Being a GL Universe newbie, do you think BK will be a good stepping on point or would it be too confusing?

I'm also wondering which comics it will be spread across.

kthx

If the Blackest Night is done correctly they should hopefully catch you up on all you need to know in the first issue. If not, you should try picking up the Agent Orange story in GL, the last few issues of GLC and maybe the GLC: Sins of the Star Sapphires trade.

Blackest Night will be its own mini series and will go through GL, GLC, and a few other mini series created for Blackest Night. I won't be buying all of it cause it's too damn much.

Hope that helps StevieEvs.

why isnt hal jordan an alpha latern? isnt he suppposed to be the best green latern EVER!

or his one his buddys?

[comicculturewarrior]

Alpha Lanterns are Green Lanterns who have been surgically modified. They don't need to recharge their rings because hey have a power battery implanted in their chests. Alpha Lanterns are a hybrid of Green Lanterns and Manhunters.

I can't believe I know this shit.

jose, can you tell me what was going on at the end of that green lantern corps issue? i dont know everything in the GL universe so if you can explain it to me that would be great. thanks.

I'm looking through it again right now and to tell you the truth I am a little confused by the last page myself. Is that what you meant?

@comicculturewarrior - Jose, you mentioned that you aren't a fan of Ivan Reis. I think he is one of the BEST in the business right now, but everyone is entitled to their own opinions.

I was just hoping you could explain to me why you don't like his work.

Thanks and Happy New Year to you and Elliott!

I look in some of Alan Davis's art and their style isn't even the same.

[saar1707]

read GL and GLC first.

[saar1707]

You are a pro! LOL

[pobra17]

i thought you guys were opposed to GL in general, but i guess that's just Elliott. Any reason in particular? I get that Jose isn't feeling the creative team on GL, which is cool, but GLC is so good, i can't accept that you are not reading it E, I just can't.

[pobra17]

i totally agree saar.

[generaldark]

yes that is what i meant. i assume it just shows us that blackest night is getting nearer.

It would make sense, but then Hal would be too powerful. The thing about comics is the more powerful the hero the less believable the challenge. If Hal was an alpha he wouldn't be in nearly as much danger, and that doesn't sell comics.
