Now, a brief break from Wonder Woman...
If you listen to our podcast, you may know that my favorite Green Lantern is Guy Gardner. But not the Guy Gardner usually seen in Emerald Warriors. That guy is a serious GL, on Oa, working with a bunch of GL's of other worlds, protecting the universe or the Guardians. I think Guy is at his best when he is interacting with non-Green Lantern heroes. This issue of Emerald Warriors FINALLY brings guy back to Earth from Oa, and teams him with his "frenemy" Batman to solve a murder on the ISS.
Guy, of course, is NOT the World's Greatest Detective. But he tries. He questions the other astronauts aboard the space station while Batman goes and does detecting. Guy is guy, and tries to find various motives (jealousy, mostly) for the murder. Of course, though, Batman figures out what happened, but that gives Guy his time to shine by catching the bad guy and saving the space station and Opal City from certain death. Go Guy!
Maybe I am a bit of a xenophobe, but I really prefer stories set on Earth. I am looking forward to the New 53 version of JLI, including Guy, and hope to see some "interaction" with him and Ice. Please, give me witty badinage!
Well, tomorrow's the big day? Are you going to the comic shop at midnight? (Or maybe noon, when our LCS actually opens?)
