I thought it was awesome when the Guardians put Ion into Sodam Yat, making him THE most powerful GL ever. And I can't wait for him to beat the crud out of Superman Prime in the next issue!!
I wasn't too excited about this, because I don't really know who Sodam Yat is as a character. I haven't been reading GLC (though I did just pick up the entire run up to Sinestro War for $0.50 and issue, so I need to catch up).

Oh, you're going to love it!! Sodam Yat was prophesized waaaaay back during the first Crisis in the mid 80's to be the most powerful GL to ever join the Corps. He's now fulfilled that prophecy. That's why I love Geoff Johns so much as a writer. He really does his homework and his writing is excellent.

Yat is a Daxamite, so he's basically Superman with a GL ring to the 10th degree because he carries Ion inside of him. And Yat doesn't have any of Superman's weaknesses because his ring shields him from lead poisoning and the effects of a red sun.

I guess the next Crisis could have Yat going crazy from the power.

Anyone know anything about the Alpha Lanterns? I read about them in the solicitations for January.

-----------------------------------
GREEN LANTERN #27

Written by Geoff Johns Art by Mike McKone and various Cover by Ivan Reis & Oclair Albert The build-up to FINAL CRISIS continues in Part 2 of 'The Alpha Lanterns'! In the aftermath of the Sinestro Corps War, a select few have been chosen to undergo a transformation that will leave them forever altered and forever committed to the Green Lantern Corps. But what other laws are the Guardians unleashing, and why do Hal Jordan and John Stewart want to stop them? Plus, a visit to Oa's Death Row! On sale January 23

----------------------------------

looks interesting.

Had a feeling the use of lethal force would start them on a slippery slope. Johns is too smart a writer to introduce something contrary to how the characters have worked for 40 years as just a 'yeah rad dude they Kill now' type of cheap thrill.

Is the Yat prophecy actually in Crises on Infinite Earths? I don't remember that at all..

Also, I heard mention that the idea of the prophecy is from an Alan Moore Abin Sur story. Anyone know what issue this is from? I wonder if I have them..

Thanks to Yngve Malmsten, we used to use the word "Yat" as a euphemism for Masturbation in High School. I've enjoyed the Sinestro War so far, but everytime they call this guy "the prophesied Yat," I have to remind myself it's his name.

I love that while spotlighting the Earth Lanterns and making them the centerpiece of the story, the other Lanterns aren't being ignored. Sodam Yat's development in this story has been amazing. Kilowog has been returned to the spotlight. And classic heroes like Stel, Green Man, Salaak, Arisia and Mogo have all played great parts in the story as well. This story has given me a lot of reasons to continue with the series after the story is concluded.

gl is just awesome in general

Bump.

Is Sinestro War still going?

I finally picked up the prologue issue and I loved it. At this point, I'll wait for the trades to come out, but is it still rocking?

stone384 · Post by **stone384** » Tue Nov 20, 2007 9:27 pm

yes it is still on. I just read Green Lantern #24, Green Lantern Corps 16,17 and the Cyborg, Superman Prime and Parallax specials all in one sitting the other night. Good stuff. Green Lantern #25 I believe is the finale. The issue has been delayed due to the extra size. Also Green Lantern Corps #18 is still coming with the Ion vs Superman Prime fight and I believe the Sinestro special was delayed and should be out soon. Green Lantern Corps 19 is an epilogue. I have read all the Green Lantern issues, but decided to skip the GLC book. I changed my mind and now trying to get #13-15, but they are getting big $$$ on the 'bay so the trades may be the cheapest way to go.

im happy i bought all of them for a buck from dcbs

Anyone read the last issue of this yesterday?

I thought it was awesome. This is some of the best super hero comic stuff I have seen in years. It had a good, real ending that was satisfying, but it opened the doors up for even more awesomeness in the future. Man, this stuff was really really good.

Highly recommended to any/everyone.
