Some of the new DC 52 have been amazing and if you like comics I suggest you pick up swamp thing and animal man. BTW Green Lantern 0 was actually a pretty good book. Also comic sales went up from 2010-2011 and 2012 is on pace to be better than 2011.

Too bad the Green Lantern history/story goes completely the other way than Islam… He would be beheaded by his own kind lol

I just looked up Jack T. Chance's bio on Wikipedia. Turns out he's much smarter than our friend Mr. Baz. Chance used a firearm to either a) get around the Ring's prohibition on killing sentient beings (a restriction that our good friend Mr. Johns is actually responsible for rescinding so it clearly no longer applies) and b) because his Ring did not work on the yellow color spectrum (another aspect that does not apply to Mr. Baz or any other Green Lantern these days, again courtesy of Mr. Johns). So basically Jack Chance only used his gun to murder people or when his Ring's weakness was present; otherwise he used the Ring. So once again, why is Baz using a .45 caliber handgun rather than the most powerful weapon in the universe? The answer is simple: he is a weak-willed fool who can't control his Ring. Johns is doing Arab-Americans no favors at all.

Detroit has historically provided the three worst members of the Justice League of America: Steel, a WASP-y cyborg; Gypsy, a well, woman of Romani descent; and Vibe a walking, talking '80's stereotype. What was Vibe's superpower? Super Breakdancing. He could breakdance so fast that he generated powerful shockwaves. We can now add one of the more idiotic members of the (once proud) Green Lantern Corps to the list of D-list members of the JLA from Detroit. In his defense, Mr. Baz is not the first Green Lantern to have a criminal background (unusual enough in an inter-galactic law enforcement agency), nor is he the first to use a sidearm rather than the all powerful Green Lantern Ring he was issued by the Corps. The last one at least had an excuse: 1) it was the '90's and he wanted to be just like Lobo; 2) his sidearm was an energy blaster not a handgun. This character is not doing the Arab-American cause any favors when he makes Guy Gardner look like a member of Mensa. (For those of you who do not know who Guy Gardner is, go order this.) Just shameful what the JLA and the Corps have come to. By contrast, the Muslim members of the X-men are not complete idiots.
