I would love that. Just would feel bittersweet without Kat and Ch'p.

That was good for an arc but I would prefer that some of the better recently 'dead' Lanterns be brought back. Not talking Abin Sur or Katma Tui, but like Kreon, Laira, Jack T Chance, Hollika Rahn. The GLC needs more kick butt members in it again.

I was surprised that with all of the reboots since 2005, they have never bothered to bring Tomar Re back.

I loved Tomar. I keep hoping they'll do another figure of him (which is about .05% likely since he's not rebooted/rebirthed) since the one I have broke both his ears off in a fall. That dang Xudarian took a suicidal leap off my bookshelf (or so I assume having found him floored one morning).

You could get a Tomar Tu and just pretend, lol or did he never get a figure either?

Not that I've noticed. I would have gotten it if I saw it.

[Big Daddy Dave Skywalker]

Tomar Re has been done as a figure quite a few times now.

This is the one I have who lost his ears:



I also have the full-size and small figs from the movie.

[Big Daddy Dave Skywalker]

Oh yeah, DCD LOVED reusing that mold!

I think my favorite Tomar is the one Mattel did that came in the box set.

^I just saw that while googling this one. I gotta get me that. I'm not a big Matty collector, but I like the looks of that one (online anyway).

[Big Daddy Dave Skywalker]

Matty did a lot of great GL figures. They really struck while the iron was hot.

[EmeraldGladiator]

So is EVS a regular artist on this book like a 50/50 share with Sandoval? I only ask because in some interviews they speak of designs and putting his stamp on it but go short of calling him the regular artist for the ongoing. They do say he is a big part of the Rebirth issue. In some interviews it is clear but in the latest one not so much and I was curious, if the status had changed.

[Hypo]

Yea he is. They'll be rotating arcs with Sandoval doing the first one.

Some of those early DCD figures were fragile as eggs. Sometimes pegs broke for no reason at all. The DCUC figs had much better QC, as do most DCD figs in the last 7-8 years, with the exception of sloppy paint application at times.

I really miss those days. I love Hal, Sinestro, and John as much as any long-time GL reader, but those seem like the only Lantern characters that are getting made since DCUC ended. I'd really like some more supporting characters.

I would like a crossover comic involving the Transformers and Lantern Stel. It'd be nice to see these huge robots pwn'd by the emerald light.

Also the fact that the transformers are essentially silicon-based biomechanical creatures that run on energy, the implications of them being able to feast off the emerald energy is intriguing and would be a good plot point.

I know this title is supposed to focus on the earth Lanterns, but I'd love to see Hal work with a group of Lanterns we haven't seen much of or that he hasn't worked with very often: Stel, Laira, Isamot Kol, etc. and Arisia again. (I don't think they've had a significant interaction since she was brought back)

Laira is still dead as far as I know.

I've been re-reading this run and it's more cohesive than I thought. It takes on quite a few preexisting story points and does them justice. There are a couple of logic hiccups, but they don't bog down the plot. I'm mostly going to remember this series for Kyle becoming a Greenie again and Sora heel-turning on him, but there were quite a few bright spots in HJ&TGLC.
