Green Lantern: New Guardians Annual #1: Das't

[superboyprime]

Here are four pages from Green Lantern: New Guardians Annual #1. A one-shot penned by Keith Giffen, this comic returns the writer to superheroic space opera and one of his favorite words.









The yellow guy is Jediah, a Green Lantern under deep cover in the Tenebrian Dominion.

Anyway. It's Space Cabbie to the rescue! Or the new 52 version of him, at any rate!

I still can't get over how ridiculous Saint Walker looks in that disguise.

[auggie18]

I think you mean ridiculously awesome.

[thezmage]

Some people can pull off the hat look. Some people need to pull off the hat look and never put it back on. Saint walker is the latter.

I have no interest in the Green Lanterns and associated folk, and I actively dislike Scott Kolins' art every other time I've seen it....but I really like the look of this! WITCHCRAFT!!

[shadowpsykie]

New Gardians is the only Lantern Series i actually like... :D

[alan_smithee]

Agreed, he'd be great for some European style straight sci-fi - the whole concept there would have been great for a series with the the DCU/Green Lantern rubbish stripped out.

Damn, I'm kind of interested in this now.

Also: In one page Keith Griffen manages to outline a death game with more clarity and style than Dennis Hopeless has in three issues of Avengers Arena.

So wish we had a like button right now, because LIKE.

I like this quite a bit. The art is right up my alley, and I like the whole team concept. Plus it seems relatively lighthearted, though that might just be the effect of the art.
Is Scott Kolins also doing the art on the regular series for this? Because I might be tempted to give this a look.

What do you mean by "regular series"? If you mean NEW GUARDIANS, then no, he's not. If you mean Giffen's upcoming space opera series that this annual was sort of a teaser/prelude to, then Kolins will be penciling the back-up feature for that.

"This is for being of no use at all."

I'm a terrible person, but that's my basic walking-around, every day motto. People being no use? SMASH!

The Star Sapphire has a good uniform! When did *that* happen?

[thezmage]

In the new 52, Star Sapphires wear better costumes. It's part of the general "pants, everybody!" Policy

[q99]

I thought they changed their mind on that policy (See: Wonder Woman's lack of pants)

[halloweenjack]

Have there been any dudes in the new Star Sapphires? Because that would probably explain it right there.

[q99]

*Checks* Nope.

There was that predator dude awhile back, and then Guy had both a violet and red ring at the same time, but neither wore any Star Sapphire outfit.
