I really like the costume in general, but from a design standpoint you never want to have yellow gloves if your fist glows yellow as well. There’s not enough contrast to create a sufficiently brilliant lighting effect. Gil Kane knew what the hell he was doing when he made Hal Jordan’s gloves white.

Hehe...I also though “Axe Gang”. Not sure the Iron Fist can match up with the Buddha’s Palm, though.

This is a good list. I’d add:

Just to reinforce what you’ve said, I spoke with one of the curators once and literally 95% of the Met’s collection is in storage.

If you own a team for 30+ years, it gets you in the Hall of Fame. Think about this: Dan Snyder will one day be in the Football Hall of Fame. Dan Snyder.

Static’s costume was highly influenced by Black Lightning’s, which in turn was modeled after that of Lightning Lad and Lass from the Legion of Super-Heroes. Blue, black, yellow, and white are kind of the signature colors for DC’s electric heroes.

My mom bought me this comic book when I was eight. It was the first time I’d ever been in a direct market comic book store;they barely existed back then and like you I bought most of my comics off a spinner rack. It’s one of my favorite memories. I can’t remember why she picked this particular book out, though.

I did too! And then I read the next line after the first block quote in his voice as well because it seemed so appropriate:

“The future still sounds pretty cool!”

You made it flip people off, didn’t you.

Well I wouldn’t generalize quite so much, but sure, I have no problem with incredibly wealthy people who pander to dictators who make Trump look like an enlightened and benevolent saint having some of their property non-violently stolen from them.

You’re thinking of Lucy Lawless.

Yeah, tell that to the people of Angola. Nicki Minaj can get fucked.

The novels aren’t canon.

Somewhat off-topic: having seen this gag in cartoons for many years, as a kid I once tried stepping on a rake just to see if it would work. It does! Surprisingly well! (Yes, it also hurts...)

Let’s not forget that the Emperor also calls Luke a Jedi (“So be it, Jedi.”). If Yoda and Palpatine, two of the greatest Jedi and Sith of all time, say you’re a Jedi, you’re a Jedi.

Seriously. It’s “unload”, right? One unloads a dishwasher. I don’t think I’ve ever heard “unpack”.

I bought the widescreen “Definitive Edition” trilogy on laserdisc...it was actually the first thing I bought in that format and one of the major reasons I bought a laserdisc player (the other being anime, which was an early adopter of the medium at least for US releases).

I grew up with Hal, too, and in the early eighties GL was probably my favorite hero as well. But John Stewart is my Green Lantern now.
