A Kyle title

I really don't think calling Kyle the "Torchbearer" is being pretentious. He's called that in the comics and he's pretty damn important to the Corps. We all know that he's carried the torch for awhile, he was the first MAJOR shot in the arm for the GLU. It's not a "brand new monicker" because he's been called that in the comics now for YEARS. Gardner pokes fun at him for it. Rookies respect him and are always in awe. It fits.

Arisia said during the Sin War to Sodam Yat:

"You may be good kid but you're no Hal Jordan."

In my opinion, other Lanterns may be cool and all but there's only one Torchbearer. And we all know who he is.

Ok, right now we got GL and GLC. Anymore, and we might be pushing our luck.

And our money...

But Dave does have a point. JK Rowling does it with the Harry Potter books. Have the title remain a mystery until things start to fall together. That way, the title is irrelevant but still adds to the overall "coolness".

Well I don't know in the past they were able to sustain 3 gl titles, GL, GLC, GLCQ so it's always possiable.

I think Quarterly is the way to go! I'd like to see more on the Corps in general, I do like Kyle but him and Guy do seem to headline GLC!

It doesn't matter. Joe Q comic-goer will pick it up off the rack and go, "Oh. Wow. This GL is pretentious."

or maybe they'll pick it up and say "Oh. Wow. This GL sounds like the fn man!"

Both valid statements, still could we get lucky enuff with 3 gl titles? first off lets review, we have two GL titles, in JLA right now, getting his own team, is in JSA, plus all the places they seem to pop up as guest stars, I think its a good time to be a fan!

If I were an editor at DC, I'd hand Kyle to Joe Casey and Adrian Alphona. I'd commission a bunch of covers from Joshua Middleton. Then I'd try to do a little mini-summit with Casey, Geoff Johns and Pete Tomasi, to figure out how to get Kyle back to Earth. There, he'd move back to Bleecker Street (not in the same house, but across the street or at least close enough for him to walk to Radu for a cup of coffee).
Then, I'd let Joe do his thing.

He can fly. That means stopping by Radu's isn't much of a problem no matter where he's at. I always think of the Art Retreat he's supposed to live at now as in upstate NY, just a few hours out of the city limits.

He can fly, that's right. But Radu can't. If Radu is supposed to be reintegrated into Kyle's supporting cast, he should be close. So should Alison, by the way.

[Ωmega Man Guardian of the Universe Find all posts View Profile Close Ωmega Man]

Alison had potential but I think there's a lot of interest elsewhere like th mute girl at the Art Retreat, Anya the timelost Russian GL of Kyle's New Corps, Donna Troy, etc. But seeing Alison would give Kyle more chances to hang around Radu's more often, I just don't see a relationship falling into his hands. She also commented once in issue #97 I think that she thinks her and Kyle are good FRIENDS. He was the one telling her with guys it's hard to keep friends and lovers seperated.

And c'mon, she another former model trying to take her own pictures. We've seen that what, 3 times now with Donna, Jade, and Alex?

Oh, I didn't want to hook them up. I just would like to see her appear in the book.

I thought Alex was newspaper photographer?

I would try to Geoff it. By that I mean find a decent way to explain how to go back to the basics of Kyle Rayner. Off the Topp of my head,Maybe have him disagree with the use of Leathal force. However Hal,John,Guy,and Alan don't want to lose him as a Green Lantern,so they find him a way to use a power ring that is not connected to the Guardians so he dose not have to take orders from the Guardains. This works for Hal ,and John because they don't have to worry about spending alot of time on Oa when Earth has a qulified Green Lantern permently assighned to it.

I think it would also be cool because though unoffical Corps members they can go places that the Guardains forbid. Though I would try to keep Kyle on Earth as much as possible. The hard task is picking a costume,picking a ring design,and finding a name for the book. I think that we should let a wriiter who is a big Kyle fan write it,and find us a damn good artist to hook people in. I also think it should get 2 years to prove itself,if this dose not work then I will finally say that the Kyle fan base is just not strong enough for his solo anymore.

His ring is only connected to the a.i of the guardians and kyles ring is already improve by his own during the 150 issue and the 25th by ganthet still though the writer in glc havent put it in on his rings stats because it may affect the other gl's lets hope for the best because kyle's ring is the only diff ring among the corps inc. hal's though it's hal in the 1st place and now its kyle's; i still like his jim lee costume wht i hate is his collar it should be the same as the new that's cool.....
