While I know we can't know the backstory and character of every Green Lantern ever, I'm curious to what degree Green Lanterns see themselves as "space cops" or "space fire-fighters." Do some Lanterns see themselves as representatives of law and order (judge, jury and jailer), while other Lanterns are more about fighting disasters and saving lives instead of fighting "space crime"?

ComicBookResources has the preview for issue #3 of DCnU Green Lantern.

Now this still feels like it's continuing the story from back in the DCU... and I am grateful for it.

Having gone to my LCS today to pick up a few books I decided to give a flip through of the newest Green Lantern issue. I was very happy to see my favorite bibliophile return.

Some interesting story bits happened this issue but really, I picked it up for her so here's some of her.

She loves her stories! )

Continuing from my last post, here are some scans from the second half of JLA: Trial by Fire by Joe Kelly and Doug Mahnke.



Recap: A powerful telepath has been manipulating people across the world to forcibly put an end to its problems, lobotomizing criminals and making world leaders peacefully resolve all their disputes. With the Martian Manhunter in an oddly weakened state, the Justice League is left defenceless from assault. Ultimately it becomes clear that their formidable opponent is a Martian, and in fact, none other than J'onn J'onnz himself, now turned into a monstrous being calling himself Fernus.
Get your sorry motherless Martian thorax back in the water! )

To conclude my focus on the Martian Manhunter, I present to you arguably the most pivotal J'onn-centric story in recent times: Trial by Fire. This ran from JLA #84-89 and concluded Joe Kelly's run on the title. This is collected in trades and is one of my all-time recommendations for best JLA stories.



Ever wonder why the most powerful member of the League could be defeated by something as common as fire?

Earlier I posted scans of the Martian Mahunter's first encounter with Superman. Now it's Batman's turn. Don't worry, he wasn't disguised as Bruce's nanny or something. Theirs is more of a professional acquaintance.

I know it's like overkill for me to be making three posts on the same day, but I have a holiday with plenty of time on my hands and am mostly spending it reading comics, and have a lot of things I've been bursting to share here for weeks.

Lately I've been hunting down issues of the old Martian Manhunter comic. I regard it as one of DC's most underrated series. There are some unexpected gems there. One particularly enjoyable issue is #24 by Ostrander and Mahnke, where Booster Gold and Blue Beetle steal J'onn's cookies. Some scans of this story have already been posted on scans daily before(Just click the Title: martian manhunter tag below, it's the post below this one in the list).

It turns out there's still more hilarity to be found in that issue, after J'onn returns to normal.

I knew I'd read this once before some time ago, I just couldn't recall where. Finally I found it again.

Ever wonder why Jason has such an issue with drug dealers selling to children and/or allowing children to sell drugs?

It's personal.

Two pages from Batman 646, one from Batman 408 and one from Batman 409.



Ickle Jason! under the cut... )
