Tag Archive: Green Lantern


Since comics are big in the news recently (both with new films and renumbering of books), I thought this weekend I’d highlight some of the wonderfully funny bits done by the “I’m A Marvel/I’m A DC” folks from YouTube.

First up is their latest one, with Green Lantern talking with characters from the new X-Men prequel film:

It takes a while to sort out what happens each year at the San Diego Comic-Con. This year is no exception. At SciFiPulse.Net, Ian and I are still sifting through news items and videos from the big event.

Here’s how one reporter, rudie from anyclip.com, looked back at his con experience:

>>It’s Tuesday, I just got back from San Diego and Comic-Con. This was my first trip to Comic-Con and moreover, my first trip to San Diego. What a wonderful city! This city is the perfect mix of surf and pop culture. Everything in the downtown area is dedicated to Comic-Con and it’s fans. From the 70 degree weather to the smell of sea water, to the beautiful people of southern California to, of course, the beach; my experience in San Diego for Comic Con was magical, exciting and, by far, one of the nerdiest things I have ever done in my life.

Only bad writers.  Or at least, writers who don’t know what to do with the characters.

How many times have we seen comics characters go down in flames, even die, only to see them rise up again “because you demanded it?”

My favorite examples of this come from the DC Comics universe—Green Lantern, The Flash, and the Justice Society of America. (We’ll ignore Superman and Batman for the moment.)

It was about 20 or so years ago that the good folks at DC decided that nobody could write The Flash.  After all, he’s so incredibly fast that he could solve any problem as soon as it happened.  It was impossible to challenge him.  Or so we were told.

For fans of comics and genre-related television and films, this weekend is literally Christmas in July. Now, I’ve never been to the San Diego Comic-Con, but I hope to get there next year, if I’m at all lucky. I do understand it takes over a huge portion of the city, and trying to drive is a big mistake … better to use the local cabs and buses.

I do have a friend who has gone to Comic-Con several times, and he enjoys himself. He remembers when Comic-Con only dealt with … comics. Now it is a huge media event, with trailers and promos for upcoming film and television programs turning into big business. A good example of this was the first Iron Man film, which got a huge boost from word-of-mouth publicity, and that’s largely credited for making it a franchise for Marvel. Of course, others took notice of that, so there will be trailers and preview footage for Green Lantern from DC and Tron: Legacy from Disney as well as the upcoming Thor film for Marvel.
