Just got some Priority Mailers from Scott Beatty filled with tons of comics! I haven’t read new comics since last October. First priority: Catching up on Green Lantern Corps! I finished reading Peter Tomasi and Pat Gleason’s story arc where the GLC goes after the awful Kryb, who kills Green Lantern parents and then stuffs…

Green Lantern: Best Fan-Made trailer ever?
Best Fan-Made trailer ever? You be the judge. I wish it were real. Even as I recognize most of the footage and music used in it, I still got goosebumps as if I was watching a real trailer in a theater. Just…astounding!
