Love Is…

…slavery, apparently.

Katma Quits

May 19, 2009 in Bad Science, Green Lantern, What Were They Thinking

So why would Katma quit?

See, she was the replacement of Sinestro, the evil Lantern guy.. She was good at it too. There’s just one thing she didn’t expect:

Another Classic GL Story from #30

May 18, 2009 in Female Drinking Game, Green Lantern, What Were They Thinking

I give you, the first appearance of Katma Tui, the Green Lantern of Sector 1417, and one very different from any GL Hal had met by that time. Why?

Great Comic, or Greatest Comic EVER?

May 15, 2009 in Green Lantern, What Were They Thinking

Green Lantern #30 may be the greatest comic book in history, merely for it’s antagonists.

“Sure,” you say “Prehistoric beasts attacking in a city. What’s the big deal?”

Oh but these are no mere pterodactyls…

The Bouncer

May 14, 2009 in Odd Powers, What Were They Thinking

I give you a character with an origin so messed-up, it melds that fine line between lame and awesome.

Behold, the Bouncer – with super expository powers!

In today’s super-decompressed stories, that one panel would be a whole issue, with the last sentence ending in a cliffhanger.

I need more Bouncer comics.

Phantom Lady Knew Some DUMB Men.

May 13, 2009 in Phantom Lady

Okay, so Sandra Knight (aka Phantom Lady) is in a sealed room, with guards. Phantom Lady comes out of the room. Reaction?

Man, we’re one stupid gender.

Then there’s Phantom Lady’s love interest. He’s more than just a dumb hunk.

He’s a jerk, too.

“We’ll have none of this ‘alone time’ when we’re married, that’s for certain!”
“Y’got that right.”
“Wha?”

May 12, 2009 in Sexism, What Were They Thinking

Here’s a big ‘un for ye…it starts out well, but read it to the end.

Ancient Hidden Matriarchy

May 11, 2009 in Cliches, Freudian Images, What Were They Thinking

Samar, Lord of the Jungle, is brought forward to be the slave (wink, wink) of Lazana, the ruler of a hidden, all female tribe (one assumes this is how they perform all their procreation).

That’s an… interestingly shaped throne you have there, Lazana. I especially like the carvings.

Please tell me you guys see this too?

Oh For Crying Out Loud

May 08, 2009 in Green Lantern, Unconcious Hal Drinking Game, What Were They Thinking

More Hal vs his deadliest foe. No, not Sinestro. No, not the Shark. Carol Ferris? HAH!

Himself!

I’m assuming there was invisible yellow or something, but I’m counting this as part of the man’s uncanny ability to knock himself out.

Help Me Out Here

May 07, 2009 in Freudian Images, Green Lantern, What Were They Thinking

Maybe this is just me


Is “titanic struggle” code for making out?

No?

Well, it is now!
