OH NONONONOHAHAHA
>>150912419My LCS still has dozens of unsold 1st prints of issue #1, everything else went off the shelves quickly.
>>150912419>imagine if the world of DC was DARK and EVIL>BATMAN is JUICED UP and his friends MUTILATED>SUPERMAN is ON THE RUN in a world GONE MAD>GREEN LANTERN is A BLACK WOMAN
>>150912567I can’t think of anything darker or more evil myself.
>>150912419Another one? how much of a shithole is Earth really, when we need a dozen GLs?
they just can't help themselves
After all being embarrassing and dated is the Absolute way.
>>150912567Let's not forget about absolute flash, who got his powers after a freak accident and lost a bro while he was at it. I wonder what's her traumatic backstory? No father figure? Gang violence?
>>150912419>op samefagging his own threadIs there anything more pathetic?
>>150912419
>>150912419Should've been Jessica
>>150912419Don't tell me they gender-swapped Stewart
>>150912419Absolute DC had to take at least one L to keep things fair for Marvel.
Is Hal still around in absolute GL? >>150913329Yeah, should have been Jessica.
>>150913542nope, but he's gay
>>150912656April has been black more than she has been white.
>>150914243And yet, if she really was black, her name would actually be Aypruhl or Juhlie.
>>150912419I won't lie to you she has a sick design but I know that in big 2025 if I read a comic with a black main character it will be trash.
This is a causal low effort bait thread
>>150912419Should have just gone with Kyle Rayner . He has a decent fan base and really never gets anything
>>150914370Kyle is the shittiest of the the four corpsmen. White Lantern Super Jesus and artist
>>150914365The threads get the effort the comics earn.
>>150914443But this thread only works for non-comic reading bandwagoners who just make assumptions and a circlejerk
>>150914463$10 says at least one retard reads the comic because of this thread letting them know the comic exists in the first place.
>>150913046divorce
>>150912419i don't get itwasn't this character already out and did anon just find out that she exists?
>>150914584Almost a year now. Anon probably just saw whatever YouTube video that tells him what to be mad at
>>150914584>>150914640Is this not the lady from Far Sector? I never read it, but I do know it was a Young Animal thing.
>>150914584No one recognizes her without the fucktarded haircut abd goofy as shit glasses.
>>150912419id see nothing wrong with this as long as shes straight , wears sexy outfits, and has sex with men on panel. but you know that wont be the case
>>150912419I just think AGL is cringe and Ewing is a bad writer
>>150914691>>150914584Dang, in that case I'm glad some unknown was put as the face of absolute green lantern, I was thinking they just put her there because she's a black woman.
>>150912656>turning a black character white gets screams of "racist whitewashing">turning a white character black is okay though and you just have to accept it and don't complain or you're racist
>>150915011Othello is black but no one says anything. And MCU Peter Parker is white washed miles morales.
why not keep the black one they already have and that everybody like?
Since OP is a faggot and I assume most of /co/ doesn't read>Pic related is already a GL character. She's from Far Sector, Jo Mullein. In the Absolute Universe she's the leading protagonist>Hal, John, and Guy are all characters in the book too.>Hal has Black Lantern-esque powers, Guy has Red, and John yellow>Lantern Powers aren't a emotional spectrum in the Absolute Universe, but action itself. Black is chaotic action, Red is restraint from action, Green is taking action, and Yellow is enlightenment/wise decisive action>Leading antagonists are Hector Hammond (one of Earth's billionaires that pulls the strings like Ras and Joker), and Sinestro (leader of the Black Stars)There, now you have context
I'll masturbate to her just to piss off chuddy faggos.
>>150915073>can’t think of his opponents without inserting gay sexWhat did anon mean by this?
>>150915073>I'll masturbate to her just to piss off chuddy faggos.>doesn't realize chuds LOVE black queens
>>150914958sorry to disappoint you, but Ewing has a fetish for black women and that's half the reason why Jo is the apparent main character of AGLthe other half is because Ewing didn't want to do Hal/Jon as the protag because he felt Hal/Jon was overused (and that he'd just be repeating their storylines) and that Jo was ideal because in his eyes, she didn't have much background or and he wouldn't step on any writers' toes if he did anything new with her, so he had total freedom to do whatever he wanted with herthe problem is that AGL is still written as if Hal is the main character because his emotional throughline/character arc is what the narrative revolves around, so Jo is just the central POV and little else
>>150915057you mean to tell me Hal DOESN'T become a necrophiliac?
>>150915165GL will always be stuck in a narrative hole until all of the halfags are fired or dead.
>>150914413He has a fan base from his 90s run and basically does nothing now.
>>150915208the problem with GL isn't just the obsession over Hal, but moreso a problem with the established framework and throughlines of GL refusing to be compatible for the sort of storytelling that it would logically follow (Lensmen/Ultraman/Starbrand/Star Wars)in the hands of better writers, it would follow a basic formula that can then easily be expanded on (it's a western...but in space)>everyman human/alien character gets the Lantern Ring>gets zapped up to train with other Lanterns>fights invading aliens and sci-fi villains on Earth half the time while also dealing with intergalactic threats in space the other half
>>150915057as someone who HAS read it, I'm curious why they'd put her as the lead (if not because of her race, gender and sexuality [since she's gay, of course]) if they were just gonna make her a soulless, bland, uninteresting character, by far the most bland of all the characters introduced in her own book
>>150912419What a huge downgrade from this design.
