Who Hunts the Manhunters? The Green Lanterns, of course! We reveal the mystery of who the Manhunter is this episode, but more questions are asked than answered in the halfway point of this Lanterns Deep Dive.
Who in the show is secretly one of these monstrosities? The answer…probably won’t surprise you, if you’ve been following online discussions.
Welcome Back to Welcome to Geektown! We return with a Deep Dive into the DC show Lanterns, currently airing on HBO. This first episode gives us mysteries aplenty, as well as the opportunity to discuss lots of comic book history. Take a listen!
Wake up, Junior.
Finally finishing up the Green Lantern “Replacements” episodes with the New 52 recruits of Simon Baz and Jessica Cruz. But, before we get to those, one last bit of business from the Loki Season 2 Deep Dive, thanks to a listener comment.
“Hi, Loki!”
The gun was an identifying feature for a little while.
Hey, look ma! Character growth!
Jessica in her “Power Ring” costume.
And in her (much happier) Green Lantern outfit. She kept the eye tattoo, however.
After a bit of a hiatus, we continue the discussion of Green Lantern “Replacements,” getting into the 90s with one of the longest running replacements, Kyle Rayner, as well as the woman who briefly took his place, daughter of original Green Lantern Alan Scott, Jade. (If you haven’t listened already, I suggest checking Episode 71 for discussion of Kyle’s first girlfriend, Alex DeWitt).
Ladies and gentlemen…Crab-Faced Guy!
One of Kyle’s different looks as “Ion.”
Don’t make her angry. You wouldn’t like her when she’s angry. Wait a second…
Better than your boyfriend…at least in my opinion.
Continuing the Green Lantern “Replacements” from last episode, we move on to the one that actually replaced Hal first, despite appearing after Guy Gardner. The Lantern so well loved, he was actually chosen over Hal for the Justice League cartoon in the DCAU, it’s John Stewart!
This is one of many cases where the cover image does not at all happen in the story.
Believe it or not…it gets worse.
Can you tell this costume was created in the 1990s?
After the show aired, the comics adapted John to fit this version even more.
Yes we can.
