Brightest Day

I'm so happy in the MCU he has the natural ones, 'cause it's like it's such a lazy plot device of like how do we get Hal in this situation? Well, he only has a bit left.

It's like and- Don't get me wrong, I know that he left John and he got up there right away, but if he thinks there's gonna be a full attack, to me, I don't know how long it takes, but from what we saw in the episodes so far, him saying, you know, you know, "In Brightest Day, in Blackest Night," it seemed like it charged the ring pretty quick, right? So to me-

Oh, yeah

...

But it was better.

lanterns in brightest day i thought it was amazing something about lanterns have you heard some of the youtubers going in brightest day and darkest night no no no i watched the whole thing

about the green lantern oath and they talked about that they said at one point i gotta be honest with you when i was a kid i thought it was darkest night too because it didn't make sense but they said oh at one point they did change it that and then it went back to the blackest night yeah but But if you go through,

if you go through the words, it makes more sense with brightest day, blackest night, because when you're going through the rhythm of it and looking how it was structured, it was perfect the way it is.

Correct.

As opposed to the green, the golden age lantern.

Yeah, but I've seen that.

I was doing something, and I was listening to the YouTube because it's easy just to listen to that crap while you're doing something else.

Hammond has been a part of this whole thing with Green Lantern for a long time.

He was part of the Green Lantern rebirth situation, Green Lantern's secret origin, Brightest Day, The New 52, so Infinite Frontier.

Hector Hammond is a big character in the DC universe.

hammond in his mutated state exhibits genius level intellect as well as potent telepathic and telekinetic abilities including mind reading mind control astral projection levitation projection of harmful sonic blasts moving physical objects with his mind and on occasion displays the ability to absorb and mentally redirect green lantern's energies in some incarnations his body is atrophied to the point where he cannot walk and he has to strap his head to a chair to support his weight so There's a lot here with Hector Hammond.

For the volumes thing, I think we all probably...

I'm assuming most collectors just do chronologically, right? Your Barry Allen flash volume is in front of your Wally West volume, and then after that is that short-lived Bart Allen flash run, and then whatever came next, right? Like, Barry came back during Brightest Day, and then eventually New 52, etc., etc., etc.

I mean, that's usually how I... um stacked or organize my books based on one particular character it gets a little messy right because you know you have green lantern but green lantern core or green lantern emerald warriors again i'll just put them in chronologically as a volume instead of like i i can't do that alphabetically because then the reading order is out of order you know um now where this is really tricky is notating my collection which is not something i talked about in that episode so you know i have a spreadsheet with all my inventory and i personally hate seeing justice league from like you know the 1980s series or any of the you know new 52 series or after new 52 like If it's just Justice League in my inventory, my written inventory, I hate seeing it before Justice League of America Volume 1.

But for some reason, that's how it is.

Look, you see how it's doing this cool little warbling effect? But like when you...

When you actually, like, say the oath, when you say, in brightest day, in blackest night, no evil shall escape my sight.

Let those who worship evil's might beware my power.

Green lantern's light.

I'm going to point you to Kyle first.

And then when you're like, no, I want Hal or John or whoever, we can break down like where you should go from there.

Lanterns Live said in Brightest Day, welcome.

I guess he's probably just wrapped up over there, gone almost two hours.

one.

This is a David Finch Brightest Day, I think.

Oh, that's right.

He was doing, oh, wow.

He did

covers for all the Brightest Day stuff.

That would have been around the time when I just got hired at DC because he was at Marvel and then he went to DC.

He was doing covers.
