The War Heats Up in Green Lantern 65

This week we were treated to a great one-two punch of the War of the Green Lanterns with the release of parts four and five, bringing up half-way into the crossover.  Part four takes place in Green Lantern #65 with the cover revealing how Hal Jordan deals with not being able to use his Green Lantern power ring.  I'm not thrilled when a cover spoils an issue, but I have to admit that it is a striking image that catches the eye and it isn't a surprise that Hal is wearing a Sinestro Corps ring.

The Story - 

On Oa Krona is interrogating Kilowog, trying to discover why he wasn't take over by Parallax when he was returned to the Central Power Battery.  A little mental probing by the Maltusan reveals the events of Green Lantern: Rebirth, providing both Krona and any newer readers some background information.  Kilowog isn't able to resist the influence of the fear entity a second time when Krona puts a power ring back on his hand and the proximity to Parallax proves too much for him.

New Green Lantern Movie Footage Stuns WonderCon Audiences

After what seems like an eternity Green Lantern fans have something to really get excited about as more polished images and footage have been released by Warner Brothers to kick the advertising for the movie into high gear.  The ten minutes of footage shown at CinemaCon were shown at the Green Lantern panel at WonderCon this past weekend followed by the studio released a high resolution image of the film's official movie poster and four minutes of the footage shown at WonderCon on the Internet.

What amounts to an extended length trailer has turned a lot of anxiety created by the first trailer last November into full blown geek excitement.  Besides the fact that yesterday was my wife's birthday and she takes priority before writing for the site, I found myself in a position where I couldn't focus on putting words on the screen for an article.  So before I start talking about it, if you haven't seen the footage yet, here it is:

More Green Lantern Alien Images Hit the Net

Pietro Filipponi over at Comicbookmovie.com strikes yet again with more images that may very well represent the final designs for several of the alien Green Lanterns we will see in the upcoming live action motion picture.  Recently Pietro released an image of Bzzd and Kilowog that lit message boards up all across the Internet.  Tonight's pictures represent some of the best known and loved members of the Corps.

 

Realize that while these images are not high resolution renders, they do represent a very good idea of what these characters may look like in the finished film.  It is notable that there is black in  most of these Green Lantern uniforms, so it is likely that Hal's uniform will as well, hopefully putting to rest some of the concerns that have arisen amongst the fan base about the look of Hal in the movie since the Entertainment Weekly article hit the stands weeks ago.

In order to preserve the integrity of the movie for those who do not want to see them, I am putting them directly after the jump, so do not click on the button to reveal more if you do not want to see the images.  I'm also including the previously released images and a few concept images of Oa and the Central Power Battery.
