Weekly Question 06/18/14 #LBHQuery
As will be the procedure going forward, all our weekly question will not be contained to the show or Twitter! We’re bringing it to the site!
Since the inception of Green Lantern, that was all there was. Sure, when things changed from the Golden Age to the Silver Age and from Alan Scott to Hal Jordan, they added thousands of new Lanterns, but all just one color: Green.
Then in 2006, that all changed:
After Sinestro was brought back by Geoff Johns as the main villain in Green Lantern’s universe, a second color Corps was added, Yellow in the widely successful Sinestro Corps War event.
Then another, and another and so on.
There was a Corps and rings for every color on the spectrum. Then we added the Black and White Lantern Corps with events to go along with them. All of these Corps had spanning rosters, tons of merchandising and cameos by the biggest and brightest in the DC Universe. This concept was so popular, when DC rebooted their entire line in 2011 with the New 52, outside of Batman, Green Lantern was the other property relatively unchanged.
And that’s the question to you: Who is your favorite ring bearer? Is it cookie cutter Hal as a Green Lantern? Is it the above the three panels when Batman was a member of the Sinestro Corps?
Just tweet us with your answer using the hash tag #LBHQuery. Don’t like or have Twitter? Need more room to explain your choice? Just leave a comment on this post!
We’ll compile up all the answers and talk about them on next week’s show!
I feel like someone saying Sinestro Corp Batman is their favorite ring bearer is like saying that Kingdom Come Flash is your favorite Flash. That being said, I do like Dex-Starr (though not my choice for favorite ring bearer). I think my favorite would have to be Guy Gardner. I feel that Guy’s stories always seem to showcase his personality better than Hal’s. Guy seems to have changed and matured the most.
Dex-Starr is a good dark horse candidate..
Mogo!
I’ve always loved Kiliwog training the Green Lanterns. He even managed to be the bright spot of the Green Lantern movie.
Mogo!
G’Nort!
Alan Scott – nothing beats a classic!
