Brightest Day September 2010 Solicitations

more charachters = toys = big money for dc

And the cyrcle of life continues...

In a sense that will help us learn more about the new characters for the colored corps. If we see the Entities of those corp, Im willing to bet the focus of said issue will be about that corp

Yeah, it could be. We'll just have to wait and see.

Thats the typical Raker response, you get used to it after awhile, nobody on here really likes him much anyway, so I wouldnt let it bug you.

As for GL, havent bought it since BN ended, good to see its carried on being crap, wonder what other new characters GJ will add when he starts his 2nd part of his trilogies of trilogies.

Anyone remember Cowgirl? and those guys back at the base? me neither.

Also maybe someone can explain, not you raker, how is it the corps arent killing each other right now? before I could understand with the threat of the BL's but with them gone, how is it they havent resumed killing each other? or maybe they are? I dunno like I said I havent read it since BN, but even then I knew this would be a problem when it ended.

Yep, you're right. It's better ignoring people like him. Thanks!
And about what you said about Cowgirl, and those guys...that's my point. Whatever happened to them? We have no idea, and in a couple of issues we'll have even more characters to develop. And, to be honest, since "Blackest Night", my trust in Johns has decreased. I hope he proves me wrong.
Ohh, and about the Corps, when "The Blackest Night" was over, they called an Intergalactic Truce, or something like that, between the Corps.

At the moment it seems GJ is unable to tell a standalone story in one book, without you having to go buy 20 other books to get the whole story, and even then its a hyperbole for the next big thing.

That sounds pretty dumb, I can maybe just about buy Sinestro agreeing to that, only for the sake he would have some other nasty plan in the works, but Atrocitus? the man was hell bent on killing the Guardians, GL's and Sinestro.

Dunno if the Zamarons would agree with that either, this kind of story telling seems to be the case of what is convenient at the time.

You know like how Sodam Yat was convenient in SCW but after that he was useless, so they stuck him in the sun.

i dont see how new characters make a story crap, i mean...from the looks of things (someone mentioned it) u explore more of what was established already (in this case..blue and the entity), even if it is from a new character

Anyone remember Cowgirl? and those guys back at the base? me neither.

who?

there was a truce, idk if u saw brightest day...0? or #1 cant remember, and i think it was in the preview

sinestro was given an amnesty for helpin out, which is why larfleeze is carryin sayd around on earth and why atro + rage kitty are roamin NY and bein somethin of a vigilante duo (when it's convenient)

now, as far as the other yellows and reds, i have no fkn clue there's no focus on them, just like how they were pushed aside for the black lanterns (and the leaders of the groups, minus green) until the last couple of gl(c) issues

i may as well sum up what's happenin

Atro is currently busy lookin for the other entities

Sodam Yat got pulled out of the sun by a (possibly renegade) old time guardian who first pulled Ion out of him and captured him

remember Parallax disappeared? that guy did it

Yep. It's a pretty big change in the characters. Most of all, in Atrocitus. Now we sympathize with him, instead of seeing him as a savage murderer, who wants to kill every single guardian. BUT, before making any conclusion, I'm going to wait to see what's that plot thing, between Atrocitus, Ganthet, and Gardner.

More characters in GL?
We already have a lot of new characters from "Blackest Night", "The War Of Light", "Brightest Day", etc.
Now we have a host for Adara, The Buthcher, The Predator...c'mon!

Fans have been clamoring for explanations of the entities for a couple of years now. We get an entire arc about it and readers like you still bitch.

I'm not "bitching" about that. I'm saying that there are other things to develop before introducing even more new characters.

[Doc2814 Anti-Monitor Find all posts View Profile Close Doc2814]

What else needs developing? They tied most if it up in a pretty little bow after Blackest Night. There is a truce. Atrocitus still hates anything Oan but is willing to maintain the peace for now. The Entities are an important cog to THE Entity.

