JL8 - Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman in Grade School

[Bird]

Those panels of Sinestro at the end are pretty much the perfect introduction to the character. I'm impressed by Yale on a regular basis.

[Coidzor]

I dunno, he seems pretty pink to me.

[Fragenstein]

I duuno. He seems like Vegeta to me.

[Anteros]

Now I am pondering a fight between the two. Thanks.

[Drascin]

If you can find it, her solo series from before the New 52, and her duo series with Huntress that started after the New 52 are both solid. I particularly liked the character pre-new 52 as a character that bucked the emo super hero trend and said "I can juggle sky scrapers, fly around the earth in less time then it takes to drive down the block, shoot lazers out of my eyes and take a nuke to the face with out it messing up my hair. How is that NOT awesome?!!!"

The first... twelve or so?... issues of Karen's solo, with Conner and Palmiotti writing and Atlee as sidekick, were really pretty good when I read them, IIRC.

Things... went a bit offtrack afterwards.

[Fjolnir]

New Comic, Probably the most impressive one so far.

[Janus]

Dang it, I wish my Scout troops had been more like that!

[elros]

One of the best renditions of the Green Lantern oath I have seen. Most of the time I think it is done poorly, but I actually like how Yale did it. Another good job!

[CarpeGuitarrem]

Heh. I'm not very familiar with DC, so I had to look it up, but this comic marks the first time I Googled a JL8 reference. Rather clever hat-tip.

Debatable. She had a lot of enjoyable runs there after before the series got scrapped and she go re-invented.

Also, as an Aside, while there totally different characters now, I like the current Powergirl and Huntress run in as far as what I've read of it.

[elros]

Another great update! I don't know what I like more- Adam Scott calling Sinestro "Thaal," Sinestro's temper tantrum, or Barry's candy ring.

[Sholos]

J'onn has a black ring. J'onn. Has a black ring. J'onn... HAS A BLACK RING!!

[PhantomFox]

J'onn has a black ring. J'onn. Has a black ring. J'onn... HAS A BLACK RING!!

Not knowing much about Sinestro what are the odds of him stealing it?

[Drascin]

None, really.

The Black Lantern Corps are basically zombified heroes and villains that happened in a big event. Since J'onn was dead at the moment he was one of the Black Lanterns, hence the reference.

Sinestro instead went on to found the Yellow Lanters, or Sinestro Corps (yes, Thaal has never been much for modesty), based on the emotion of fear.

[Dusk Eclipse]

Is it bad that now I want to see the rest of the lantern corps?

[Lord Raziere]

heh, blue lantern would fit The Flash. its emotion is hope, and Barry is nothing if not full of it...the guy can make heart the most awesome power ever if given the chance.

[Reverent-One]

Yeah, he actually was a Blue Latern during the Blackest Night event.

[Metahuman1]

Yeah, he actually was a Blue Latern during the Blackest Night event.

Yeah, this. Hence why this latest strip is easily just as awesome as the oath.

[Coidzor]

Sinestro is an internet troll?

[annamclean]

Hey! did superman use to wear his costume in Grade school, if not but i wear because i want to look like superman anyone is here like me who can do it....

[elros]

Awww, poor J'onn. He's trying to fit in but Hal unknowingly dissed him for bringing a flashlight. Let's hope they end up needing it.

[Coidzor]

Can't J'onn just see in the dark? So the only person who'd need it would be Barry? Except can't he move fast enough to give off light himself as well?

[Metahuman1]

Um, giving off light would probably risk lighting the forest on fire. It would also require them to think of it.

J'onn is just not inclined to that kind of thought pattern, neither is John in all probability.

Sinestro won't mention it cause humor/doesn't wanna risk being blamed if things go badly.

Hal and Guy and Barry are probably not sharp enough to think of it.

[OrchestraHc]

Barry's a blue lantern alright, because that is the most hopeful thing I've ever read.

[elros]

Exactly what I was thinking. Yale once again does a great job of presenting DC characters and their personalities.

[The Glyphstone]

Also shows that he's smarter than he acts - he zeroed right in on the exact bait that would make Thaal want to come along, and delivered the hook.

[Dusk Eclipse]

I'm not trying to say Yale is a bad writer (because he is a very talented one), but Blue Lantern Barry first appeared in Blackest Night (2009-2010)

[The Glyphstone]

I think that is the point. We know Adult Barry becomes a Blue Lantern in the main continuity. Elros is saying that Yale is demonstrating this facet of Adult Barry's personality in 8-year old Barry very effectively.

[Dusk Eclipse]

Oh I see, nevermind my post then.

[Grif]

I like how JL8 is actively pushing me to read the more obscure parts of the DC mythos.
