I’ve always been a Green Arrow fan. My exposure to him as a kid had been with the Justice League, but The Longbow Hunters by Mike Grell was my first real introduction to him as a solo character.

I like that, similar to Batman, he is self made. He trained to become this archer that can stand on his own with metahumans. A huge difference is his sense of politics in a world that clearly needs someone to be a different voice. He isn’t afraid to stand up for the little guy. I also like the sometimes emotion gets the better of him. He makes mistakes and he isn’t always right. Yet, he picks himself up and keeps trying. There is a humanity to him that I identify with.

Cool Green Lantern News

Some interesting news for the Green Lantern books. There is certainly room for another Green Lantern title, plus Tony Bedard of R.E.B.E.L.S. fame taking over GLC. I am so glad that Peter Tomasi is remaining a part of the Green Lantern universe. Bedard will make an excellent addition. With his experience at Valiant with Rai and book like R.E.B.E.L.S., he clearly understands a sci fi epic. I was wondering if we’d be getting more from the Green Lantern Universe.

Aquaman??? I didn’t see this coming but I am excited.

I was browsing the Source this evening and came across this cover for Brightest Day.

http://dcu.blog.dccomics.com/2010/02/11/your-first-look-at-brightest-day-what-does-it-mean/

I know this doesn’t necessarily mean a for sure return of Aquaman but Blackest Night reinvigorated me with the possibilities of his return. I am 100% behind more Mera storytelling. I was a huge fan of the Peter David run on Aquaman and really loved the character ever since. The Sub Diego stuff that introduced Aquagirl was good fun as well.

Atlantis is always an interesting place to read about because of the politics involved. This is a different nation with VERY different concerns from the surface world. This often leads to deep conflict over different ideologies. Combat is also quite different under water and there are some interesting chances to bring the vastness of the sea to life.  The fantasy style of the most recent version began to explore some of this.

Will this be the same Aquaman that had the hook hand? Will this be the Silver Age version? Will I know it is technically the same guy but what will still be considered part of his past?

Will Dolphin and Tempest also return?

If this preview is a hint at his possible return, it also makes me wonder what other characters that were Black Lantern’s might come back?
