…I just don’t want to be there when it happens.”

Barry Allan’s logic is flawless (hold the less).

Or it could just fear drowning, like the majority of air-breathing creatures do!

Flash Fact: Many felines, especially the large wild kind, have no issues with water at all.

I am sure if any of you spend any time at any comic book related site, you have seen this:

So Robin is to The Batman as Iris is to The Flash?

That’s from the inside splash page by the way. Generally, that would be with a scene that does not actually happen in the comic.

Not this time!

“Hey Kids, check out the latest insinuation of a ‘sinister’ relationship between Batman and Robin! It’s IMPLICITASTIC!”

So anyway, this is a bad guy who demands to be made a member of the team or he’ll kill them all (way to make with the teamwork!). Still, they defeat him and lock him away (because aliens do not have civil rights of any kind). Then they think about what might have been:

Yes. Because you’d be DEAD, genius.

Remember, Star Sapphire is actually Carol Ferris, but Carol does not know she is Star Sapphire. She is a super villainess whose entire motivation is to get Green Lantern to marry her. Evil aliens take the time to empower her so she can do this. Life on Zamoron is just that boring, I guess.

Anyway, SS decides that if she can outdo GL, his will power will weaken and he’ll have no choice but to marry her. She does so, because out-witting Hal Jordan is like tricking a cat – get yourself a laser pointer and you’re set.

“OH SNAP WHAT DID I JUST SAY UM-”

Way to muster that Willpower, Hal.

“Ha-hah-hah! Star Sapphire will cry. Because she is a girl. A stinky, smelly, cry-baby girl.”

Hal outwits Star Sapphire (because girls are stupid, you see), and we get this touching moment:

Dear G-d, Hal is creepy. Aside from the fact that he is reading her mind, there’s the fact that Carol doesn’t know she’s Star Sapphire and he keeps it from her. Then there’s the immensely messed up last panel.

Can you read that? Lemme blow it up…

What the heck?

Then why didn’t he just let her take the dang mask off!

Of all the foes GL fights, Sonar may be his best match. Mentally I mean.

Hal just created a vacuum around himself. As in, an airless vacuum. A smart bad guy would just wait for him to suffocate. Not Sonar, though.

Wait… ultra-sonics creating magnetic waves?

That ain’t right.

It’s been too long since I’ve come across a spanking panel. This one cheered me up*.

Fascinating that the alien teacher knows what spanking is.

Corporal punishment: the universal language!

*That sounded wrong, didn’t it?

Hmmm.

What are Hawkman’s boot-heals made of that they make sparks on brick?

Because I want a pair.

Warning: Awesome imagery below:

I love how it’s not just magic that did it, but magnetic magic.

It’s good to see that it’s not just Marvel and DC that did the “Refer to Women as Females, No Matter How Awkward it May Sound” thing:

Take a shot.

International Law does not work this way:

So wait… war, poverty, and oppression were all legal before?

Hal has quite the ego.

Kinda a vague resemblance, no? I wonder if that’s Hal’s reaction whenever he meets a bi-pedal creature with two manipulator appendages and a central sensory stalk.

Also, that land mass doesn’t actually curve with the planet. Interesting.

I’m going to show another panel from this story, which isn’t really interesting enough to be a post on it’s own, but is still something that got me thinking:

Hal lands on the Planet (after it shoots yellow missiles at him), and sees all his enemies about to attack him.

Wait, what the heck just happened? Seriously.
