Hal Gets Payback

Using his extensive knowledge of blunt force trauma, Hal knocks out major disaster…

“I don’t have to stick it in his mouth, but it’s more humiliating this way”.

In case you think Green Lantern is above a little revenge:

Oh the smugness…

On a related note, I’d like to share an exchange I had with my daughter this weekend:

“Daddy, I’m bored. Can I have some comics?”
“Sure. What would you like?”
“Do we have any Green Lantern comic books?”
“Sure.”
“Can I have one with Hal Jordan? He’s the best one!”

My own flesh and blood! The shame!

    High City? Makes me wonder what the person who came up with this story was doing.

    I’m sorry, but I just love the name Major Disaster.  His partner was probably Captain Catastrophe.

    There is so much wrong with this story I just don’t know where to start commenting.

    Typo, you’re sure your daughter doesn’t like Hal Jordan because of certain “ass”ets?

    Captain Catastrophe’s real name is Linda Liveslost, as I recall.

    Don’t worry, your daughter will grow out of it.  To young kids, the best heroes are the ones that can potentially do anything – only when they get more sophisticated do they realize how flat-out stupid some of them could be (I speak from experience).

    I…what?  That resolution makes NO FRICKING SENSE!  How does Jordan think that scenario is gonna play out?  “Oh, turns out my enraged enemies don’t NEED to chat with journalists to exact a nightmarish, blood-soaked revenge upon my family.  Oops!”  It’s like Superman hypnotizing Lex Luthor into being unable to speak the words “Clark Kent”.

    Jeez, it was all just a game to them in the Silver Age, wasn’t it?  See, this is why I actually liked “Identity Crisis”.  Just because old stories weren’t serious doesn’t mean you can’t take them seriously if you put some thought into it.
