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!

Hey guys, this is the first-ever Comicgasm joint entry! Well, it’s just Ade and RJ (coz Fiel has way too much in his hands right now, mind you), and what we’re doing here is Comicgasm’s little bit of civic duty! We’re going to help save the earth.

So guys, remember, it’s Blog Action Daaaaay! Except it’s about to end in 15 minutes! But hey, it’s still noon in New York!

You see, Captain Planet visited the Comicgasm offices today. We were all busy getting handjobs from Eastern European prostitutes working hard to write the high-quality kind of comic book reviews Comicgasm is known for: a little rushed and done half-heartedly, and peppered liberally with dick jokes. Then OMGSH it’s Captain Planet tapping our windows with that creepy pedo-smile of his! (continue reading…)

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.
