I did it! Over the last 10 months I’ve listened to every episode of the Lanterncast! and followed along with the trades from Rebirth through the current issues of the New 52. I walked into a comic book store last summer (after a long, long hiatus from comics) and asked what a good jumping on point would be for Green Lantern. I was told the Geoff Johns run is great so I picked up Rebirth and Recharge and I haven’t looked back. Because I am a newbie to Green Lantern I think the Lanterncast! stands out from others because your knowledge and history of Green Lantern is second to none.
The opening episodes were great as the podcast got up and running and specifically the commentary through Blackest Night was stellar. Dan’s solo project through Mosaic was excellent and some of my favourite episodes were the Showcase issues because they were absolutely hilarious.
The addition of Chad has been terrific too especially with the Larfleeze reports. Chad reminds me of the “Jason Newsted” of the group, being a great addition to the team but will always be considered the “new guy” by the founders Lanterncast! founders Jim and Dan which is actually good because it adds fun banter between the three of you.
But specifically the episode that rises to the top is episode #67 titled “Jim’s Drunk!” This episode had me laughing all the way through and maybe because it reminded me of many drunken nights I’ve had in the past. Maybe we’ll be treated to another drunk episode before a new arrival to Jim’s family in October??
I even followed along with the “First Flight” commentary which I think you should do more of in the future for sure. I also enjoy the reviews of old miniseries like “Ganthet’s Tale” and “Guy Gardner: CD” (even the terrible miniseries need to be reviewed for what they are because the episodes are actually quite entertaining).
Dan, glad you decided to come back from your break in 2010 or else we might not have got the Mosaic series. Chad, keep up the good work with the Larfleeze reports.
Also, great job by James, Corwin, Jason and others that have contributed too.
That’s enough of my babbling, I just wanted to give you guys a shoutout for your great work and keep it up.