Sinestro is a still mass murderer, who is roaming the Earth...And I'm supposed to believe that finding the White Entity is more important than KILLING(which is what the Guardians ORDERED him to do) Sinestro? Why the fuck does he really care about the White Entity? He's supposed to be protecting his sector not on a journey to find an Entity that has very little relevance to him. Why is a truce needed with ANY of these "New Guardians"? There are no Black Lanterns threatening each others' home planets. Larfleeze is allowed to roam Earth? WTF?! Hal Jordan should be detained by the Alpha Lanterns for being a shit protector. He's bringing more shit to his planet(and sector) than any other sector combined. For crying out loud, SAINT WALKER is still on Earth. Thanks for helping with the cleanup buddy, now could you tell me why you're still here? Your "Corps" doesn't even have a Guardian!

I'm not saying that these silly entities don't deserve to be revealed, but there are gaping holes in this story and we're already headed towards the next big villain story. If Geoff Johns wants to be the master of GL continuity, then maybe he should keep track of the shit he does. I don't want to have to wait 3 years to see these things addressed. Most of it could taken care of with the first issue out of Blackest Night instead of rehashing what was in Brightest Day....

Explore? everything is set on earth by the sounds of it, here we have one of the few comic books that has the entire universe to play with, yet everything happens on earth.

Yeah new characters dont make a story crap, but you dont need them to make it good either, I cant even remember the other Blue Lanterns apart from the elephant man and walker theirs plenty of things for them to get into right there alone.

Sodam Yat got pulled out of the sun by a (possibly renegade) old time guardian who first pulled Ion out of him and captured him

Thank the Heveans Sodam Yat has been set free now he can be useless outside the sun too, especially since he lost the only thing that made his character interesting, atleast to me.

Thanks for the other added info.

Fans have been clamoring for explanations of the entities for a couple of years now

You know what, I dont care about them, never have, im way more interested in the leaders of the corps, parrallax was fun in rebirth, ok in SCW and then got old in BN, hopefully BD is going to end with them all dying apart from Ion, but if Ion has to go as well it wouldnt bug me too much, doubt their could be a 3rd torchbearer anyway, that angle has run its course I think.

I mean character development.

For sure, and the character that needs it the most imo is Hal Jordon, he has become quite a boring character.

Sinestro is a still mass murderer

Not only that but his character got no redemption in BN, like most people thought he would, he failed using the white light and it was upto Hal and friends to do the job.

I don't want to have to wait 3 years to see these things addressed

Yeah that was one of the reason I stopped reading it, another 3 years in an event every year is too much for me, I just want a good standalone story or arc that last 12 or less issues.

Imagine if this guy collecting the enties is not revealed till 3 years later like Nekron.

Or like Nekron someone else is watching him fail, only for them to come out shadows and say, "ha Nekron and Guardian "X" thought they were the answer to the universe, but really its me, and now its my time"

Sinestro..u know how he was so sure that it was his destiny to finish what Abin Sur started, and then it got pulled away from him effortlessly, maybe he's tryin to figure out why he fucked up by findin that entity

he still has that ego



EDIT

still there are holes, geoff leaves a lil too much for us to guess/interpret ourselves (well other writers do too but in a different way)

That said, I'm looking forward to some normal Green Lantern stories; I'm enjoyed Blackest Night and am giving Brightest Day an honest try, but I'm ready for the mythology building to slow down. I'm curious if Johns is capable of telling some smaller, self-contained Hal stories.

GLC and Emerald Warriors both look awesome. I'm more interested in the plot threads of both of those titles than I am in regular 'ole Green Lantern.

Considering Johns WANTS an annual Crisis event I'm not sure he's capable of that either. I wouldn't be surprised if Johns himself knows if he's capable of writing smaller non-Crisis events or not.

[JohnMc Weaponer of Qward Find all posts View Profile Close JohnMc]

I donīt see them sticking around for much longer if Legion of Three Worlds is any indication.

Iīm curious about having a non sane Red Lantern as a character tho. Will they give her actual lines?

I wouldn't be surprised if she's saner than they have let on thus far.
