Green Lantern #47
- Title: Green Lantern #47
- Comic Vine: link
- Writer: Robert Venditti
- Artist: Martin Coccolo
The latest issue of Green Lantern takes a break from Hal Jordan‘s space adventures and his investigation into the disappearance of the Green Lantern Corps as Hal returns home for some momentary rest and relaxation with his family. That isn’t the only surprise in the issue as writer Robert Venditti not only provides some local trouble for Jordan to solve but also reveals the identity of the villain lurking just behind-the-scenes.
I’ve actually enjoyed Green Lantern’s return to more space-centric title, but Green Lantern #47 works in allowing Hal to reconnect with his family (and get a much needed makeover). I expect the trouble at the fair to wrap up quickly. The bigger issue for our hero is the appearance of Parallax whose existence creates all kinds of questions (I’m guessing this is some sort of fallout from DC’s Convergence storyline). Whatever the cause, an universe with both a good and evil lanterned-powered Hal Jordan probably spells trouble for everyone involved.

The Wrecking Crew
- Title: The Wrecking Crew
- IMDb: link
Filled with interviews, classic clips, stills, and tunes, the documentary from director Denny Tedesco (whose father was part of the group now known as “The Wrecking Crew”) takes a look back at the Los Angeles studio and session musicians that played anonymously on many records in the 1960s for The Beach Boys, Phil Spector, Frank Sinatra, Sonny & Cher, Bing Crosby, Elvis, The Monkees, Nancy Sinatra, Bobby Vee, the Partridge Family, David Cassidy, Jan & Dean, the Mamas & the Papas, the 5th Dimension, the Association, the Carpenters, Glen Campbell, Cher, John Denver, Simon & Garfunkel, the Grass Roots, and Nat King Cole.
Likely more appealing to music geeks than those not already interested in the topic, the documentary includes a great collection of music while discussing the unheralded studio musicians who helped create the songs. Available on Blu-ray and DVD, The Wrecking Crew includes over six hours of outtakes from musicians, artists, engineers, and producers, additional music, and more.
