Ch'p Gets Grim and Gritty

[tpsreports]

A few pages from Green Lantern Mosaic #2




Do not adjust your set you're about to experience...





Post-crisis Ch'p is really suffering.



So John Stewart gives him a job guarding a road. What could go wrong?


Well at least I'm sure the creative team will handle the death of beloved lantern with the care it deserves, right?





Sigh... If for some reason you want to read more you can visit my blog but it's really not worth it.

So, what, they couldn't use their Green Lantern powers to stop the truck because the truck is yellow?

The truck's wheels are black. The truck's bumper is grey. No part of the truck that is likely to hit tiny little Ch'p is yellow.

Just put a green hamster-ball type forcefield around Ch'p, and boing, he bounces away from the point of impact unharmed.

Or he could have just stayed where he was, since he wasn't in front of the wheels, the truck would have passed over him and he would have been fine.

Too many people seem to ignore something I think should be a basic rule of writing; Unless you're going for an "everyone dies and there's no hope for humanity" level of darkness, you don't kill off the comic relief.
