Personally I hate the idea of them recruiting outside help. It totally demeans the GLC.

violet, sorry...

in fairness though, the sinestro corps did it, so why shouldnt the GLC? 😬

i dont think it demeans them, because i think its going to come down to hal and the guys facing off against sinestro and kyle... even if the likes of supes and bats did help, i think it'd go the way of rebirth with the actual gl's being the deciding factor...

Sorry, I just hate the idea. The GL's get so little chance to show off what they can really do and people want to throw that down the drain so Superman can even more facetime? Isn't that the exact thing people whined about during Crisis?

They didn't recruit outside help. The GLC took responsibility for Superboy Prime and Cyborg Superman. It's their problem. Kyle is also a GLC problem. Now if they recruited Zoom or Joker, that'd be something.

what about the anti monitor? 😛 and prime is basically a superman from another earth... it was two superman's who took him down at the end of crisis...

Superman and the gang didn't help at all in Rebirth. They stood around and sometimes got in the way.

thats what i meant...

The Lanterns didn't need their help then and they don't need it now.

so you're saying hal and the rest of the glc will be able to beat the sinestro corps with the personnel both sides have?

i dont think its about facetime, i just think it'd be cool to see a bunch of heroes use gl rings... i mean, i'm curious as hell to see what kind of constructs superman or batman would create...

even if they were used, the stars of the show would still need to be hal and the gl's, i'm not arguing that point at all...

it's a gl vehichle, and it looks like being a damn good one... as long as that continues, i'll be happy, with or without superman and the like...

Earth's heroes would be rookie Lanterns who would need training just to overcome the yellow weakness. It would be the biggest crock of shit ever if Batman could suddenly put on a ring and then hold his own with any Sin Corps member. Not saying it wouldn't be cool to see, just that it isn't needed.

i don't think it's necessarily THAT simple, at least in dc...

It's not a Vs. forum fight. Heroes overcome the odds all the times in a comics. Quite frankly all they need is for the Guardians to get off their asses and it already seems Ganthet is making plans.

well thats what i was sort of saying... the gl's wouldnt win in a straight up fight, right?

they'd need some other solution...

You'll see a ton of heroes using GL rings. 7,200 to be precise. 😄

😂 nobody said the gl's weren't heroes... 😛

i don't know about that... i'm sure there are at least a few who would be decent with it...

but arent most of the sin corps rookies themselves? i mean, unless i missed something, amon sur has had what, a month or two?

i don't think its needed either, and as long as it stays out in space, fine, but if it hits earth (which probably won't happen given what hal said, but still), i'd expect to see alot of people turning up to face sinestro's corps...

Maybe but the other solution doesn't have to be to call Earth.

of course not, as you said, the guardians probably have something up their sleeve...

Most wouldn't even be able to use it since we know it takes a special kind of person. For the ones who can use it, theres no reason they should be better or more useful than the newbie Lanterns who were getting sniped by Bedovian in the Sin Corps special.

i don't think they'd be that bad, given how long some of them have been doing the hero thing... i'm not saying they'd be on the level of the big boys, but i don't think they'd be completely useless either...

Not necessarily. Sinestro has been putting this together since the end of Rebirth. That's at least 2 years in DCU time. At the very least, all of them have gone through the basic training just to be able get their rings to work.

i hadn't realised it'd been going that long, my bad...

I agree with you because the minute it comes to Earth, it ceases being a GL story and starts being a DCU story. Judging by what we know from previews, its taking place in the Anti Matter universe, Oa, and around Mogo so thank god for that.

ah, i hadnt seen that either...

Yeah, so uh....w00t?

indeed...

actually, any word on whether there'll be a new artist on green lantern soon? i thought ivan reis' work was great, but the guy who's been doing it recently, can't say i'm a fan...

Ivan Reis is the regular artist. Daniel Acuna was just a fill in.

I really like Acuna. He's not as good as Reis but not many artists are. Reis can be the next Jim Lee as far as popularity goes.

Especially with his covers for Countdown.

i just don't like acuna's style, though i guess i can see why some people like it...

reis is up there with benes and churchill imo, if not better...

btw, in the last countdown, on that DC Nation page at the back, there was a reference to Sinestro's upcoming visit to Earth... so can we assume from that the Sin Corps will hit earth? or is it referring to something else?

Sinestro is going to wreck New York City but thats a different storyline from this. I believe it's way later in Countdown.

You would think he would go after Coast City, rather than New York. 😬

But since they just rebuilt that I guess that wouldn't make sense

And Metropolis has been destroyed about 100x now. Gotham had that earthquake a couple of years ago, and Washington DC just got torn apart by Amazons.

I say he attacks Seattle, just because nobody would care

Isn't CoastCity basicly empty right now?

Besides thats cliche for a GL foe.
