Comic book fans have known for years that Wednesday is a sacred day. The day that our favorite titles break loose from the gates of heaven and rain down upon us. Every week there are ups and downs, highs and lows. It would be nice to get some direction in a sea of series that can easily over take any fan boy. I cannot say that my taste is better than anyone else, but I can tell you what I like. I may even tell you what I don’t like.
Check out these books after the jump. The Atom and Hawkman, Green Lantern, Thor, The Walking Dead.

Comingsoon is reporting that Peter Sarsgaard will be facing off against Ryan Reynolds in next summer’s Green Lantern. After we reported Blake Lively joined the cast as Carrol Ferris, there was a bit of hesitation in the choice of love interest. However, Peter Sarsgaard has the chops to square off against Reynolds as Dr. Hector Hammond. Hammond is super-intelligent and has psychic powers, so the Green Lantern will have his hands full.

Big news today for Green Lantern fans. With Blackest Night rolling along epically, we are all aware that we still have Brightest Day to look forward to. Earlier today DC Comics announced that this series will start right after the wrap up of Blackest Night. I was hoping to be able to catch my breath after the major crossover ends in issue #8 due out March, but it seems as if DC has other plans.

This weekend the news broke that Gossip Girl star Blake Lively had been cast as Carol Ferris, the love interest to Ryan Reynolds’ superhero character Green Lantern.

DC Comics is doing a great promotion for Blackest Night fans. If retailers bought a certain amount of certain comic books they qualified for a bag of promo rings representing each different Corps of Light from the Green Lantern universe. I though that this was an awesome idea and eagerly awaited my rings. As it turns out, many fans were not aware of said promotion and had lots of questions as to which rings came out with which story. For those that don’t know here is a list of issues that correspond with each ring. Enjoy!

Yesterday we reported a rumor (which turned out to be true) that Justin Timberlake had been given a screen test for the role of Hal Jordan in the upcoming Green Lantern movie. Fanboys went crazy yesterday with the news that Timberlake could be a potential candidate for the role. While the former Nsync member has proved his acting talent with films like Alpha Dog and Black Snake Moan, he is still a long ways from headlining a big budget studio project. According to The Hollywood Reporter, actors Bradley Cooper (The Hangover), Ryan Reynolds (The Proposal) and Timberlake are the three potential front-runners for the role of Hal Jordan aka Green Lantern.

Big casting rumor today, AICN is reporting a souce inside Warner Brothers leaked Justin Timberlake’s name as a new contender for the title role in the upcoming Green Lantern film. Typically studios screen test actors to see how they flow with the script and role, so if this news is true they must really be considering JT. However, these unconfirmed rumors spill out everytime a big role is up, so Justin fans should wait for something more concrete.

Ah love. It’s a wonderful thing. “Love conquers all” they say, but is that true in the DC universe? On one of the far ends of the emotional spectrum is Violet. This color signifies love in the spectrum. With love, almost always, comes conflict (Sorry ladies) and with conflict can sometimes come war. In the Blackest Night it is unsure where the violets light stands, but have no fear where there is love there may be hope. Learn about the Star Sapphires, the violet light and the Zamarons after the jump. Read the rest of this entry »

Since the birth of the Green Lantern concept in the 1940’s the series has been a comic sci-fi hit. As many series have their ups and downs, GL has been pretty consistent.

In today’s bio we leave will power and fear. Today, we look into rage and what kind of corps that creates. See the rage of the Red Lanterns after the jump. Read the rest of this entry »

What makes a person capable of being a Green Lantern (GL) is their ability to over come great fear. So intern what makes a better opponent than a group whose base function is to spread fear across the universe? Learn about Sinestro, the yellow light, Parallax, and more after the jump.

We have been reporting for some time now about the production of a Green Lantern movie. There has been casting news, budget news, shooting location news, release date news, yet the movie still has yet to begin production. To offset these long standing delays, a youtube user by the name of JaronPitts has created this amazing trailer of his interpretation for a Green Lantern movie. The numerous clips from other movies is impressive, and having Serenity star, Nathan Fillion filling in as Hal Jordan seems like a good fit. This is one of the better fan made trailers I have seen in a while. I recommend you check it out and see if you can spot the movie clips he is using for this trailer.
