Green Lantern sees red
December 22nd, 2007
The title of the post is taken directly from the cover of the fourth and final part of Green Lantern versus Aliens. Remember the days when comic books would say outlandish things on the covers to get people to buy them. This seems to be a half hearted attempt at this.
In this issue we talk about how we don’t have the ring, we go get the ring, an obvious plot development is revealed and a hard choice is finally made after much internal debate. Yes that’s right folks it’s the conclusion to the four part series that could have been told in half that many!
So Kyle is staring down at his ring which is stuck in Alien goo. He makes some lame comment about why he can’t Luke Skywalker it and then Robo-undies-girl decides that she’ll draw the Aliens away and he has to run to the ring as fast as he can, but he isn’t to look back. Which is fine since she’ll be to his side anyway and behind is just the unguarded tunnel they have entered through.
OMG Robo-undies-girl is actually an android!!! Oh and Kyle kissed her for luck and because he is lame, I’m pretty certain the look on her face is one of disappointment also, this is the only human who’s kissed her and well, it’s not like he’s Batman or Gnort for that matter.
So Kyle gets a second kiss from a face hugger though who also seems slightly disappointed and is torn off his face when he blindly grabs the power ring.
After a deep and meaningful with Bishop… ahem I mean Robo-undies-girl he decides to wipe out all the Aliens so that they won’t be the next Green Lantern’s problem (it is apparent even to Robo-undies-girl that Kyle probably won’t be GL for too long). He utters the sacred oath that Green Lanterns before him used to say and this sets off his thermo nuclear power ring effect.
We get to see plenty of Aliens blowing up but we do miss out on the actual aftermath and Kyle rescuing the crew etc. We cut to a camping scene where Kyle is feeling blue for wiping out the bug infestation and is given moral support from the two remaining non-Green Lantern Green Lanterns (???).
At the end we have the ghost of Hal behind Kyle lost in thought about where to get his power ring resized and should he get a matching bracelet.
Ahhh good times.
I hope you all enjoyed as much as I enjoyed reading the series (Oh hang on, no I don’t.)
Might do an old Indiana Jones series next.
Oh crap I forgot to mention that Kyle broke his arm in all the action, as if you care.

You see Dan I’ve managed to save you some money there - or at least some time reading through the comics at a comic book shop. I’m trying to make up my mind if you liked the actual series or my summaries!

it seems strange Sir Jorge that he doesn’t use the Green Lantern melted cheese move (as I like to now refer to it as) more often, blow up all your enemies and leave the goodies alive and well.

I was meaning the summaries, but I phrased it clumsily.