>>150915416>I think in the first version of the pitch, it was more John’s book. But the vision I had for John, and I didn’t want to lose that, was as a quite thoughtful, contemplative character. I decided I needed somebody who was more of an action-driven personality to kind of throw that into relief. So, as the book evolved into the second stage of the pitch, Jo really seemed like the ideal person to take on that active central role. I also think it’s interesting to have somebody that maybe the reader doesn’t know as well, that we can all discover together.https://www.dc.com/blog/2025/04/02/absolute-interview-green-lantern-reminds-us-to-beware-its-power
Batman's the popular oneMartian Manhunter is the snob pleaser Wonder Woman's the audience darlingSuperman's the one its fans desperately want to convince you will get betterFlash is just thereGreen Lantern's the one people expect to get canned first
>>150915463>I think in the first version of the book, I had an interesting idea that would be fun to read. So executive meddling told me to try a gay black woman instead.very interesting
>>150915433more like an upgrade, Jo's mainline design sucks ass>her hair looks like a piece of shit>the Kamina glasses and cape clashing against her aloofness>the fucking bigass belt
>>150915317Yes, it never truly recovered from "nuke the corp" trope.
>>150914584>>150914640>>150914958>>150915057Dang, never heard of this comic, and i spent my time in comic book circlesNot to be that guy, but that's why manga is beating comic books nowadays, they add characters due their skin color, and not their merits
>>150912419I like Jo more than John because I love black women with big juicy asses.
>>150915625>and i spent my time in comic book circlesLying faggot
>>150915677
>>150915563I keep kicking around a pitch for an Elseworlds GL series in my head>main cast is Hal, Guy, Jessica, Jon, Simon, Jo, and Sinestro>spaceship crashes on Earth containing several dead Lanterns, and their rings go to Hal and his friends>they then defend their home and Earth from various threats, but then Sinestro shows up and takes them all to Oa>the Guardians and the Central Battery are one and the same (think SEELE from the Rebuilds of NGE), and with the exception of Hal (who already has a Green ring), everyone else loses their rings and is either sent home or forcibly outfitted with a Green Lantern ring>Hal and his remaining friends work on Green Lantern missions, but Hal becomes disillusioned with the Guardians and their agenda (and how they are preventing him from going back home)>Sinestro begins to push Hal towards the path of radicalization (unbeknownst to everyone, Hal is also being quietly manipulated by Parallax, hiding in the Central Battery), but grows softer as he becomes friends with Hal's friends>Hal then overpowers the Guardians' elite Lanterns when he is fed up with their shittiness and goes back to Earth, but finds his hometown in ruins>PARALLAX TIME>Hal then goes on a warpath and destroys the Guardians, letting loose Parallax and freeing the wider emotional spectrum (having been imprisoned by the Guardians)
So what would an Absolute Ambush Bug be like?
>>150915538That's better. The Absolute version is just boring.
>>150915625>Spent my time in comic book circlesWhat the fuck does that even mean? Browsing /co/? Loitering in a comic book shop? Following a subreddit? You could have just said that that you have friends who read comics and all your knowledge is secondhand.
I hope Absolute is a limited like and not something they're going to milk for the next 20 years. But this is Snyder so there is Absolutely no chance he doesn't squeeze it for all it's worth.
>>150913663>Is Hal still around in absolute GL?Yes, but he's infected with the Black Hand.
>>150912419I don’t get it
>>150915903Eh I think a GL presence on earth should be kept to keep an eye on not just places but races who could be a threat.John and Alan should be a fusion. First GL in centuries is a black American in the 20s. He serves well till sonething happens that makes him give up on the earth. Then comes hal Jordan. In the late 50s Devil may care pilot and pussy hound. Total buck Roger's hero till he vanishes 20 years later. 80s is guy gardener getting a red ring and becoming the asshole guy gardener we all know and love. But with a slight punisher lean.In the 90s a Yessica Cruz finds the purple ring. In the 2000s an artist named Kyle Rainer gets a white ring from a small blue man named ganthet. You are worthyAll of the above fight a man named sinestro. The bearer of the yellow ring.Thry soon find out that the great green la turn hero hal had went to war against the oans over the light. And the war kead to the destruction of the gl cor and freeing of the light spectrum.The reason for the war is that hal finds out that the oans are little more then galavtic tyrants and engineered humans to be weaker and never be a threat to them. And were planning to send Jordan away so they could destroy earth and genocide humanity. They've done it before.Stewart was sealed in the oan battery/prison of light because he was a danger. The battle against Jordan and his freedom fighters was a stalemate till Jordan destroyed the battery abd the light as well as a pissed and no longer human Stewart broke free.
>>150915625Anon, the Absolute line is arguably the biggest thing in comics right now, whatever point you’re trying to make gets lost when you lie right out of the gate
>>150912419Man I hate to see my favorite super hero world/stories turned into some minority parade. Give me a cool GL story with lots of space weirdness and action I dont want to see a lesbian black woman in a shitty made web comic
>>150914584Imagine a comic being so fucking irrelevant that people are just discovering it exists, inconceivable i know...
>>150914640Some nice imagination you got, maybe you should try writing comic books...
>>150917576You should check the latest sells thread...
>>150912668would
>>150915625>I spend my time in comic circles>never heard of the Absolute line though, teehee>b-but this is why manga is beating out co-Go back.
>>150914243Factually untrue.
>>150912419>The black chickI mean if they wanted to have a DEI character. At least put one that they tried to make an actual character like Jessica Cruz.
>>150915433That design is insanely dogshit and awful.
>>150914243Not only is that a lie so far, but also no one cares for the black Aprils.
>>150914243Fuck off Seth Rogen
>>150912419holy hell look at those cum gutters
>>150914243I swear to God, you faggots just get worse and worse at this
>>150919878And the one in the OP is way worse.
>>150914243start from making blapril not shit
>>150912567Hal,Guy and John would cry if they knew,especially John.He knows the depths of evil black women can dive into.
