So Magnusarkade is totally raging right now because of the conclusion of the War of the Green Lanterns, which [SPOILER FUCKING ALERT] left Hal Jordan banished from the Corps after killing Krona. LOL.

Anyway, the solicit and the alternate cover of Green Lantern #1, released in time for the rebooted DCnU, just came in. And we have some disturbing news for you, son. The cover is after the cut. Spoiler alert again.

Okay. Pretty much EVERYONE is angry at DC right now, and for good reason. But let’s take a blue ring and sooth that RAGE for now and see something GOOD for a change.

I’m talking about Green Lantern Emerald Knights, DC’s latest direct-to-video feature film. And it is oh so very good. So good that I went back to liking Geoff Johns for a while. Man, that is crazy! Warning: this review is spoilerrific!

You know why it’s so damn good? Because it’s not centralized on just one character, *COUGH* HAL JORDAN *COUGH* but about the diverse members of the Green Lantern Corps. Hal got to be the story teller to an animu-looking rookie Arisia though. *insert statutory rape joke here*

Oh man, oh man, oh man. The new Green Lantern trailer is out, and i’m supposed to write a nice filler paragraph here explaining how excited I am for the new movie, also how much I hate Hal Jordan’s costume because really, fuck that shit that costume sucks. Anyway here’s the part where I’ll try to do a random segue so I can actually finish writing and just get on to the video, because, really it’s that awesome. I haven’t had decent sleep for a week already so please forgive my meta blogging jokes.

Finally: HAL JORDAN/SENESTRO SWORDFIGHT! KILLOWOG TALKING! MORE OF THAT MYSTERIOUS YELLOW CLOUD!

What do YOU think?

A very credible source posted this image today. Because intentional or not, DC doesn’t have a preview image of GLC 59′s cover on their website. Granted, covers lie ALL THE TIME(fuck you, Winnick!), but hey! Wouldn’t hurt to speculate.

Red Lantern Guy Gardner: Check.

Blue Lantern Kyle Rayner: Okay. Now he really is Natu’s bitch!

Sinestro Corp Hal Jordan: Been there, done that. Violet pls.

Indigo Tribe John Stewart: Army fatigue and sniper rifle. Compassion. Sounds about right. Also, KLEK NOK.

Of course, the cover of  Green Lantern Corps #60 has Kyle and John back in green so idk, stupid covers! Hell, they don’t even have rings in #58! Oh, and so far, War of the Green Lanterns is off to a bad start. Not as terrible as Brightest Day, but then few event books are. As for the Earth Lanterns’ palette swap, we’re gonna have to wait and find out if DC’s out to troll us(again). Greyest Afternoon, anyone?

The Green Lantern film starring Ryan Reynolds as Hal Jordan was on my most-anticipated films a couple of years back. However, by the time they showed  us a preview of that horrible, horrible costume, and with the very lackluster trailer, my anticipation for this film waned down to a barely-audible “meh.” Green Lantern’s a favorite character of mine and it feels like the filmmakers were doing their best to strip from the movie everything that made the comic so great.

And I felt that way, until I saw this 4-minute video showing footage from WonderCon. This short clip totally restored my faith in my the movie. I’ll let the footage speak for itself.

Opening in 3D and 2D theaters on June 17, the Martin Campbell-directed action adventure stars Ryan Reynolds, Blake Lively, Peter Sarsgaard, Mark Strong, Angela Bassett, Tim Robbins, Temuera Morrison, Jay O. Sanders, Taika Waititi, Jon Tenney and Geoffrey Rush.

The costume still sucks, though.

What do you think of this new footage?
