Stir the Pot Saturday: Week 17

By Jeff Hill Features 04/27/2013

Welcome back, everyone! Just a quick reminder of what our goal for each and every Saturday is: Stirring the pot is the act of causing trouble for the sake of your own amusement. So we here at Comic Booked would like to formally invite you to discuss, debate, and start some shit talkin’ about the characters, the creators, and the storylines given to us from the industry we all know and love, hate, and love to hate. So let’s quit wasting time and start the mud (or web) slinging!

This Saturday’s question: Who is your favorite Green Lantern?

Is the Pre-New 52 Alan Scott your favorite Sentinel of the Green Flame? Do you fancy yourself a Kyle Rayner fan? Have you always been a staunch John Stewart supporter? Is Hal Jordan the only G. L. for you? Is it another Corps member, such as Tomar Re, Guy Gardner, Abin Sur, Kilowog, Sinestro, Jade, or even Ch’p, who will always hold the torch for you? Or do you wish Hal Jordan would go crazy again and just kill them all and then fly into the sun?

So go forth and debate! But be sure to back up your responses. Don’t be scared. And don’t give up. After all, no one likes a quitter. And you’re not a quitter, are you?

I was always kind of a Kyle fan until about 10 years ago when a special Lantern made his one and only appearance:

Duck Dodgers.

Human: Guy Gardner.

Non-human: Isamot Kol and Vath Sarn. Star-crossed enemies that become friends. Great buddy relationship. Also, Mogo. Mogo is a gigantic badass.

The various Lanterns from the "Circle of Fire" miniseries were a nice touch. Especially the one (the book is somewhere in my collection – cannot remember her name) that is a descendant of both a Lantern and a Flash and can only use one power at a time.

Kyle was my generation's GL. I have to admit, though… I loved Hal as a bad guy. He was so crazy and yet… So right. Sigh…

At this point, that might be a good plan. Alas, instead of cancelling a few GL titles, they're adding one. Bad move, DC. Bad move.

I always have had a love/hate relationship with Guy. He's the type of Lantern I'd like to hang out with if he was real, but I would also probably punch him in the face frequently. Haha.

Oh, yeah! Those were pretty fun. Thanks for reminding me about that mini-event!

My vote goes to Hal. I really enjoy him as a Green Lantern and even liked him as the Spectre… But I have to admit. He was and will always be my favorite when he was Parallax.

I flip back and forth from Guy to Hal. Just depends really. Recently I have been really interested in Simon as a Green Lantern, especially after his future fortelling in the mega Green Lantern #20.
