So yeah… these sort of things always seem to come in pairs, don’t they? But that’s it for now… at least until I get to the LvsC parody, but that’s a ways off yet. The Flash strip just came about because I was wondering what it would take to make the Flash utterly useless… broken leg seemed the natural answer. The Green Lantern strip, however, is more an expression of exasperation regarding the ever-changing yellow vulnerability.
I mean I get it. You can’t have a truly invulnerable character and remain interesting in the long run. Superman has to have his kryptonite. The Green Lantern has to have his… yellow… I’m good with that. I just wish DC would pick one reason why the Corps might be vulnerable to yellow and stick with it. Is it an intentional battery impurity to keep folks humble? A side-effect of having Parallax bound in the battery? Or is it the latest and greatest a friggin’ test to see if you can overcome your fear?!?
Whatever… It’s all shite since Marvel dropped Richard Ryder, anyway…
Ah well, enough… we’ll be back Sunday with the annual tribute (probably in poster style), and then on Tuesday… I think we’ll check in with Jane… or maybe Elric… hard to say…
It took a beat or two for me to get the joke. Well played, sir.
Also, bravo on the Yellow Submarine above and recreating the Beatles’ look from the film! Applause, applause!
Thanks…
It was actually weird doing the Beatles stuff as they don’t shade… and it feels undone… you’ll notice Hal is the only thing in the comic with any little bit of shading applied…
