Green Lantern #15 *Preview/Spoilers*

[Big Daddy Dave Skywalker]

I've always found it odd that Power Ring never showed up in Green Lantern vol 2 during the 60s or 70s. It seems like a natural idea; even moreso than in JLA or The Flash. GL utilized the antimatter universe and Qward, why not use Power Ring for a doppleganger villain? Like Space Cop mentioned, nothing kept them from using Alan Scott in GL.

Yo.

nah. they were too busy trying to show us the trials & tribulations of both Kyle AND Hal (pre-ET natch) to bother, on top of which he was "erased" anyways..........

Indeed. They could've done a lot more with Power Ring, especially during the 1990s.

[Space Cop]

As long as Power Ring has been around, I'm shocked he never appeared by himself in a GL title. His only appearances are with the Syndicate in the JLA books, as far as I know.

It is strange. He's a decent villain. And if you think of it, JLA used to do that annual crossover with JSA (when it was alternate universe) and yet Alan still popped up in GL.

[Tazer]

Yo.

Please don't give Johns anymore ideas. It was bad enough the first time around. Come to think of it, what's going to happen to all of this color stuff once Johns leaves the book?

it'll survive unless some other writer makes a concerted effort to change things, same way the Speed Force did when Waid left Flash (and was an idea Ive NEVER really liked.........)

It's sad that Johns has done more damage to GL than any other creator, so soon after making the brand a top seller.

[G'nortDoggie88]

Yo.

the return of a buncha bald, beady-eyed mongoloids firing anti-matter, who could be a threat to *every Corps* Johns has cooked up?

dont be absurd.

why would Johns do something like that, when he can continue to have his interstellar Rainbow Coalition flying around doing wateverthefuck bullshit he's had'em doing for the last few years.......?

[Tazer]

Yo.

from wat I remember, we NEVER saw Volthoom; all we ever got from P.R. about his ring was that it was given to him by an old monk/mystic to do good, but becuz on Earth 3 most spb's tended toward evil deeds he was constantly tortured by the device *constantly* saying his benefactors name in his ear/mind.

thats about as far as I can remember it ever going; the only member of the CSA who made an appearance outside of their JLA -showing pre-CoIE was Ultraman in an ish of DCCP.




Tazer

[VeesFistOfDeath]

Do any of those issues touch on or show tthe old Volthoom?

[Tazer]

Yo.

I dont think P.R. had ever appeared in anything else but JLA in vol 1 of the series (nothing GL-specific comes to mind, but I think his 1st appearance was JLA #29 back in '64), and then he bit the big one in CoIE #1 back in '85.

Morrison then re-introduces him in JLA: Earth 2 in 2000, but after that we dont see him again until the "Syndicate Rules" -storyline from JLA vol.3 ish's 107 to 114 (which I think came out in tpb).




Tazer

[VeesFistOfDeath]

Im interested to see where the Volthoom thhing goes. Can anyone tell me which issues had Volthoom in them before the reboot and what-not?

[Lantern A-train]

Nah let's give Larfleeze the big jugs. I could just picture him now not paying attention or doing much of anything cause he is sitting in a corner squeezing his boobs together and chanting mine.

:Moderator:

Can we give Evil Carol the mustache, and Good Atrocitus a rockin' set of tits?

[Big Daddy Dave Skywalker]

This all sounds like a great porno, but a BAD comic.

Well that makes GL halfway there aleady.
