OH MY FREAKING GOD! CARTHAG, YOU BASTARD! I was hating this issue because of the suspence and build up you created, because I just heard this voice in the back of my head goign "Crisis Crisis Crisis Crisis Crisis" and WOWZA you sure didn't fail me Scott! I'm here for the next issue, and I'm here for CRISIS! THE APOKOLIPS IMPERATIVE!

Another excellent crisis lead-in-this is gonna be one exciting event!
Some shocking developments this issue as well. The Central Power Battery destroyed by an Apokoliptian Lantern (even if it was involuntary). What will that mean for the Corps? Are we looking at the annihilation of the GLC? A plot by Darkseid to weaken the Corps making his invasion easier? Hmmm...
Poor Hal. Why is it the ladies always go for the superhero instead of the guy underneath the tights? I don't think this is all there's gonna be between Hal and Ms. Ferris. Just a feeling.
If I remember correctly this title will become just Green Lantern. What will the differences be since this title mainly focused on Hal anyway? Keep up the great work.

What will the differences be since this title mainly focused on Hal anyway? Keep up the great work. The Manhunters have 2 goals for invading OA. I'm not telling why though! The story of Hal & Carol is far from over if they both survive the Crisis! Yes, you're right, the main focus was Hal, though it guest starred other GL's in almost every issue & Hal didn't appear (as an adult) until issue #3. Issues #0, #1 & #2 were setting the stage for his arrival. Then after that you had Kilowog and the gang there. So, the main difference in creating the new title, post Crisis, is that... well... that would be telling! You'll find out next issue.

LL, you really swung for the fences on this one--- and knocked it out of the ballpark!
This issue had it all: action, suspense, comedy, drama, thrills, mystery and what a surprise ending (I knew Carthag was gonna be trouble)!
So many memorable scenes (Hal with flowers on Carol Ferris' doorstep, Dr. Polaris attitude with the police, the fate of Hal's car, Kilowog and Katma heading for G'newt, the choosing of a new GL on Jayd, Carthag and the Central Power Battery!), but I have to say the one I liked the best--- the one that set my hairs on end--- was when Katma poked around that abandoned lab on Orinda; I was sure something was gonna jump up at her (like in a horror movie when the suspense music builds)--- and then she finds that sinister "artifact"! Worse than Jason, Freddy or Leatherface!
This is setting up a cool new status quo for the GLC, as will be explored in Hal's forthcoming solo title, and the return of TGLC as a quarterly series, late in 2006.
Kudos!

WOW!!! Talk about riveting! It's actually gone! Destroyed! My jaw hit the floor! Characters were dead on, as always. Great action, great characterization, great story. Awesome ending. Best of the week! It really grabs you by the throat!

Nice. Very nice. A sign to things on the horizon for Jordan, and things are looking exciting! I think a bit of his banter is a little corny but then it wouldn't be a comic book. Looking forward to the next issue!

Thanks for the compliments guys! Yeah, even Hal feels that his banter is corny (I think he mentioned it when he was fighting the Tattooed Man). But he's a super-hero, if he just zapped the bad guys he'd be no better than... well, John on JLU. And I find his portrayal rather stale! As far as the future of Hal & the Corps... You guys have no idea... ;D <- Insert evil laugh! And a couple of winks for good measure:

I'm playing catch-up with the fics (I'm a month behind!) so I read #8 and 9 back-to-back. First off, the Legion Virus story didn't end the way I expected, namely Guy running off with a chip still on his shoulder -- I figured he'd keep the ring, but who knows what will follow with him now! And intesresting that Hel's ring has suddenly lost its yellow weakness... As for the second story...holy crap! Throw us into the deep end of the pool head-first, why don't you! You never let up, pulling us from one bad guy/explosion/unknown environment to the next...and it was great the whole way! On to IXE! ;D
