I meant the difference between Hal Jordan, John Stewart and Kyle Ranyer (sp?). Garner uses more contractions.

The Unwritten is great. I’m happy to be at the ground floor of the next big Vertigo series.

Not like that shitty Unthinkable. That’s a ground floor that’s covered in poo.

Aw, I’m just teasing, Miles. I know that we have long since agreed to disagree on the worthwhileness of DC’s continuity-porn (although I think most people could pick out the difference in Hal Jordan and Guy Gardner’s character voices). How about we just focus on the wave of the future: THE UNWRITTEN!

Hey now.

I approached Sinestro Corps with an open mind and heart. I was excited because here was this DC story that everyone said was so cool and exciting. I really wanted to like it. I went in excited because I was going to like it.

But then what I opened was three interchangeable main Green Lanterns (cover the pictures and guess who is talking because I’d be damned if it seemed to matter) and then a bunch of other ones that I had never heard of and were equally important.

I didn’t read GL Rebirth and I’m not reading Flash Rebirth. Why? Hard to say exactly. Mostly that I don’t read most DC and I think it’s silly that they’ve brought back these characters who had served their purpose.

I know the same could be said about Bucky in Captain America but I think everyone would agree that was a special surprise.

I give DC their due when I think they make good product. I just don’t think it happens as often as it does at Marvel.

Oh yeah, I meant to say I’d finally picked up the Unwritten, it is pretty amazing- literary geography? Sweet

I’d be lying if I said it didn’t occur to me as I wrote it, but if I wanted to be really nasty I’d have said “this one is for people willing to read it with an open mind and heart, it’ll just annoy everyone else” and then I’d have pointed out that I first read the similarly written Green Lantern: Rebirth not knowing much about continuity and enjoyed the Hell out of it. But I decided not to do that. I’m too nice.

Hey, Miles, remember how we both love The Unwritten? Isn’t Vertigo great? How awesome is Peter David?

Who may or may not have had certain grumblings about a certain Green Lantern war that make me suspect Owen’s line may or may not have been aimed at him.

In Owen’s Flash: Rebirth review I suspect one line in particular (“I would say this one is for Flash or DC fans only; it’ll just annoy everyone else.”) may have been aimed at someone who or may not be a co-editor of a certain online magazine whose name may or may not rhyme with something he does not do when it comes DC books: smiles.
