… will pretend this never happened in the morning.

[also, please visit my new project, Batman Punching People]

So, more art, allegedly from the Green Lantern movie, surfaced. These are apparently concept art and like the previous batch of images, they’re depicting how the characters will look like in the movie. Now we have Sinestro and a Guardian of the Universe. The Guardian picture is consistent with the previous ones, and Sinestro’s artwork looks a bit different.

From Latino Review:

Of course, there’s a catch. I can’t find any site with an official source confirming that this is indeed concept art from the film, but a person on TheGreenLanternCorps.com’s forum stated that they knew an unnamed source who had stated these images were concept art from the movie.

Now with that caveat in mind, let’s check the images! Read the rest of this entry »

I don’t know if these are real or not, but I’m blown away just the same. Apparently, Green Lantern movie concept art has been leaked and… Christ, it’s perfect. I’m going to shut up now and I’ll let the pictures speak for themselves:

If these are indeed the real thing, then I can say that they are getting it totally right! Unlike the abomination of the previous concept art that was going around the internet before, they’re actually using the classic costumes! I like this. I hope this is indeed legit, and the movie becomes awesome.

By the way, those images came from Cosmic Book News, where they also managed to somehow get their hands on a GL script. They’ve posted a spoiler-filled summary of the script. Again, take it with a grain of salt.

What do you guys think? Is this the real thing? Or is that dude just pulling our legs? Tell me all about it by leaving a comment!

… is a bit lonely without Carol around.

Well my good friend David and co-writer here on Comicgasm claims that I, as a Green Lantern fanatic and Geoff Johns’ worshipper am “in denial.”

But NOTHING is FURTHER from the truth! I’m sorry David, but if you think your arguments about Green Lantern Corps #42 are well placed, you are CLEARLY and UTTERLY WRONG!

Well I’m sure you readers are wondering what we argued about, and seriously I can’t believe David for his beliefs regarding this image on the issue:

You see, he wouldn’t BELIEVE me that the Green Lantern Kyle Rayner isn’t REALLY dead. As we know, DC has always had a thing for putting plot twists and Geoff Johns does that a lot. So why didn’t Hal Jordan continue on wearing the blue ring ei? That’s coz he’s trying to give us stuff WE WON’T EXPECT.

The reason why I’m making this post is because hilariously enough, nobody supports me on this! Everyone thinks I’M IN DENIAL and that Kyle is really dead and I need therapy. I even quit my job the day after this comic was released. (which of course, had NOTHING to do with this issue – coz again he isn’t really dead)

Nuff said! Now READERS, we all KNOW that he isn’t really dead right? right? RIGHT.

David you are WRONG! WRONG I TELL YOU! Umm can we stop talking about this? dagnabet! WBGKUE WIULEFN!

Arkade here.  Round two with the Lantern Corps.  We’ll now tackle the Violet and Red (RJ must be itching to comment) Lantern Corps.  So, without further ado, here we go.

Violet Lantern Corps:

Emotion Based Power Source:

Love

Color:

Violet

Guardian/s:

The Zamarons

Living Embodiment of Power:

Accept our Ring and join our Fight

Love Conquers all with a Violet Light!

Overview: Read the rest of this entry »

Hello again ladies and gents.  Arkade here.  This is my second post…. ever. Lol.  Anyways, back to business then.  With the Blackest Night arc happening within the world of DC, it is only prudent to try and get a better view of the situation at hand.  This post will be the first of a series of posts focusing on the multiple lantern corps that have been shown in the Green Lantern series.  Again, like my first post, i will focus on strengths and weaknesses of each corps according to my personal opinion (Note: I gladly welcome the views of others with regards to each corps. Nothing better than a hearty debate/discussion).  Also, for lack of a better name, i will use the colors for the corps names… (only Sinestro had the balls to name an entire corps after himself).  I hope that Nhojleif will forgive my intrusion into his personal green lantern space.  Anyways, here we go then:

Green Lantern Corps:

Emotion Based Power Source:

Will

Color:

Green

Guardian/s:

Guardians of the Universe

Living Embodiment of Power:

Ion

Oath:

In Brightest Day, In Blackest Night,

No evil shall escape my sight.

Let those who worship evil’s might,

Beware my power, Green Lantern’s Light!

I don’t find either issue as awesome as the previous ones and some of the prelude issues, but I do have this to say:

DEATH, DEATH, DEATH EVERYWHERE!!!

Comics is generally known to kill some of its characters. But Blackest Night REALLY takes it to the nth level by:

1. Killing more and more characters

2. Turning them into zombies.

3. A supposed “War of Light” of rainbow colored beings is supposed to save the universe. (THINK Power Rangers.)

Sounds like a lame concept? It sure as hell is!

But the awesome Geoff Johns MAKES. IT. WORK.

To be honest, I don’t even know where to start. I’ll start with this advice: read BACK. (No I mean REALLY read back.) Blackest Night is such a vast arc that everyone is practically tied in! To be able to connect with the various characters in their experience of death requires that the reader knows what they have been through.

This is their way of making one-series readers like me read everything else.

Which leads me to my second advice: READ WIDE. Read Batman, Superman, Titans, Red Robin, Justice League, Justice Society: EVERYTHING.

If there is one thing we know about superheroes, it is that they have an unending list of dead relatives and friends. And oh yeah, THEY DIE. There are a lot of Black Rings to go around – so I repeat: READ EVERYTHING.

As for my review I guess that is pretty much it! – There is NO WAY I see that I can make a review without spoiling anything except by saying DEATH IS EVERYWHERE.

One last thing: if you think the ending of Blackest Night #1 was awesome? Check out Blackest Night #2’s ending. (Super Scary) 4.5/5 stars.

One uber last thing: Green Lantern Corps #39 was well written, but 70% of the important details in it are things that have either been revealed or are assumed. 3.5/5 stars.

Imagine…

A Comic Con without a lot of comics…

Imagine…

Tons of bad program management laced with even worse cosplaying… (I’m only homophobic in cosplay events.)

But at the center of it all, stood a humble post with a couple of bubbly people – Milch & Lawrence. They were just quietly doing their thing – attending to curious customers, being annoyed at me because I couldn’t afford anything, etc.

Unknowingly, they brought us HOPE.

In two ways:

1. They had a statue of the Green Lantern (Hal Jordan) in the middle! In my humble opinion, there were too many Anime-holics whereas characters like Hal should have been in the limelight.

I mean seriously, its either we don’t have enough true comic fans, or they get scared away because of things like this:

SERIOUSLY. These characters aren’t even in Manga. (among other reasons)

2. I AM NINOY.

Ok this is the much more serious part.

23 years ago, Senator Ninoy Aquino died a hero.

A few days ago we saw the death his wife, Former President Corazon Aquino.

Common factor? HOPE.

Imagine Nation Studios brings to life via these sculptures the heroes we know and love.

Well this will be basically unpaid advertising, but if you want to obtain / have custom-made / take a look at / bother the people who make these things, go to their multiply here.

Green Lantern fans await the movie a hell lot… So much that a couple of fan made trailers were made:

DC is going to have to do a good job to keep up with the HYPE!
