If Superman was the green lantern!

Started by "V"4 pages

Well you see I went to the local comic store and picked up all of the books I wanted and accidently picked it up, there was a huge queue and when the check out dude went through all of them I saw it there, I was quite embaressed actually. just because it's quite the girly book (seemingly so, it's about a teenage girl), but I couldnt be bothered to take it back and queue again, it was only a few quid so I just bought it.

Was suprisingly good, hooked since then.

lol, ok, i'll believe it... but i hope you're balancing it out with some really manly comics...

JLA as in Justice League of America as in the highest selling comic(s) of Dec. & Aug. 06? And second only to Civil War in the months between? 😕

1 Justice League of America 4 136,700
2 Justice League of America 5 132,500

Or are we referring to JLA Classified or something?

no, actual jla...

two of them were out in december though... that wouldnt have hurt either...

i'd look, but with dialup those sites can take an eternity to load...

I'd presume you're looking at Jan. 07 sales figures for JLA #5.

I wouldn't read him.

Their flagship character is overpowered as it is.

You hit the nail on the head. Superman would also suck more than he already does.

I think this is very true. Although Tvo evens things up for Superman.

At least in the case of the magic users, they usually have a ton of experience in the astral plane anyway.

Does Superman use T-vo anymore?

If Superman was the green lantern...we would have to deal with a more piss filled character than usual.

On other points, I wouldn't really call Marvel nearly as commercialized as DC, walk around a regular store, tell me what you see more of...Batman and Superman or Spider-Man and Wolverine. I can't walk anywhere these days without seeing a Superman symbol somewhere.

Dc does better with their more top teirs I think, because well thats what they have always done, but as far as the lower street leveler category, Marvel has them in strides and like it or not, the street leveler area category is what sells the most. Its the Daredevil, Iron Fist, Moon Knight, Cap, Wolverine, etc that make the money for marvel.

Green Lantern would still lose a whole lot.
