I just think it's rather odd that a nation that prides itself on its virility should feel compelled to strap on forty pounds of protective gear just in order to play rugby.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Miniseries or continuing?

It's a miniseries. The dialog is good, and some of the charcters are fun. Green Arrow and Flash seem a little out of place, but then, they're also being played that way, so it's cool.

Also, I'm certain they do. I'm willing to bet he pencils over design schematics to assure himself corners to lurk in.

Oh, and Matt,I see your point, although I think they're hand waving a couple old stories away. Mocker? Who's that? And when was Dr. Light there? As for the rest, it's obvious Parallax's influence was starting early, but even so, I think we've only gotten part of the story, as evidenced by Sinestro's arrival. And I, for one, am happy to have an even ALMOST satisfying reason for the ring to not work on yellow...

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Victor, the Dr. Light thing happened not that long before Hal went ballistic. Light had become sentient incorporeal light, and attacked Hal's family at Christmas (via an animated string of Christmas tree lights, no less!). Hal zapped him into his lantern, and thence to Oa. I agree with you about the reason for the yellow impurity, and also think it's nice to have a halfway sensical explanation for what Green Lantern energy actually is. I'd previously seen stories saying that the Guardians drained supernovas to power the battery up (insufficient for what we've seen the Guardians and the Corps as a whole capable of doing), or that it was their own focused mental energies (wouldn't explain why Guardians themselves get weaker if they're away from Oa for an extended period, or the wacky yellow limitation).

Yeah, I'm thinking a few GL stories from back then will be handwaved away. Such is life with the spandex set.

No other candidate is asking the hard questions, like "Did geophysicists assassinate Jim Henson?" or "Why is there hydrogen in America's water supply?" --defective yeti

I ran across a snarky comic remix of Identity Crisis #3. The funny thing is I never read Identity Crisis, so I didn't know what I'd been linked to until he touched on an event that you guys had complained about upthread. It was funny even not knowing the source. He also did a couple pages of Wolverine goes to Japan.

I just got the hardback 1602 for Christmas, and it's freaking brilliant, of course. Anyone else read this bit of Gaiman-penned Marvel goodness?

Just about everybody here, I think. Most folks were a little disappointed in the ending, though enjoyed the run of it quite a bit.

I never really have read any Marvel comics, so it didn't strike *me* as all that splendid. I read it because it was by Neil Gaiman. t /fan girl

We did some fun read and posts, as I recall. It was pretty fascinating to watch the knowledgeable deconstruct it.

Call me an uber-dork, but I didn't realize that Teen Titans #19 was out today, until I saw the list. (I already knew that Batgirl [yay!] and Batman would be out today, but I thought TT was next week.)

I'm all excited, dork that I am.
