DC Comic of the Week: Green Lantern Corps #5


This week I want to go over and cover the newest Green Lantern Corps #5. The series has been pretty kick-ass so far. I have to admit I haven't read a great deal of DC titles going into the New 52 and although GLC is one of the few titles not effected by Flashpoint I was able to jump right into it and enjoy the hell out of it so far. One of my favorite things that has been going on with the New 52 books in DC is that a lot of these titles are introducing new villains and not just reintroducing old ones in a new way. These Keepers that are in the books are really whipping the GLC's ass something serious.

SPOILERS!!!

In issue five Guy Gardener gets together a bunch of Green Lanterns after an "enhanced interrogation" of a Keeper prisoner. The Green Lanterns are the ones we saw from the first five issues. Guy also recruits a group of certified bad ass Lanterns to go in shoot first and ask questions later. They remind me of the elite force that doesn't get sent in unless things are really ugly and the soldiers need to do some dirty work. I guess I could reference something like "The Expendables" as a direct comparison of the type of Lanterns that get sent in to clean house.

These Lanterns suggest using a "Fear Bomb" and guns. The Fear Bomb is two Sinestro Corps Lanterns named Fat Man and Little Boy. The history fan in me had to laugh inside and if for some reason you slept through all of history in school Fat Man and Little Boy are the names of the nuclear bombs dropped during WWII. So obviously this Fear Bomb is going to be some wicked shit that gets dropped on the Keepers. Then since the Keepers are mostly immune to the green power ring the Lanterns attack a pirate ship in space and raid it for all of the extremely heavy artillery on board to open up a can on the Keepers.

I give this a 2 thumbs up and definitely recommend for purchase and reading. Be on the look out and if you want to catch up now is the time, come February issue 6 of most DC titles will be a conclusion of whatever arch is occurring and some major crap is going down.

My Take On SOPA and PIPA...It's BAD folks (please read)

For those of you who don't already know, there are two new pieces of legislation that are currently moving through congress with the sole purpose of censoring the internet in order to stop the piracy of movies and music.

Lets take it back a step and slow it down shall we...SOPA (stop online piracy act) and PIPA (Protect-IP Act) is what these bills stand for. Basically in laymans terms this means that any website, any website at all that you can upload to (i.e. wikipedia, youtube, google, facebook, and even this one!) will be censored. And when I say censored I mean shut down. There will quite possibly not be much of an internet to go back to if these two pieces of legislation passes.

So please take out a few minutes to follow the link below and write your local senator to try and stop these vile bills from passing. While I am confident that these two bills will not pass, you can never be too safe. In the words of V for Vendetta "Governments should be afraid of their people, not the other way around!"

P.S. I would be shut down for quoting that because its not originally mine. (Just a thought)
