Green Lantern #10
- Title: Green Lantern #10
- Comic Vine: link
- Writer: Geoff Johns
- Artist: Doug Mahnke
With the Indigo Tribe released from the control of their shattered Power Battery, and with only a minimal charge left in their rings, Hal Jordan and Sinestro find themselves running for their lives from a group of the universes most deadly and dangerous killers.
“The Secret of the Indigo Tribe” concludes with the return of the status quo. Black Hand is able to escape the Tribe for an alternative as his death gives birth the New 52‘s first Black Lantern. Hopefully this won’t mean the return of other zombie members of its Corps as we really, really don’t need to relive Blackest Day in the New 52.
I’m pretty sure that Black Lanterns weren’t at (or anywhere near) the top of the list of what DC’s reboot was missing, but it looks like they’re back. The comic does give us some more strong interplay with Sinestro and Hal as well show us how much Sinestro respects Hal’s ability and bravery (regardless of what he may say to the Earthman’s face). Worth a look.

Rock of Ages
- Title: Rock of Ages
- IMDB: link
Brought from Broadway to the silver screen by director Adam Shankman and screenwriters Justin Theroux, Chris D’Arienzo, and Allan Loeb, Rock of Ages is a celebration of classic 1980’s rock that gives us the story of a small town girl (Julianne Hough) and a city boy raised in south Detroit (Diego Boneta) whose paths cross in a famous Hollywood bar on the Sunset Strip known as The Bourbon Room.
Adapted from the Broadway musical of the same name, the film makes both big and small changes in regards to both characters and music.
For two-hours the script weaves Drew (Boneta) and Sherrie (Hough), and countless supporting characters, through a story built on the back of several 80’s hits from the likes of Journey, Foreigner, Pat Benatar, Bon Jovi, Whitesnake, Def Leppard, Night Ranger, Warrant, Poison, Guns N’ Roses, Twisted Sister, and REO Speedwagon which the characters not only perform, but live.

Fairest #4
- Title: Fairest #4
- Comic Vine: link
- Writer: Bill Willingham
- Artist: Phil Jimenez
Fairest‘s opening tale of Ali Baba, Briar Rose, and the Snow Queen continues with Jonah Panghammer continuing his tale of Briar Rose’s birth and cluing the Snow Queen in on a couple of facts she may have overlooked.
There’s an interesting moment, as the imp is regaling the Snow Queen with the tale of Ali Baba, where writer Bill Willingham suggests why Ali Baba is the world’s greatest thief when he could have simply stayed a hero. Inserting an idea, like the Laws of Consensus Reality, seamlessly into the main story is what Fables is known for, as well as throwing you a curve just when you think you’ve got the story figured out. And we get both here.
Although we’ll have to wait a month until next month’s conclusion, all the groundwork has been laid, including the suggestion of with whom our hero will find true happiness. Worth a look.
