More Brightest Day Fun

As usual the Source has Brightest Day related solicitations.

There's also some Green Lantern related news, including a third GL title.



GREEN LANTERN #54

BRIGHTEST DAY shines its light on the “New Guardians” who have been forced to make Earth their new home! Why? You’ll have to read it to believe it. While Hal is forced to deal with Larfleeze and his newfound appreciation for Earth culture, Sinestro uncovers the mystery behind Parallax’s disappearance.

Look, Rage Kitty caught a subway train.

Also, Larfleeze on Earth? I imagine he wants some McDonald's. And an XBox/PS3/Wii. And two of every other consumer geek product ever made.



GREEN LANTERN CORPS #48
On sale MAY 12 • 32 pg, FC, $2.99 US

BRIGHTEST DAY shines its light on a new “Emerald Dawn”! In the wake of BLACKEST NIGHT, the Green Lantern Corps Honor Guard has expanded to include John Stewart and former Guardian Ganthet. Can the new immortal Green Lantern and the legendary Marine help Kyle Rayner suppress the growing threat within their ranks?

Tomasi is jumping to a new GL: Emerald Warriors title featuring Guy Gardner and Kilowag (and possibly others.) Johns gets to play with Hal, Carol, Sinestro, and his new creations in the main title, and Bedard gets to do more space epic stuff that he can tie in with R.E.B.E.L.S. and gets to write Kyle, John, and Ganthet (and probably others as well; I assume Soranik's in this book.) I don't know how Kyle or John fans will feel about this.

Syaf did Blackest Night: Batman and the Phantom Stranger tie in.

I, for one, look forward to seeing how such outlandish monsterous characters like Larfleeze and Atrocitus learn how to fit in, as well as Earth's reaction to playing home for the Space Hitler who recently invaded the planet with his legion of yellow alien terrorists.

Atrocitus and Larfleaze in hawaiian shirts, on tour!

No, even better/worse:

... That image is either horrific or wonderful.

(Doesn't hurt that Larfles has always sounded a bit like Steve Martin in my head...)

Sadly it brings to mind the (awful) Imperial Guard mini Marvel put out in the 90s. Aliens in the Big Apple. Makes me want to tear my hair out.

Well, as long as they wear those overcoats like the Thing and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles wear when they're sneaking around town, they'll do fine. I'm guessing the the two will rent an apartment and wackyness will insue.

I picture Larfleeze spending most of his time shutting down fast food restaurants and "all you can eat" Buffets.

Motto!

You can never have enough Larfleeze!
