth-1 Batman graphic novel. And it looks like I'm writing JLA in 2010. And you'll love what I'll do with Black Manta. And ..."
SBP: "Fine! Lousy comic book habit overcoming my urge to kill."

[glprime]

I'm not immediately recognizing the BLs flanking SBP. Who are they?

[theanswer]

I think they're mostly members of the Blood Pack.

[blake_reitz]

I think his costume merges well with that of a Red L.

[lamashtar]

Red looks good on everybody!

[silverzeo]

Still, no Black Lantern Tana Moon?

[jaybee3]

Yes, in regards to Connor at least that would be the first person Nekron would turn into a Black Lantern to get an emotional response. Or are we expected to believe Tana and Kon were not the real thing we saw at the time and he's only ever loved Cassie?

[darkblade]

I will be very sad if Grant Morrison doesn't show up in this as at least a one panel gag to make a comment about how meta this shit is.

[buttler]

Well, he DID die in Suicide Squad. "The Writer" of Earth ... RISE!

[skund]

Blarg, Blackest Night. :/

The backup looks more interesting.
