Have you watched the first episode of Lanterns yet on HBO Max? I watched the episode twice last week since I missed hearing a lot of the dialogue even though I had the tv volume up. Kyle Chandler did a great job as Hal Jordan aka Green Lantern, but I think Aaron Pierce as John Stewart aka Green Lantern in training stole the show. The second episode airs tonight but I'll probably end up watching it on Monday morning.

Batman Playing Cards Diamonds Edition
Today's post spotlights the Diamonds from the Batman playing cards. The classic Batman and Detective Comics covers features Batman, Robin, Green Lantern, the Atom, Manhunter, Hawkman, Penguin, Riddler, Joker, Bat-Woman and Mr. Zero (renamed Mr. Freeze later). One of the Batman artwork cards features him piloting the Batcopter and has to be my favorite in the whole deck.
Note: Yes, I know that some of the cards are swapped in the Ace to Nine image. I didn't notice that until after I cropping the image.

Throwback Thursday: JSA #20
DC Comics released JSA #20 yesterday. The cover features Spectre, Wildcat (Yolanda Montez), Green Lantern (Alan Scott), Stargirl and Jade. Wildcat is shown again with Dr. Fate (Khalid Nassour) in the upper left-hand corner. Madame Xanadu and the House of Mystery guest star in this issue. This is sort of a throwback issue because Madame Xanadu tells a brief history of Jim Corrigan and the Spectre. Here is the official summary:
"VENGEANCE IS UPON THE JSA! The Spectre has taken hold of the JSA with one mission: find a new host! But as the JSA fight their former ally, they need to split up and get to the bottom of what has become of the spirit of vengeance!"

Science Fiction Saturday: Green Lantern Corps #16
DC Comics released Green Lantern Corps #16 earlier this week. I love the little figures of Green Lanterns Jessica Cruz and John Stewart in the upper left-hand corner. Here is the official summary:
"RAGE CONSUMES! As John Stewart recovers, Katma Tui and Soranik Natu survey the Korugar that’s survived a fractured spectrum and the rebirth of Parallax. Jessica Cruz tries to decide how to intervene in a conflict between two members of the former United Planets, a conflict Guy Gardner and his team were using to conceal their search for Butcher — the emotional entity of rage."
Bonus: This issue features a three page preview of Absolute Green Arrow #1 coming in May 2026.

Science Fiction Saturday: The Flash #28 Cover
For this week's Science Fiction Saturday post, I present to you the cover of The Flash #28 from DC Comics. The issue is a DC K.O. tie-in and features Jay Garrick the Golden Age Flash vs Green Lantern Guy Gardner. Interesting to see that both superheroes are fighting with swords.

Happy Thanksgiving from the Justice Society of America
The Justice Society of America wishes every one a safe and happy Thanksgiving. The Golden Age heroes in this group includes the Atom, Sandman, Spectre, Flash, Hawkman, Dr. Fate, Green Lantern and Hourman. I'm guessing Ma Hunkel aka the Red Tornado cooked the turkey much to Hawkman's dismay and is now in the kitchen cleaning up.

Black Canary: Best of the Best #4-6
Happy Mother's Day and we continue with a look at the Black Canary: Best of the Best mini-series from DC Comics. Issue four has a great cover featuring Dinah Lance aka Black Canary kissing Oliver Queen aka Green Arrow. The issue starts with Hal Jordan aka Green Lantern talking and having a beer with Oliver. The fight between Lady Shiva and Black Canary continues with round four. Ted Grant aka Wildcat is taken away in an ambulance after being beaten by Lady Shiva. There is a flashback with him introducing a young Dinah to Oliver in his gym and it did not go smoothly. In another flashback, Dinah is having shots with her mom as they talk about Ollie.
Both Black Canaries are in their costumes on the cover of issue five. This issue starts off with a flashback of the mother in a hospital bed with her daughter sitting nearby in a chair. In the present, found five of the battle between Lady Shiva and Black Canary starts. Flashback to both Black Canaries in costumes talking after taking down a purse snatcher. There are some great flashback scenes at the hospital. The first being Dinah and Ollie hugging in the waiting room. The second shows her hugging her mom in the hospital room.
The sixth and final issue of Black Canary: Best of the Best mini-series starts with Vandal Savage visiting the young Dinah in the hospital. She tells him that her mother is dying. They talk about his cure for her and how she has to take a dive in the sixth round. The fight between Lady Shiva and Black Canary continue with the former pulling the blonde wig off the latter. There is a flashback of young Dinah talking to herself and losing it. The end of the fight is epic but so is the aftermath.

DC vs. Vampires: World War V #8
I can't believe that Countdown to Halloween 2024 Day 15: DC vs. Vampires: World War V #3 was my last post about the horror series. DC vs. Vampires: World War V #8 is now out and the cover features Ra's al Ghul wearing Batman's costume. John Constantine joins several magic users trapped in the House of Mystery. Deadman possesses a baby and speaks to Ra's al Ghul aka BatGhul and Green Lantern Alfred Pennyworth.
This issue also features part one of "Wildcat: Going the Distance" as a backup story that finds Wildcat looking for his son, Tommy. This almost makes up for what happens to him in the current JSA issue.

Absolute Green Lantern #1
I read Absolute Green Lantern from DC Comics last night. Hal Jordan is not the ring bearer this time around. He is best friends with John Stewart and Sojourner "Jo" Mullein. Jo ends up becoming Green Lantern while Hal becomes the Black Hand (he's not called that, but he does have a black hand). Abin Sur appears briefly but I'm sure we'll see more of him in future issues (he's not wounded and looks very alien-like). Guy Gardner is mentioned by his first name, but you can kind of guess that's who they are talking about. An interesting beginning and I can't wait until the next issue.

DC Super Friends: Battle Below Children's Book
Streaky the Supercat, Supergirl, Superman and Hal Jordan aka Green Lantern is on the cover of DC Super Friends: Battle Below children's book. I found it on Monday at the local Dollar Tree and had to get it. The story was written by Steve Korte with illustrations by Erik Doescher, Mike DeCarlo and David Tanguay. The four DC Super Friends team up against Sinestro, Artocitus and his cat, Dex-Starr. Yes, that's one Green Lantern, one Yellow Lantern and two Red Lanterns. The story spotlights Streaky and the art is stylish for kids so overall it's a fun children's book.

DC Funko Kinder Joy Green Lantern Cell Phone Holder
The local Walmart's finally had a case of the DC Funko Kinder Joy eggs two weeks ago. I picked up two and got a Green Lantern cell phone holder and a mini Supergirl figure (I'll post about that one on another day). I picked up two last Saturday for they still had half a case. I ended up with a mini Batgirl figure (another post for another day) and another Green Lantern cell phone holder. I went back last Tuesday but they were all gone (they now have more of last year's Harry Potter Kinder Joy eggs). This was the John Stewart as Green Lantern, which is pretty cool (tip: it works better with two).
