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!

Welcome to a special episode of Green Lantern's Light! Even though the show is barely underway and Christmas is still more than a month away, we're already handing out treats! In this special bonus episode, the guys got together to share some random thoughts on and reactions to the one-hour premiere of "Green Lantern: The Animated Series!"

We get right down to it and kick off our regular coverage this episode with a look at Green Lantern comics from October, November and December 1983. First up is GREEN LANTERN (Vol. 2) #172, which brings Hal Jordan back to Earth after a year-long exile. We then move on to issues 173 and 174 as Hal defends both Ferris Air and Los Angeles when he takes on a new menace in the form of the Javelin!"

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!
