The War of Light

I think this just speaks volumes by itself. No words on my part will do it justice.

They still haven't changed the Star Sapphire costumes? Johns normally caves to fan pressure (changing the JSA HQ back to a brownstone, changing Stargirl's star rod back to its old form, etc.), so that surprises me.

And I JIZZED IN MY PANTS!!!

Carol Ferris as Star Sapphire had fully covered legs last time we saw her. (But still had the insane V-neck.) Blame inconsistent artists?

I continue to have no interest in buying this series. If it results in bringing some character back to life, I'm sure I'll find out afterwards.

I was surprised to see Hal in there at all, honestly, much less in Green. Since he's currently Orange. I know many folks are waiting for him in a pink outfit....

Please don't screw up this war of light - I am looking forward to it with hopeful hope.

Ed Benes is not allowed to draw women. Ever.

There is a difference between sexy and just plain sexist. And apparently he doesn't see the difference. (Not to mention boobs, butt, stomach, legs, ribs, arms, and hands do not work that way. And I had thought he'd gotten better since his Requiem days. Guess he's reverting.)

[sailorlibra.insanejournal.com]

Oh and spines don't work that way either.

This lesson I take from all this: Power Ring users are all douche bags; if you want to be cool and still wield energy-based constructs, get yourself a Cosmic Rod.

So what is he likely outcome ? A unified lantern ? also what is holding up Sapphires costume ???

[volksjager.insanejournal.com]

I agree. the breasts are ou of control.

[sherkahn.insanejournal.com]

what is holding up Sapphires costume ???

Sheer will power, the stocking & fabric makers for all space cadets, and the power of decency.

Quantum Bands are better! :P

[icon_uk.insanejournal.com]

Either White Lantern (inevitably Hal) or

RAINBOW LANTERN

[sherkahn.insanejournal.com]

Oooooh, that gives me an idea. There are various quantum states, depending on the math.

And with several people who have worn the bands, there could be a quantum corps.

Hello, pretty new desktop wallpaper.

I want Guy to be a Rainbow Lantern. You know, because it would be fucking hilarious. He'd be all, "Not one word outta you, Rayner," and Kyle would just sit there laughing and laughing and laughing and then Ice would be like "Doesn't he look lovely?" and then Rainbow Raider could show up and be like "I BELIEVE IN YOU."

But of course, this is Geoff Johns, so any possibility that doesn't end with IA IA HAL JORDAN, KING OF ALL LANTERNS is not worth considering.

Saint Walker doesn't look like he is doing anything useful there.

So the orange lanterns will be always keeping their batteries with them?
Maybe they will even keep all that energy to themselves.

"Shoot him! Shoot him!"
"No! You shoot! I am not giving him anything of mine!"

[sherkahn.insanejournal.com]

Maybe they are energy stealers, drainers, like the robot Manhunters. But also steal life energy and will power.

There already is, sort of, all the previous bearers of the Q-Bands, Eon's various Protectors of the Universe exist as constructs in the "White Room".

[icon_uk.insanejournal.com]

He's singing cheerful songs to bring hope to their hearts?

[icon_uk.insanejournal.com]

So the orange lanterns will be always keeping their batteries with them?

Makes sense, giving their nature as embodiments of Greed. "Don't let anything THAT valuable out of your possession".

A different Star Sapphire appearing in Green Lantern Corps recently wore a variant of the Silver Age costume, so presumably, like with GLs, some variation in the costumes is poossible.
The flimsy atrocity depicted above however has, to my knowledge only ever appeared in the Johns penned Green Lantern books, so it kind of seems as though he is insisting on it.

[bluefall.insanejournal.com]

Just from an artistic standpoint, it strikes me that if you're doing this "warm colors vs cool colors" thing, it behooves you to make the Star Sapphires an actual cool color, like the violet they supposedly represent, rather than Despero-skin pink.

[ian_karkull.insanejournal.com]

Well, if all else fails, they can still use them to bash in the heads of their enemies. Can't do that with cheap jewelry.

I'm more bothered by the fact that their uniforms appear to have shirt sleeves. Now that's just tacky.
