So Jay, Alan, Barry and Hal decide to take a trip off planet to do some serious bonding. On the way 'something' interferes with Hal's ring and he can no longer find directions to the planet he had picked out. Instead Alan finds them a nice little planet they can camp and do manly things on. Unfortunately Alan is being a bit of a dick about it and giving Hal a hard time.





I love Hal's expression/s in those panels. 'Hal Jordan: Greatest Green Lantern. Bored to death by small talk.'

Anyway, unpleasant yellow rain suddenly pours down upon them and Hal is useless. For the second time on this trip. His humiliation and discomfort continues when Barry finds a stuffed bear among Hal's things and Hal is forced to admit that he has recently become a traveling toy salesmen. Once again, Alan gives him a hard time about it. Eventually the quartet decide they should just head straight to be bed.




And that's how I fell in love with Barry. Isn't he adorkable? Who goes on a manly camping trip with three other guys and brings his striped pjs, toothbrush, housecoat and a picture of his wife? ♥



He just wanted an excuse to hold your hand, Hal. Way to be useless again, by the way!




Eventually they're attacked by a swarm of insects. Made entirely out of wood. They merge into one big bug which attacks Alan. Then Alan smashes it apart, claiming that the bug is actually a creation of Hal's.

Now why would Hal create a giant wooden bug monster to attack Alan?

And believe it or not, the answer is not 'because he's a freaking moron.'





ETA: Sorry if that seemed a little disjointed, I had to really cut back on this entry when I realized (dur) that it didn't fit within the new posting guidelines.
