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 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).

Kyle Chandler Cast as Hal Jordan in HBO's Green Lantern Series
According to HBO's Green Lantern Finally Casts Hal Jordan, Kyle Chandler will be playing Hal Jordan. You may know him from Early Edition and Friday Night Lights. They are still searching for a younger actor that will be cast as John Stewart.

McFarlane Toys Super Powers Green Lantern John Stewart
I broke down and picked up the McFarlane Toys Super Powers Green Lantern John Stewart action figure from 2022 this past Tuesday. The local Walmart's had him on clearance for six dollars. I still have my Kenner Super Powers Green Lantern Hal Jordan but he's loose and has no power battery. I might keep John Stewart in the package.

DC Power #1 Cover
February is Black History Month and DC Comics released DC Power #1 yesterday. On the cover are eight black superheroes in the DC Universe. There are ten stories in this anthology one-shot special. First up is "Enduring Farewells" featuring Green Lanterns John Stewart and Jo Mullein. Next is "The Spice of Life" featuring Black Lightning's daughters Thunder and Lightning (Steel and his daughter are guest stars). Raphael Arce aka Bloodwynd aka the Superman from Hell stars int he third story titled "Pit Stop" (this one is my favorite). "Pure Blackness" features Calvin Ellis aka the black Superman of Earth-2. The fifth story is titled "Lost at Sea" and features Black Manta. Crispus Allen aka the Spectre stars in "The Session" (Renee Montoya aka the Question guest stars making this my second favorite story). "The Natural Order" sees Nubia helping Mr. Mxyzptlk. Kid Flash is featured in "Jump Shots and Loose Watts" (Red Arrow appears towards the end). Mister Terrific is the focus of "Fair Play." The Signal fights Chronus and takes a trip to the future in "The Light That Shines" (my third favorite story). As an added bonus, there are Who's Who files on Val-Zod (Calvin Ellis), Black Manta, the Spectre, Mister Terrific and the Signal. Overall, this was an enjoyable special collection of stories.
