DC Previews

Posted by Alan in Comics, Green Lantern

GL #24 PreviewThis week’s DC previews are now up at Newsarama. Looks to be a great week with GL #24 and Booster Gold #3.

I love the panels of Hal racing to his brother’s house to stop Parallax. Since Kyle’s shown in his new GL duds on the cover to the next issue, hopefully this week will see Kyle and Hal exorcising “the bug”.

Looks like Superman Prime might be getting some action in this issue as well. I’m really interested in his one-shot as there are a lot of questions under this character’s current direction. Although I can’t help but feel that his and the Anti-Monitor’s involvement in this storyline will end up as a tease towards Final Crisis.

Also of interest is this week’s Lying in the Gutters, which has a green-lighted rumour for the Red Lanterns making there first appearance in next month’s GL #25. I must admit, while excited to see how it plays out, I’m also concerned that the Green Lantern Corps itself is going to end up diluted by all these other Corps kicking around. Although given that Geoff Johns has said we’re only on part 2 of a 3-part event, I imagine by the end of it, we’ll be left with the GL Corps as a unique entity, at least in this universe.

Booster Gold looks great as well. I’m really enjoying this title so far, and the mystery regarding Supernova is hotting up. I must admit though, I find the idea of Daniel just using the suit to get really good at X-box Live, and possibly mucking up Booster’s ancestry as a result quite amusing :D

    Daniel is just so amusing. I’ve just read the preview pages of Booster Gold #3, and I have to say I’m bloody glad to see Daniel isn’t the nemesis in the series. He’s too damn amusing for it. He, unlike many heroes, had a practical use for the Supernova suit. xD

    I can’t wait to see the end of the Sinestro Corps War, I’m tiring of it now, to be honest. Although I felt the same way last month. Until I finally read that month’s Green Lantern and GL Corps. Then I was hyped on it again. I am dissipointed with the one-shots though. As much an insight to the characters as they are, they really don’t add that much to the story. And, just nitpicking here, in the Cyborg-Superman one-shot, his rings wrongly resembled Yellow Green Lantern rings, rather than Sinestro Corps rings, as they used the GL symbol. -_-;

    Booster Gold is brilliant so far. I love the references to the Dr 13 miniseries, and I really want to see their continuity more, as they are one of the bigger ‘mysteries’ of the DCU. Architects VS Anti-Monitor!

    Final Crisis

    Anti-Monitor- Now… My antimatter energies fill the voids left behind by their positive matter counterparts! My strength increases!

    Random Architects appear.

    Architect 1- No, no, that won’t do. The way you speak is just too corny.
    Architect 2- People just aren’t interested in that now, its too… two-dimensional.
    Architect 3- People want villains with bloody back stories, and shady histories.

    Anti-Monitor- I destroyed countless parallel Earths, how much more bloody can you get than that?

    Architect 1- Noo, it doesn’t matter how widespread it was, it matters how explicit and how morally upsetting it was.
    Acrhitect 2- Yes, you need more swearing.
    Architect 3- And a reason to destroy so much, you need to believe you’re in the right to add to the believability of your character. Perhaps… Your cosmic mother hated you and thats why you hate all of creation.

    Anti-Monitor- …Forget that, I’ll just go and destroy the Wildstorm multiverse. Theirs is bigger anyway.

    Architect 1- Nope, you can’t do that now.
    Architect 2- Yup, Wildstorm is part of our 52 Earth multiverse.

    Anti-Monitor- But.. they don’t have just one Earth. How can you explain the Authority’s carrier and all the other parallel Earths they have? …Forget it… I’ll just go to the Marvel-

    Architects- Do NOT speak of THAT!

    I’m not really tiring of the Corps War yet, although I will admit that the one-shots do have the feeling of something that’s been added last-minute to bulk-up a popular story. I am glad we’re over the halfway mark now though, especially since the rest of the DCU is marching on obvious to the huge cosmic bust-up (Kyle in Countdown mainly).

    At least its all self-contained though. DC of late have had an annoying habit of needing you to pick up numerous spin offs to figure out what’s going on. I tried to read the 7 issues of Infinite Crisis on their own, and it was just a mess.

    Really hope that we see more of Daniel once this first arc in Booster Gold is over. I’d hate for him to get sidelined. The idea of him, Booster and Rip teaming up really appeals to me after seeing them together in 52 #52.

    Still debating whether I’m going to pick up Green Arrow/Black Canary this week. I like Dinah, and Connor getting some headline time is nice. But the wedding fiasco has really turned me off (not to mention I really need to be pruning my pull list ;-) )

    Never actually read the Dr 13 stuff. Sounds like something I need to try and check out :-)

    Oh I would recommend it. The Dr 13 series had a good feeling to it, and it’s a fun read.
