Geekscape Comics: ‘Superman’ Gets New Creative Team. ‘Green Lantern’…Gets A Gun?
Over the past week a flood of the covers of DC’s “zero issues” have hit the web. Some good. Some bad. Well here we have an example of both.
The good.
The Huffington Post is reporting that ‘Superman’ will be getting a new creative team in the form of writer Scott Lobdell (‘Teen Titans’) and artist Kenneth Rocafort (‘Red Hood And The Outlaws’). While I don’t read ‘Superman’ myself.. this is definite good news for this book. However bad news for my love of ‘Red Hood And The Outlaws’. Once again DC…you’ve done me wrong.
The bad.
Well, now I don’t even know what to say here. Why would a character that can create anything from his imagination (including a gun) be carrying a gun? This ‘Green Lantern’ number zero cover features a new GL rocking some form of s&m/ ‘Kick Ass’/wrestler fusion type outfit and holding…well, a gun.
He also has a very noticable tattoo on his forearm. Bleeding Cool has translated the tattoo. It reads: “Courage, Bravery, Valor, Guts, Prowess and Spunk”.
Uh…what? Okay DC. You have me lost on this one even.
