The LanternCast: A Green Lantern Podcast

This was Dan's idea, so don't blame me. After refrencing it since episode zero, we finally delve into probably the most infamous Green Lantern story ever (at least as far as WE'RE concerned). It's crazy happy fun time with Guy Gardner Colateral Damage 1 and 2!!! This is where Dan typically writes his zany copy for the episode, but I'm pre-empting it for an important message: Listen to this episode...

It's episode 52, and they mis-collored the Rage Kitty! My Liefeld senses are tingling! After a long calendar year, we finally close the book on Blackest Night, with Green Lantern Corps #46, Green Lantern #52(!), Blackest Night #8...oh, and Secret Six #s 17 and 18, for completion's sake. We have a discussion about how they may or may not be weaving religion into the Lantern mythos, pose one BIG que...
