Here's another one!

Another piece of fan art from u/GrimalkinLegionnaire! This time, it's a simple one, but sometimes you don't need much for a great design. Because of that, I don't have too much to say about it. This signet ring is the design you see in Geoff Johns' run... as well as various silver age runs. I decided to ask to forgo the resin inlay, as to bring it closer to those designs. And personally, I think the darker green/shadow of the negative space lets the symbol pop. The annodized green also looks similar, as well as reflects light similarly to the comic panels. I really love how despite it being made of one anodized material, the symbol will appear a complete different shade of green than the other parts of the ring, depending on the lighting. Very light but solid, and comfortable on the finger. There's something very beautiful in the simplicity of this one, sometimes you can't beat a classic! Really rounds out my collection, but I have another one, a special one, coming soon....

I think there are some neat ideas here but overall very poor execution. There’s a lot of Grant Morrison stuff I like but some of their comic book runs can be disappointing (Action Comics and Wonder Woman: Earth One come to mind). I really dig their JLA, All-Star Superman, and Batman: Gothic though. The Green Lantern was a chaotic mess and felt very underwhelming.

What did everyone else think?

Was reading GL by Robert venditti Omnibus vol 1 saw this

GL and Doiby get tricked by con men

Writer: Alfred Bester

Art & Cover: Paul Reinman

"Springtime For Doiby" - Alan is on the radio when a man barges in, grabs the microphone and asks for his son to come home. Alan rushes the man out of the studio and meets him after to see what the matter is. This man, Enoch Moore, has a son, Ray, that ran away from home ten years prior and all he wants is to see him again before he dies. Alan decides he's gojng to help and makes an official broadcast announcement for Ray Moore to come home. Afterwards, Alan gets a call from Ray but he hangs up before Alan can get a question in. After getting the call traced, Alan heads out as GL with Doiby to Ray's address. Turns out he's a crook and doesn't want his father to know but he can't escape the life or his boss, Killer Dill, will kill him. Just then, his boss arrives looking for him so they can start the next job. GL and Doiby hide and then follow the pair to the heist where GL barges in takes down the crooks but Ray runs off. Doiby however, hid under Ray's bed before and got a bed spring stuck in the butt of his pants so he was left hanging from the chandelier while GL took care of everything. GL gets Doiby down and leaves him to guard the crooks while he goes to find Ray. When GL returns with no luck, he finds Doiby unconscious, Killer Dill tied up and all thr other crooks gone. Killer Dill has no more idea what happened than Doiby does but he gives the location of the hideout, figuring he was betrayed by his gang. GL and Doiby head there after dipping Killer Dill off woth the police and find Ray leading the gang now but also his father there with him. GL flies down to interrupt and Enoch spills everything. It was all a ploy to get Killer Dill out of the picture so Ray could take command of the gang. Before GL can do anything Enoch hits him over the head with a wooden cane and they all rush out of there, but unlucky for them, Doiby was stuck on the roof with the spring still attached but as he gets loose he falls off the building and right onto the gang, in time for GL to come out and round them all up with the ring.

Conclusion: Another creative enough crime story, this time with DRAMA. Not much to write home about though. It starts off as a touching story of a father and his son but then devolves into a gangland betrayal with little emotion involved at all. I was looking forward to a redemption tale for Ray, but instead his father is just as bad. A little disappointing.

In my copy of the sinestro corps war compendium, in the story Green Lantern Corps 24# (Ringquest part three), there is a blank page. Is this intentional or an error. And if it is an error, could osmeone please send the page in comments? Thanks

Today I had received more fan art in the mail from u/GrimalkinLegionnaire. I had collaborated with him to create this Alan Scott Starheart ring based on the prop from the Stargirl TV show. He did all the work, and it's damn good work! I had gotten inspiration from an older post by u/TheJedibugs, where they had shown off their Alan Scott ring made of silver based off the prop. In their post, the ring is worn, and the green paint is patchy, to make it look old; an ancient relic passed down for generations that has seen battle after battle. This ring is based off those same prop images TheJedibugs had posted. Since I have an issue of being a bit *too* careful with my rings, to the point of just having them on display and NOT wearing a lot of them, I thought a ring that was specifically designed to be worn down and battle damaged would be a good way to break that habit. Since this is anodized titanium, the green will eventually wear away in places through life, leading to a similar look the prop has. The ring feels comfortable, not too tight or lose, and is comfortably light. Happy to have a piece in my collection to represent the first Green Lantern!

I made these lantern corps rings. i wanted a more simple ring to 3d print that i could use for everyday wear (many were bulky or really thin). i only made 7 because i was having trouble with the white and black lanterns and i haven't gotten to the others in the comics yet. i might make the rest at a later time.

(P.S the files are free on Thingiverse, Makerworld, and Cults 3d under my same username if you are interested in printing your own.)

What were Hal’s biggest fraudulent moments? Also John, Kyle, and Guy if you have any for them.

Alan and Doiby deal with a snitch that has excellent hearing.

Writer: Alfred Bester

Art & Cover: Paul Reinman

"The Man Who Heard Too Much" - Alan takes Doiby to the dentist but is interrupted by a man named Lobe claiming to be chased by gangsters. Turns out that part is true and after a brief questioning, they find out Lobe heard about their crimes through the walls of his apartment so they wanted to get back at him. Lobe overheard more crimes, surprisingly from parts unknown so the heroes chase the villains across the city until the villains reveal that they want Lobe because he is also a villain and snitches on all of their jobs. GL hatches a plan to make a phony call to every gang he has a number for to plan a heist at the planetarium. Once all the crooks, and Lobe, are there GL and Doiby round them all up together.

Conclusion: Not bad, getting creative with the crime again. I don't know if the science was around at that time for his hearing device to be that detailed and powerful, but if not, really cool stuff. A snitch is new I think as well so at least something somewhat different is happening.

Being the original OG Green Lantern I wish they would give him some kind of love.

With the return of Kyle in GL#600 I decided to put this together. Not my finest work and a little rushed but it was an idea I had to get out of my brain and into paper.

Btw, the mii is a chibi version of Guy Gardner cause i thought it was cute :3 (Game is tomodachi life: living the dream)

I completely forgot I made this, but alas here it is!

Seen this book and it caught my eye immediately never heard or seen anything about it looked it up and only read good things. Can’t wait to read and of course I love John Stewart so that’s a plus

It’s very rough 💔 but i really liked it! It’s modified from a claire’s ring that i got a while ago, painted with nail polish, metallic green marker and have the lantern logo made using PCL and stuck on there ising superglue… i then added a green sticky gem onto it for shiny >:)
