Green Lantern

If you're up to speed with Blackest Night and now Brightest Day, Green Lantern: Emerald Warriors is really quite good.

Similarly, Justice League: Generation Lost (a Brightest Day spin off) is excellent too. Genuinely good stuff.

I'm really, really enjoying Batman at the moment. Final Crisis, Batman R.I.P., Batman and Robin, The Return of Bruce Wayne are great (but bonkers) and Batman Inc. looks like it'll be really interesting.
 
I haven't read any of the Blackest Night ones yet as i am waiting for the #1-14 to come through so i can read it all the way to #60. Then i will have to have a look at the dedicated Blackest Night series.

I was thinking of starting to read Captain America, but seeing as it is #600 + in i though against it.

As I understand it, they just renumbered the issues of volume 5 because it was the 600th issue across all the series. Volume 5 is actually only 50 odd issues in, and most of the run is collected into some stunning Omnibus hardbacks.

It's a superb series, and is well worth your time.
 
Theres rumours bound there tweaking GLs cgi suit but will see, next superman director is also considering doing a cgi suit also....

I think it looks iffy also so hopefully it looks way more realistic once out.

Captain america is perhaps the top most anticipated film of 2011 along with thor... oddly reboot Xmen 1st class is somewhere far down that list.

That's cool, as long as you start reading Blackest Night from GL #43. You can acquire all the tie in's through various other means. I wouldn't recommend buying them all because, well, that'll cost a bloody fortune! Brightest Day follows Blackest Night #14 and GL #53.

And it's good to keep up to speed on The Flash because as soon as Brightest Day ends, Geoff Johns' next crossover is Flashpoint and will continue on from Brightest Day, making The Flash the focal point of DCU.

Seriously, Batman R.I.P. is worth following. You only need to start reading it from The Black Glove storyline and follow it up to present day.

EDIT: As an aside, Marvel haven't done anything worth reading since Civil War, in my opinion. Their best writers have creator owned series outside of Marvel and it appears that by showing these creator owned titles all their love, their work on crossovers/events has become very poor. Which is a shame, really.

Mark Millar and Brian Michael Bendis are two good writers, but each of them have at least one other title outside of Marvel (Kick-Ass and Powers respectively being the best) which has lead to some very poor events over the past few years. Hell, Civil War was a rubbish crossover. By relying on rubbish writers like Greg Pak and Jeph Leob Marvel have been putting out some pretty poor content for a good four years or so now.

Thanks very much Woody. I will definitely have a look ans the Blackest Night ones and i will have a look around for the Batman ones that you mentioned, too.

Cheers!
 
I've previously seen a few different versions of the HD trailer which looks okay. Seems to have a comedic twang to it probably on the same lines as Fantastic four.

Seem to be quite a few superhero films coming out. Seen too much of Thor and have to say it's looking a bit stale now (even though he was my fave Marvel charatcer when I was a kid).
Captain America looks okay.


I get my trailers from hd-trailers.net
 
Can't take this one serious. Ryan Reynolds has become a bit of a joke with his crappy little wise cracks all the time. Noticed it in X-Men and it didn't suit the film at all.
 
As a huge Green Lantern fan that really wants this to be good, I'm not at all shocked at the critical mauling it's getting given how terrible it looks.

Oh well.
