This storyline is getting better and better…

Seems like everybody except Kyle is wearing their orginal uniform with only a few alterations and more modern hairsyltes:

Hal got rid of the unitard(looking back, that would work for females such as Brik or Jade, were she still alive…but on Hal? umm, no…glad he got the update).

Jon naturally looks like his JLU counterpart(got rid of the afro ages ago, and his costume is very distinctive).

Recently, Guy has been drawn withouth that Godawful bowl haircut(even though some artists still give him that look, and keep drawing the “moon boots” on him as well…blech).

Kyle’s not sporting the Shemp Howard hairdo anymore(sorry, that’s the only person I ever think about when I used to look at his hair…And Guy woud most definitely be “Moe”…).Also, his mask isn’t the issue…it’s the whole costume. I miss the original gauntlets, black and white logo, and knee-covered get-up. If everyone is going to wear their original, I say since he’s no longer Ion, get back to basics.

I’m thinking too that Hal may have inadvertedly killed his family snatching ‘lax off the balcony at Mach 1, but they didn’t show it so I guess their okay. I hope…

From upcoming solicits, I’m sure Sinestro will survive this, Henshaw will not die(and we’ll hear him whine more about it…), Arkillo and Caru-sil may buy it. I don’t see Anti-monitor being defeated so easily here, though…

As for Sodom Yat v.s SM-Prime? Anybody wanna place a bet? I don’t think Sodom(even with his Daxamite birth, and a Power ring) is as strong as the Smallville Psycho…

Ben - I might not be understanding/explaining this completely correctly, but I think the vulnerability only affects those lacking the willpower to overcome it; the Earth Lanterns have all shown they have.

At least I *think* that’s how it goes.

Anyone else have a problem with Kyle’s mask? It looks mighty, um, ‘Batman and Robin’-ish. Oh Joel Schumacher, how did it all go so wrong?

So what’s left of Parallax is trapped in those four power batteries… Would that not put the yellow vulnerability back in the rings?

Or has that been totally retconned to be just “fear”?

Umm, were Jim Jordan & family going to die anyway, after Hal blasted away half of the balcony they were standing on? They might need to follow up on that one…

Also, is it me, or did they use the same font for the Oath as you do in your Review buttons, thus awesomely co-ordinating that Header image?

There’s a Green Lantern message board I lurk at, and they found a couple of fun things in the 2 page spread when the Corps rescues Guy;

1. ET!

I’ve heard that Johns is calling this Dc’s Star Wars, and I have to say that Parallax spouting one of Darth Vader’s lines - “I Have You Now, ____” is very appropriate. It’s basically the same character - supposed ‘Saviour’ of an order of Peacekeepers gets turned to their exact opposites by Head of said opposites, AND after the Death of his Mum…
