That blurb makes no sense.

only 5 minutes in...
Why would Black Hand be eating if he's dead?

No, it makes sense. This is episode 140. The last one we put out was 138. Episode 139 requires more time. So until then, 140 goes up with July books. Which works out slightly better anyway since we're already in September.

Ah, ok. Didn't even notice.


Now I wish I could remember what 139 was about :p

I agree with you guys about Red Lanterns. This issue was a tough read and it was the first time I really thought it could be cancelled and I wouldn't care. The only thing I was really hanging on to was the way Ed Benes drew Bleez and now that's gone I don't know what's left here.

Green Lantern #11...I loved how this issue echoed GL #43(?) when Black Hand first becomes the Death Entity. Loving Mahnke on this. The marriage pic of Sinestro and Arin was awesome...and I think he had that pic backed up on an emergency drive somewhere...dang it Jim beat me to it.

LOL, Chad didn't you hear? The Hand Morgue was rebuilt during the New 52 reboot... Manhunters- Do you guys think Johns is doing a call back to his earlier story arc with the Manhunters having blood running through their systems? Atrocitus plus Manhunters plus blood equals? (And I read about that somewhere so I can't take credit for it).

Really pass on GL #11? Come on guys!!!

Choanata's plans definitely involve changing a lot of dirty diapers! Also the sleep deprivation definitely puts a halt on any extracurricular activities in the short term. I'm 5 weeks in already and hard to find time to listen to your podcasts! Just kidding there's always time, the baby's diaper can wait. Ha!

LOL it gets worse when they can walk and talk...

One more thought on that Red Lanterns issue...could those shackles have been constructs that they just didn't color right?



One more one more thought on that Red Lanterns issue...looking back on it, the whole point was that Fatality and Bleeze "really aren't that different after all"



...that's the only way the panel with Zox not being able to tell them apart makes any sense. Setting up that line for Zox is the entire reason for that stupid dome to exist, and it works with their fight-conversation.

Dang it I had that in notes to post...

Red Lanterns #11- Didn't they end last issue with the RL nearing Zamaron?
Admittedly the Blood sharing was kind of "meh"...but I'm digging the art.

As for Abysmuss...he's an alien! Maybe in his eyes he looks like Brad Pitt.
Fatality stutters because she choked on some spit...look carefully!

Why can't the harnesses be constructs? And maybe they're keeping the prisoners in a secluded area?

Milligan had his work cut for him. He only had Atrocitus to work with, then he had to build the rest of the Corps up to characters we could care about. It could have been done but he didn't pull it off. Aside from the Sinestro Corps this was the Corps that I wanted to know more about.


New Guardians- Did the native Zamaron's use their powers to send Fatality?
Jim don't blame Kyle for prioritiziing his priorities. He can't pick a fight with Weaponer while dealing with Larfleeze and Invictus.
