GL: New Guardians #8 hits shelves!
The Weaponer returns! We also learn the
current state of the union of the Sinestro Corps... while I
lament the Kyle Rayner series not actually seeing a lot in the
way of Kyle Rayner-centric character material I did find this
issue to be a great deal of fun. Discuss
here.

Corps Cast on the GL movie! Our thoughts on the film can be heard here:
Green Lantern movie premieres! "Green Lantern" has opened in theatres across the world
and GL fans everywhere finally have gotten
the chance to see their favorite superhero on the big
screen... that's the good news. The bad news is that the movie
has been largely critically panned, its
Rottentomatoes rating fluctuating all the way down between
20% and 25%. Comparisons are coming up to "Catwoman" and
"Wolverine." Box office results are coming in from the first
weekend, placing it
as underperforming, behind Thor and behind X-Men: First
Class's first weekends.
Who and
what is to blame? A variety of factors are being assessed,
some that the movie was overproduced and "made by committee,"
and others suggest that fingers can be pointed directly at
Geoff Johns, "who also writes the Green Lantern comics and
was integrally involved (reputedly even the deciding vote) on
every big decision. And he's respected but also controversial
in some quarters" (from
Deadline). The script that existed before Geoff came
aboard and the shooting script that was arrived at after his
involvement was dramatically different, so no matter how the
chips fall it seems reasonable that he must carry some portion
of the blame.
I
personally saw the film last night with objective eyes (not,
you know, "I'm looking for things they got WRONG from the
COMICS!" because that's silly) and enjoyed it. It's a fun, if
flawed, little introduction to the world of GL. What seemed
lacking to me was a bigger buildup to the Parallax fight at
the end, a strong score, and I don't know... a bigger sense of
"wow!"
