At $7.99 no. That's alot for a character that nobody's ever heard of. If it was at $2.99 or whatever the average price is now then people would have given it a chance.

I would have given it a chance if it was reasonably priced and the existing GLs were all placed somewhere. Guy, Kyle and Baz are still unaccounted for. The last time we saw Guy was in Doomsday Clock when Dr. Manhattan destroyed his ring. I guess we're supposed to believe he's been left powerless.

That 3 part mini series really took a hit for the GL line. I'm curious to how well the new #1 did in light of it being revealed it is now only going to be an 8 issue run before the 5G debacle replaces it.

This all seems like it's in flux now. With Didio gone, will DC still go through with 5G, and will it be the same if they do? Are they going to make it mesh with Doomsday Clock eventually? Who knows.

Are you talking about Far Sector? 'Cause it's a $3.99 book, which is basically the standard price for comics now.

Wow, Far Sector is down there, will it make it to twelve?

Seems like there was more interest in the book, especially number one.

Green Lantern: Legacy was the 9th best selling graphic novel for January.

*cue the butthurt*

Hmmm, a kid version of GL actually working.... that's interesting. Between Legacy and the Teen Lantern in Young Justice I'd take the Legacy version hands down.

I generally don't care for teen characters, but this one was an exception. It was not only a good entry point story, which GL desperately needed, it was a tight story overall. I think we're going to see more of these types of novels for GL since DC can tell this type of story without worrying about continuity with the main book(s).

Too diluted now to be a household name anymore. The GL franchise honestly never needed ANY more than three human characters. Hal, John and one more. I would prefer Guy, but I can see in this day and age one of them needs to be a gay woman of color just to cover all the bases. Do that and let all the rest of them fade away. If it even matters at this point. We are probably in the last 2 years of Green Lantern comics even being published.

The only way I could envision that happening is if DC goes under. What do they have that's definitely working better than GL? Batman, Harley, Superman, and Wonder Woman. Even Flash is debatable. With new publishing styles like the novel style of Legacy, there is some evidence of DC using different formats for their stories, but DC Comics being like an 8 title per month company? That seems highly unlikely.

The numbers are right up there. Read them and weep. Odyssey and Far Sector both sold a dreadful 17K copies last month. You can't spin that as doing anything but making the Green Lantern property look weak. I know you don't care and just want to see Jessica Cruz everywhere, including in the funny papers, but it's not about you. It's about those numbers.

Besides, DC won't sell once less Jessica doll if she's not in the comics. Little kids can't afford comics. They watch television.

Yes, it is about the numbers, and I'm not sure what numbers you're seeing. DC's premiere super hero group is selling less than 50K, which puts them behind several X-Men titles. Green Lantern's main title, despite being solid and a personal favorite, bled readership until it was barely 40K copies sold, and Blackstars 3rd issue couldn't even top 30K. None of that backs up the idea that GL's printed stories are unstoppable juggernauts that are being hurt by newer characters. In fact, combine Far Sector and Odyssey, and they outsold Blackstars last month, despite being properties that aren't designed to be ongoing.

Moreover, I have no earthly idea where you got this notion that I just want to "see Jessica everywhere" at the expense of the Green Lantern property. That is the exact opposite of everything that I've ever posted. I'm a *GREEN LANTERN* fan, which means that I'm behind any part of the mythos that increases the GLC's visibility in a world inundated with multimedia super hero content. The *facts* are that GL's current title is a deep-dive story that couldn't and didn't appeal to everyone, as is evidenced by the numbers. Green Lantern needs new readership (ALL comics need this to survive) and stories like Far Sector and Legacy were designed to give new readers different entry points. Green Lantern fans should be thankful for any exposure that the property gets in print, animation, live-action, and collectibles. All of that helps the Green Lantern property survive.

[Trey Strain]

Exactly how are they hurting GL outside of telling a story in a way that you wouldn't? In a time when Justice League can't sell 50K copies and Hal's latest tale fell under 30K copies, you really want to cut off avenues of exposure? You really want DC to sell less product?
