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 people in unbelievable ways, including making an attempt at doing what Hal Jordan planned on doing in Emerald Twilight? Or does he use his powers for a greater good to suit the universe as a whole? It's one of the highpoints of the Judd Winick run, and the very first comic bought by my very special guest host, Emily Middleton (Uncovering the Bronze Age and The Shortbox Showcase) who assured me there would be "consequences" if she wasn't allowed on the show to discuss it. Philosophy is discussed, theology tackled, and parenting issues are examined in our look at one of the best Green Lantern comics written. So what are you waiting for? Grab your mp3 player of choice, download the show, and get to listening! *Special thanks to Chad Bokelman (The Lanterncast) for the design of the new logo.Feedback for this show can be sent to: justoneoftheguyspodcast@gmail.comJust One Of The Guys is a proud member of the Two True Freaks!

Circle of Fire burns on over here at Just One of the Guys, as we take a look at the first crossover issue of the title, Green Lantern and Adam Strange. The hero of Rann and the speedster Lantern, Green Lightning, have to overcome their self doubt in order to save Rann from destroying itself. Plus we get more burning going on over in Green Lantern #133 as Alex Nero, the ring wielding psychopath, plans on unleashing his hellish constructs on New York City in general and Alan Scott in particular.

This time around Shag and Rob welcome special guest and fellow podcaster, Professor Alan Middleton! Alan co-founded with his daughter the Relatively Geeky Network, the internet home of The Quarter-Bin Podcast, Uncovering the Bronze Age, and the Shortbox Showcase. He's also a regular on the Book Guys Show. Alan is internationally renowned for his affection of cheap comic books! So this episode we're celebrating the discount bins! Quarter bins, fifty-cent boxes, dollar comics... whatever you call them, we love 'em!

Hello out there, denizens of the inter-webs, and thank you for downloading and listening to another awesome episode of Just One of the Guys, the greatest Green Lantern podcast that isn't The LanternCast...or the Green Lantern Corps...or Green Lantern's Light. This time out, we're continuing our look at the Green Lantern comics that feature Jenny Lynn Hayden/Jade as Earth's Green Lantern as we review Green Lantern #110, another Green Lantern/Green Arrow crossover. But with a twist! And the twist isn't that Conner is having to deal with Jenny as Green Lantern...no, the twist it that Green Arrow really is kind of secondary to the story. In fact, except for some "deus ex archery" he really doesn't play much of a role in the book, as this is essentially a wrap up story for the "Heart of Darkness" storyline. Not one of the best GL/GA team-ups from this era. But all the bad is more than balanced out by the Chuck Dixon penned prestige format book "The New Corps", wherin Kyle heads off into space in attempt to recruit...wait for it...a new Green Lantern Corps! And as usual, Dixon delivers an engaing story filled with action, whimsy, and incredibly fun characters. Plus the art by Scott Eaton is a nice change from the awkwardness of the Green Lantern issue. And as an added bonus, I was lucky enough to have Emily Middleton, host of Uncovering the Bronze Age and co-host of the Shortbox Showcase over at The Relatively Geeky Podcast Network, come on to help cover these issues. Seriously, I thought a Green Arrow/Green Lantern crossover would work with her show about the Bronze Age...how wrong I was. Regardless, you need to grab your mp3 player of choice, download the show, and get to listening!Feedback for this show can be sent to: justoneoftheguyspodcast@gmail.comJust One Of The Guys is a proud member of the Two True Freaks!

In this latest ball-immolating episode, Magnus kicks the tires on Sandman Mystery Theatre 1-4 written by Matt Wagner with art by Guy Davis. It's a sordid tale of kidnapping, murder and incest. As if all that wasn't cool enough, it's also the first Vertigo title this podcast has ever discussed. Probably. Truth is we're too lazy to double-check.So. Sandman Mystery Theatre. What worked? What didn't? Is SMT a celebration of Wesley Dodds or a brand new character given an old character's name? There's only one way to find out! And that one way is to listen!All this, plus more listener e-mail too! This week's response comes from the pen (yes, he handwrites everything) of Professor Alan of the Quarter-Bin and Shortbox Showcase podcasts from the Relatively Geeky Network.If you're not convinced yet, you may as well give up and listen to boring NPR or something because this podcast episode to end all podcast episodes will rip your face off, glue it back on and rip it off again. You will need a new pair of underwear by the time the episode's over. Satisfaction guaranteed!Do you have a suggestion for a topic? Feel free to e-mail me at trentusmagnus@gmail.com and I might consider thinking about the possibility of potentially discussing whatever you have in mind some day. And that's a promise!Feedback for this and any other episode may be sent to trentusmagnus@gmail.com.
