  Hey everybody, it’s time to talk about Green Lantern #6 written by Geoffrey Thorne, pencils by Marco Santucci and Tom Raney, colors by Mike Atiyeh, and letters by Simon Bowland.   This issue backs up a bit, and shows us what Jo was doing while Simon went down to the surface of New Korugar to retrieve Keli.   Jo takes a moment to tell Simon (and the reader) that her ring functions differently from a standard issue Green Lantern ring…it automatically recharges itself over time without the need for a battery, but the trade off is that the process takes a long time, and her maximum output is lower than that of a normal ring.   It felt like a pretty natural way to catch up anyone who hasn’t read Far Sector and didn’t already know how Jo’s ring works.   Incidentally, if you haven’t read Far Sector, you really should.   It’s one of the best Green Lantern series I’ve ever read, and I’ll be talking about it in detail whenever I find the time. Then we get somethin...

  Good news everybody, Jessica Cruz is back in the pages of the Green Lantern 2021 Annual #1, written by Ryan Cady with art by Sami Basri and Tom Derenick, color by HI-FI, and letters by Rob Leigh.   This issue is a direct continuation of the Jessica Cruz story in Future State Green Lantern #1, by mostly the same creative team.   This issue was actually delayed because of some COVID-related shipping and supply chain problems, so it takes place before the events of Green Lantern #5, despite it coming out the same day as Green Lantern #6.   That said, it’s self-contained contained enough that you can read it pretty much whenever without it being a problem, though you’ll get more out of it if you read Jessica’s story in Future State Green Lantern #1 first. Despite her Green Lantern ring being de-powered, Jessica managed to defend her Sector House from three Yellow Lanterns, and then used one of their rings to travel to New Korugar and return them to Sinestro.  But...

  So, Infinite Frontier.   Where to start…technically I already did start, I did a video all about issue #1 a few months ago, back when I thought this was going to be DC’s big summer event.   It isn’t, by the way…if anything, it’s setting up something else that’ll probably happen next year.   And my original plan was to do a whole video series on this, covering it one or two issues at a time, because I was sure it was going to flesh out a hand full of lesser used Green Lantern characters while advancing the whole DC Universe forward in the process.   And while that kind of happened, it came in the form of a mini series that did nothing all that meaningful for the majority of its run, and then became a convoluted mess at the very last minute. …so I’m going to split this into two sections, the Lantern stuff and the story.  Yes, I can talk about all the Green Lantern stuff in this mini series without including anything about the story, and yes that’s a bad si...
