	Just checking to make sure Green Lantern is still DC's best comic. Yup, still is (Reply to this)

Can someone add some personality here? We've got four versions of the same character on these pages.

Violet: I love him.
Yellow: You love him.
Violet: No I don't. We must fight.

Yellow: I love her.
Green: You love her.
Yellow: No I don't. We must fight.

Indigo: We must fight.
Black: I know you.
Indigo: No you don't. We must fight

This is why they wanted to kill Hal off in the first place.

	If you'd told me 10 years ago that I would consider motherfucking SINESTRO to be one of the DCU's most awesomely badass adversaries, I would have laughed in your fucking face. Holy SHIT. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	So much for my big theory. "Chaotic universe and dead wife make Sinestro go crazy." Guess not. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It's like Dr. Phibes - I can't decide whether the dead wife tipped him over into crazy, or if he (and his wife) were already there, and reuniting them would make it even worse. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	This really is turning out to be much better than I had expected it to be, quite honestly. I had thought the idea of multiple colors kind of lame, but it's proven to be pretty good in the hands of some decent writers. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Please, please, PLEASE whoever's writing the Green Lantern movie, use THIS as the model of how Sinestro should act. (I'm assuming he's the villain. Everybody else is second-rate by comparison.) (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I kinda like the idea of the MIB-style direction they went with for "First Flight". Haven't seen the movie itself, but WIZARD--no, wait, hear me out--proposed a live-action movie be pretty much the same thing, with Hal and Kyle. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	retro_nouveau 2009-10-29 12:29 am UTC (link)
	Sinestro goes up a few orders of magnitude in retro's book for having some love and compassion in his core. His magnificence is undeniable, but I like that he's trying to connect after she's gone. Not that he's going to let Hal know. Definitely novel concept in Hal fighting side-by-side-by-side with his arch-enemy and 2nd-worst-enemy/ex-boss/OTP. (Reply to this)

	i must admit, when they appeared on Odum... it was pretty bad ass, even with Hal taking lead, Sinestro is still in the center of it :) also, check out Blackest Night Titans 3, pretty good issue, especially if you are a Don and Dawn fan :) (Reply to this)

When the Black Lantern looks as Sinestro, she sees "Fear, Love, and Compassion"... but isn't his left side blue, not indigo? Even a few panels down when Indigo-1 fires her beam, you can see the colors may be similar shadows, but still different.

Just a coloring error, or did someone actually mess up the script and Sinestro was supposed to be feeling "Hope" instead, that this really was Arin Sur come back to him?

	AS far as the merch, the indigo stuff is basically a different (though not purple-ish) shade of blue. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	How was it that Arin Sur (that's Abin's sister's name right?) was able to within the time frame of Indigo's green blast go from decaying to...well kinda cute and curvacious? Or is the art there supposed to be that - despite her decayed/zombie state - that's how Sinestro still sees her?....beautiful and alive in his eyes (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Magic Black Lantern powers. If it can restore them to 50% HP, so to speak, why can't it boost their CHA scores temporarily? (Reply to this) (Parent)
