GREEN LANTERN #3: A theory on Hal, Sinestro and Batman

[starwolf_oakley]

While reading GREEN LANTERN #3 I was thinking about Hal, Sinestro, and Batman. And then it hit me like a power ring construct of a giant green boxing glove:

Hal Jordan doesn't like Batman because Batman reminds him too much of Sinestro.

Any validity to this theory? Maybe Geoff Johns is just writing Sinestro to sound as Batman would at his most Batdickish.

X-Force #18 preview - Dark Angel saga conclusion

[sherkahn]

The Dark Angel saga on X-Force was supposed to come out this week, but my local pusher, I mean CBS didn't get it. So I'm fuming, but I was able to get a little taste of the good stuff, and I wanted to share.

io9.com has the preview. Two behind the cut.

Going straight through the eyeballs into the brain.

Mass Resurrection ala Marvel

[blackruzsa]

I don't know if anyone's posted or seen this already, but there are quite a few spoilers here for the upcoming issues of Avengers: the Children's Crusade.

I'm keeping out a few tags on purpose for those who wish for no spoilers.

Huntress #3

[aeka]

So do you remember Helena's team-up with Catwoman in the post-Crisis continuity, where Selina basically left the security dogs to chase after Helena so she could focus on bypassing a complex security system? Well, I think Helena finally found a solution to that problem in Huntress #3!

And damn, there were so many good scenes in this issue, 4 pages doesn't even begin to do it justice. On the bright side though, I think Levitz finally dropped our first "official hint" on Helena in this issue. I promise it's a very *subtle* one. I think. Maybe.

Anyway, moving on...

"Real Life"

[icon_uk]

I'm a fan of Real Life, a "slice of slightly deranged sort-of-autobiographical life" webcomic, which I've posted samples before.

Sure, it may not be ground-breaking in tone, it uses a repetitive and simple art style (though that sort of thing rarely bothers me), but it makes me smile, and I do find myself having a more than occasional "Yup, I can be that geeky too" moments.

Greg is the main character, a fictionalsed version of the author, and his wife Lis, new baby daughter Harper, and their friends who include Tony (who is to Bond villains what Mycroft was to Sherlock) and Dave, who is sort of Tony's sidekick.

Justice Legal of America

[stubbleupdate]

This week is a large oddity for me, since there's nothing at all on my pull list.

That's not to say that I don't have things to read.

Last week, I bought Jungle Girl vol.1 on Comixology because each issue was 99c.

I've got a proper book without any pictures to read for book group that's actually quite thrilling, which is an intriguing novelty.

And I've got a small pile of She-Hulk to work through. I picked up the Cosmic Collision issue, because it's drawn by current Supergirl artist Mahmud Asrar. ( Here's a little snippet )

Here's also a little bit from the 2004 Dan Slott series, where Jennifer Walters get hired at a top legal firm, ( working in superhero law )

X-Club Preview

Not sure about this one (Dr Nemesis is not as innately appealling to me as I know he is to others), but....

Newsarama has a preview

Laura and Julian, and choices

[salinea]

Our new X-23 story arc opened with Julian and Logan talking about why Julian decided to go to Westminster. It was very awkward and hostile. Then.

But before that, here' some Bearmageddon!
