Or – “Glow-In-The Dark Dinosaurs On Parade!” A couple of years ago when Geoff Johns began revealing the various OTHER colored Lantern Corps, I had a niggling worry in the back of my head that it would all get silly and overblown and ridiculous with that many different characters and colors and powers in play. Now, as Krona prepares to capture all the inflatable dino-bugs that represent the seven spectrums, part of me just wants to laugh at the silliness of it all. Does this issue have the wherewithal to overcome the inherent goofiness of it’s source material?

Warner Home Video sent Major Spoilers a new image from the upcoming direct-to-DVD animated movie, Green Lantern: Emerald Knights.

The days where Optimus Prime might meet up with Spider-Man or Pete Venkman and Jim Kirk might take down the same undead freak were still decades in the future. Still, in the late 70’s, the vagaries of fate and publishing contracts…
Or – “In Memoriam.” There has been a lot made of the fact that members of the Justice League International tend to get killed, maimed, brutalized and otherwise smacked around in the recent years of the DC Universe, and while I admit that this is the case, I don’t suspect that there’s any sort of real malice involved. I suspect that it’s more of a “Let’s Serious This Character Up” going on, which these days means throw in a beating or kill off a buddy for ratings. Either way, as one of the last survivors of JLI/JLE, Power Girl has…
