Still slogging through the Ben Raab run on Green Lantern, we’re finally nearing the end in issue 174 of the book. Now that Salmon Shadowhawk, a.k.a. Vasquez, a.k.a. Green Lantern Kyle Rayner has ingratiated himself with Amon Sur and the Black Circle, you’d think he wouldn’t do something stupid like reveal his secret identity to the bounty hunter th…

In this latest episode of JUST ONE OF THE GUYS, we take a look at Green Lantern #173, part three of the “Wanted” storyline, wherein Strawberry Shadowhawk Kyle Rayner Vazquez Whatever finally infiltrates the Black Circle crime organization and reveals a look that even the 1990’s would be embarrassed by.

More pain is dealt out on today’s episode of JUST ONE OF THE GUYS, as we continue our look at the Ben Raab run on Green Lantern with issue 172 of the book.

Not even being in a remote location with no cell service and spotty wi-fi can stop me from bringing you the latest episode of JUST ONE OF THE GUYS: A GREEN LANTERN PODCAST. Although after finding out that the comic we are covering today, Green Lantern #170, is the four color equivalent of a clip show, you might have wished for the show to just slow…

Thanks everyone for downloading the latest episode of JUST ONE OF THE GUYS: A GREEN LANTERN PODCAST, the show determined enough to continue its premise of covering all of the Green Lantern comics from June 1990 until November 2004, even through the very contentious Ben Raab run on the book.

Ben Raab continues his run on Green Lantern with issue #167, part two of a story about “The Blind” a cosmic entity that likes to destroy suns, but is vastly different from the Sun Eater, I can certainly say that. Plus Kyle has to take on a female…male…I don’t know, the alien’s look is somewhat ambiguous version of Boba Fett. At least in that the ch…

Everything has changed again…except that it really hasn’t…all that much. Yes, I know that is a trite cliché, and I’m sorry I have to use it again, but things keep changing in the Green Lantern books, and so it also must on JUST ONE OF THE GUYS. This time out, in Green Lantern #165, the change is a new creative team in writer Ben Raab and artist Ric…

Oh dear Lord, is this how Judd Winick’s runn on Green Lantern is going to finish? Because if issue 161 of GREEN LANTERN is any indication, the writer who gave us the Power of Ion and Hate Crimes is just phoning it it. This time out on JUST ONE OF THE GUYS we get into an issue that wraps up Kyle tracking down an Amazon stripper with immeasurable pow…

Today on JUST ONE OF THE GUYS: A GREEN LANTERN PODCAST we continue out look through the Judd Winick era of Green Lantern with issue 160 of the book, where Kyle apparently tangles with a very large…ummm, adult entertainment provider.

After last week’s lackluster issue, can Judd Winick turn it around in GREEN LANTERN #159? The simple answer is…yes, yes he can.

In a completely coincidental way, today’s episode of JUST ONE OF THE GUYS: A GREEN LANTERN PODCAST has a connection to Tales of the Justice Society of America. What kind of connection, you may ask? Why, the resolution of last issue’s ending of Jenny curled up in the fetal position murmuring about someone going to kill her being a confrontation with…

It all…somethings…something…Man, I use that opener too often. But despite the overuse of labeling an issue a “game changer” or “a new beginning”, GREEN LANTERN #150 would definitely fall into that category. After only a few days of inheriting the immeasurable power of Ion, Kyle Rayner is at a crossroads. Does he continue to use his power to help pe…

You know, doing a show like JUST ONE OF THE GUYS: A GREEN LANTERN PODCAST can really be a chore sometimes. Especially when one of the books that you have to cover (because it ties in with later books) is Green Lantern:The Last Will and Testament of Hal Jordan.

Do you remember the final episode of M*A*S*H*? That part where Hawkeye (no, not that one) is talking with psychiatrst Sidney Freeman and realizes a horrible life altering trauma?

What if God was one of us? Just some stranger on a bus…trying to make…No, I’m not going to do a Joan Osbourne joke this early into the show notes. But that is the question at “Hand” (Get it? It’s part of the title of the comic.) for Kyle Rayner, the now near omnipotent being known as Ion. And in today’s book, Green Lantern #146, we see what Kyle wo…

Happy Boxing Day, lovely listeners, and thanks for spending your day off listening to Just One of the Guys: A Green Lantern Podcast.

“Comedy is when you fall down an open sewer and die…Tragedy is when I cut my finger” Or possibly tragedy is when you try do make a character as lame as Grayven do comedy on the latest episode of Just One the Guys.

Welcome to a very special episode of Just One of the Guys: A Green Lantern Podcast. And no, I’m sorry to report that doesn’t mean we talk about menstruation (thank goodness).

In a brand new episode of Just One of the Guys, we continue our look at Kyle Rayner’s run in the title with issue 140, a little story called “Alpha-Male Bonding”. And given a title like that, the fact that we get a Boy Dance Party, two grown men tussling, and an incredibly hot girl who doesn’t actually exist would lead you to believe that the book …

Not even Tucks Medicated Pads could stop the Circle of Fire on this week’s episode, as we are continuing our look at that series with Green Lantern/Power Girl #1.
