Green Lantern's Light

A promo for Green Lantern's Light... a podcast exploring the late-Bronze and Modern Age adventures of the Green Lantern!

This episode, we kick things off with an introduction to the show, ourselves and, of course, Green Lantern! As a quick primer before the main event begins, we’ve selected three stories to catch you up to speed on the mythology of the Green Lantern Corps. First up is “The Planet of Doomed Men” from GREEN LANTERN (Vol. 2) #1, which recounts Hal’s origin and introduces the Guardians. That’s followed by “The Day 100,000 People Vanished” from GREEN LANTERN (Vol. 2) #7 giving us our first look at the dastardly Sinestro! And, finally, we wrap things up with “Beware My Power” from GREEN LANTERN (Vol. 2) #87, introducing John Stewart!

Just in time for Christmas, we dive head-first into 1984 with a look at Green Lantern comics from January, February and March of that year. As Hal adjusts to life back at home, the Shark surfaces to take a bite out of our Emerald Crusader. Then in issue #177, we get a flashback to a twice-told tale where Hal hooks horns with the huge-headed hoodlum, Hector Hammond!

This time, the guys charge forward into 1984 with a look at GREEN LANTERN (Vol. 2) #178, 179 and 180! All around it's a step up from last episode as the Demolition Team attacks and Hal must hold fast to his pledge to the Guardians... and then deal with the fallout. It's a pivotal set of issues laying the groundwork for big changes that are right around the corner.

We bring a close to the calendar year of 1984 and the Len Wein/Dave Gibbons era of Green Lantern with a super-sized episode looking at GREEN LANTERN (Vol. 2) #184, 185 and 186, where Green Lantern battles the menace of Eclipso -- and someone's not making it out alive. This episode, we also dive into TALES OF THE GREEN LANTERN CORPS ANNUAL #1, featuring an universe-spanning tale that threatens the entire Green Lantern Corps!
