Happenstance Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 Start with Green Lantern rebirth: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Green-Lantern-Rebirth-Geoff-Johns/dp/1848567650/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1308602411&sr=1-1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmac Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 Secret Origin isn't a bad point to start with either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReZourceman Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 Yeah I would say Secret Origin first, for a laugh. Then there is a good list I found somewhere. You could probably consider it a slow burner Peeps, but once you hit Sinestro Corps War, it gets amazing and better and better. http://www.archonia.com/comicshop/en/news/2011/5/26/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paj! Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 Both Secret Origin and Rebirth are the ones being peddled as good to start with at Waterstones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happenstance Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 Secret Origin is good but I think i'll always prefer Rebirth, its just a better story and showcases more characters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paj! Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 I was tempted. I assume Secret Origin is just a revamped origin for him? Yeah, I don't need that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReZourceman Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 WTF....you....Sercet Origin is brilliant. For the record, I wasn't looking forward to it at all when it started, but I really loved it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paj! Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 Yeah but I really don't care about Green Lantern. The only connection I have with the concept was because Kyle was the Lantern in the comics when I first started reading. And I read the 'animated' JLA comics (that were set in the Batman Animated universe, but before the JL cartoon was out...can't remember where these were first published, but I read them in Annuals.), and that's where I first found out about GL. So nostalgia means I have a soft spot for Kyle, sort of. Otherwise I'm over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan_Dare Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 John's lantern run has been spectacular, Paj. I really think you'd like it as it hits some pretty awesome vibes with massive scale science fiction themes. It's very cool, very unusual stuff. --- I'm reading Identity Crisis tonight. Fuck me rigid it's good. It's just bloody magnificent is what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReZourceman Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 There is a reason GL is DC's highest selling book. And don't reply, just deal with the facts, and drift away in a sea of Fanta. OH! And fuck all of you about Dynamo 5. I don't need you anymore. I was chatting with a friend today, and he asked me apart from Vince' which Image Super Heroe's have I read. I talked about Savage Dragon, then I was like "Dynamo 5 is amaaazzzing" and he was like "Yeah Dynamo 5 is brilliant, I just bought Sins of the Father". You can imagine my reaction.

Happenstance Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 I'm reading Identity Crisis tonight. Fuck me rigid it's good. It's just bloody magnificent is what it is. One of my favourite DC events. I know a lot of people complained that it just took the universe to a much darker place but it doesnt take away from the awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paj! Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 Buy it for me/send me it all in on a DVD/Disc and I'll read it. Bought myself AX-M Xenogenesis, yay! Bought first few issues but never finished it, and it deserves my money anyway. I don't know why or how but Storm's face and hair, the way it's drawn is one of the best thing I've ever seen put to page. Kaare Andrews is My All. Everyone's face. Yes. I love making Emma a really annoying imp too. Undermining/accentuating her persona. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReZourceman Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 Buy it for me/send me it all in on a DVD/Disc and I'll read it. Someone search MYXSS (or send me a link, as its not working for me) and search for Green Lantern for this man. So he can see the truth. Or as I said...send me and I'll do it. Same for Dynamo 5. In fact I don't even know which one he is talking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dante Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 More Info On DCNU books Bat-Girl "There's no character closer to my heart than Barbara Gordon. Her new villains are just….ooooh," said Simone excitingly. The writer went on to reveal a new villain called 'Mirror' and some panels of the character, who appears like a mysterious flasher shoving what appears to be a garden hose down an old man's throat. "He's really creepy and really cool," she said. Simone went on to tease the new Bat-Girl costume saying, "There's some things wired into her costume that is something that hasn't been done before, which is the reason why it looks the way it does," she said.
