'Orange' you glad to see me?
Previews for Agent Orange, of the Green Lantern prelude to Blackest Night, previews found at
IGN.com.

SPOILERS... wait, not false alarm, no spoilers yet....

This is the first time I am going to complain about the pacing of the story.. the images. It seems like it is skipping some transitional images in between. I have to re-read this a couple of times to understand how we got from A to B to C to what the hell?

	He didn't fight off rage on his own merits, he needed the blue ring from Saint-Walker to do that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Well, I forgot that. My bad, but it does just prove what everyone's saying about Hal being this fantastical Rainbow Lantern, and I still maintain Johns might shock everyone by stopping his work with Hal following Blackest Night. (Reply to this) (Parent)

He fought it off with their help (he got by with a little help from his friends) but there was clearly a lot more of Hal than there was of Laira or anyone else. He was forming constructs with his ring whereas the other Red Lanterns were basically just blasting away. His internal monologue consisted of him battling the ring for control of himself, whereas Laira only managed one pathetic plea for help towards the end.

	The issue there is Hal was the perspective character while Laira wasn't, so we saw him a little more. If we'd heard Laira's internal monologue, it might've been different, but it isn't her book so that's not gonna happen often. As far as constructs go, ring slingers always have their separate styles.

I want to see Guy get a red ring.

I can see a closeup of blood shot eyes and then in the caption boxes they do for Red Lanterns we get "Y-you..." "Think" "Making me..." "M--m-mad" "Will Do Any..." "Anything..." "BUT..." "MAKE ME..." "KICK YOUR ASSES HARDER!!!"

And then the next panel we just see a stream of constructs formed by the red blood.

And then Hope fails to cure him, but Ice shows up welding either Compassion or Love.

Someone please draw Ice in a Star Sapphire costume?
