Okay. Blackest Night. What a ride.

So I just finished reading Blackest Night 8, and what can I say? It’s fucking awesome. It has all these moments that both made me geekgasm and cringe. Dialogue is still typical Geoff Johns: cliche-riddled but somehow it works. But in the end it’s so fucking awesome I totally forgot about the book’s flaws and I just sat and took it all in.

Okay then. Now on to the SPOILER-FILLED PART OF THE REVIEW (don’t read any further if you haven’t read BN #8): (continue reading…)

Ok. Hello again guys and gals. Here’s the third portion of the Lantern corps series of posts.  I’m sorry for the uber late post.  Apparently, work + writing = no progress whatsoever.  But now, I was able to finally find the time to finish this.  Anyways, the corps to be tackled here are the Orange lanterns and the Blue lanterns (yes Fiel, I know you’ve been waiting for this…).  So, without further ado, here we go.

Yes! We finally have red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet and black rings! So after collecting all the crayola corps rings, we decided to have some fun and make fools of ourselves at the same time! Not content with wearing matching rings and shirts in public and getting people confused if we’re supposed to be power rangers or what, we decided to post pictures for everyone to see!

Mouse over the pics for the captions!

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!
