Hal Jordan and The Green Lantern Corp #16 Storytime

In which Guy is Invincible.

I love that both the regular cover and the variant are Guy getting wrecked.

Me neither.

Thanks for reading. Support the official release!

I'm not saying this wasn't cool, but why exactly did Guy decide to beat the absolute shit out of Arkillo?

to prove he was the best.

Did he think someone was convinced he wasn't? Did he have something out for Arkillo? Or did he just suddenly say "I'm going to go beat the living tits off of Arkillo. Hold my ring, bitch."

>"I'm going to go beat the living tits off of Arkillo. Hold my ring, bitch."
pretty much.

>Walker asks Arkillo what happened to his eye
>Walker nervously looks at Guy
>Guy shakes his head
>Arkillo: I fell down some space stairs.

didn't arkillo fight fucking mongul without a ring and actually put up a good fight?. one punch would have ripped guy's head off

>tried to fight the OG Yellow Lantern

Come on, Arkillo. Pick your battles.

I thought he was from boston

Once, while they were still dating, Guy cheated on Ice. He didn't know that she knew that he did.

So when she was giving him the usual five-fingered tunnel tug, the euphoric experience went from feeling great to feeling like nothing at all. Guy looked down and saw that she had frozen his entire package.

Ice was real sweet about it, told him that she knew he had cheated on her, but she wasn't mad. Not anymore. And she was quite careful in her ministrations. In about three days, it'd thaw by its own and he'd be none the worse for wear. If he were to say, nudge it, even a little bit, even with his ring it would either shatter or be irreparably damaged. Such was the precision and intelligence invested into this vengeance. So Guy stood there. Butt naked, hungry, and slowly succumbing to dehydration for 72 hours just so his huevos wouldn't fall off.

tl;dr Guy is a tough guy.

So does Guy have Warrior genes going on right now?

Did he drink warrior water?

You're not from Baltimore

So does Guy have some kind of super strength or invulnerability I don't know about? Was Arkillo nerfed recently? Or was this just the most ridiculous example of Guy-wank to date?

The answer is THIS GUY.
THIS GARDNER.

Arkillo's always been a little bitch. Literally Kilowog-lite.

he theoretically shouldnt anymore, but its not like any of that shit has been used in quite some time, so theres no reason it couldnt come back

The booze bottle is called Charm City, the place Powerless tv show takes place.

Walker doesn't know Guy?

Just settle for one fucking version of Guy's family, DC, this is like the third one since 2011 alone

I fucking love Guy Gardner

Jesus Christ!

Interesting to know where the artists of Invincible went.

All the hints of "warrior" T-shirt could imply that Guy is still a Vuldarian and that that wasn't retconned.

How can one man be so based?

Anyone mind explaining the Guy Gardner: Warrior stuff they seem to maybe be hinting at? Al I know is that he at one stage had the ability to turn into an alien or something?

Yay, more "humans are awesome, aliens are pathetic" nonsense. This is why it's so difficult for me to remain interested in GL shit...all these cool alien characters, but they all end up bowing down to the almighty four of Earth.

I could only IMAGINE the shitstorm if it was Batman who beat up Arkillo instead of Guy (who, by the way, 1-hit KO'd Guy).

Why are you offended that Humans are being potrayed better than Aliens? Are you an alien?

You know, we can sit and talk about how Arkillo must have been nerfed to shit, how this is Guywank of the highest level, and so on and so forth. But goddamn do I love it when a comic is just one big fight from cover to cover, and this one delivered

>fanny
>fanny
FANNY

Arkillo just can't catch a break ;_;

>But goddamn do I love it when a comic is just one big fight from cover to cover, and this one delivered
Venditti's pacing is bad enough already and as nice as the art is there was zero plot progression

>Guy dies
>his ring goes to Kyle

>mfw

O fucking love Guy Gardner, I REALLY do

But that was some god damn bullshit.

Those flight paths look really nice

Guys, relax; he's been training since all it took was ONE PUNCH for Batman.

Guy is cray cray and fighting a dangerous alien with his bare fists because he's that much of a mad man. Also not fully human, probably.

....yeah. I feel like my post kind of covers that I wasn't bothered by that.

Nice cover.

Nice variant.

>wearing his Warrior t-shirt

How many people even caught that reference?

This is a badass page.

Yeah, Guy is a pretty cool dude.

OW!

AAAAAARRRRRRREEEEEE YYYYOOOOUUUU FFFUUUCCKKKIIINNNGGGG KIDDING ME!?!

...

This is going to come up in "favorite scenes" threads forever on this board.

Thanks, OP.

this was total guywank, but I'm okay with it because I'm a guyfag.

>he thinks aliens fun post on a malaysian embroidering board

Why would we go a million light years to do that?

>Venditti wrote that

Man how does DC get the best of people?

Jesus, how many body parts has Arkillo lost now? His tongue, an eye, and a few fingers?

I feel so bad for writers who get bad reps when coming up because they don't get to tell the kinds of stories they want how they want.

Vendetti is obviously having a blast Post-Rebirth and I can't imagine he didn't want to do a comic like this before.

Editorial counts for so much, but the writers are always going to catch the heat when they're doing their best with shitty direction/hamfisting.

Venditti's GL was terrible with maybe two good issues out of thirty+

You can only blame editorial for so much

Except here we are...

It's not like he moved to Superman. It's the same property. Editorial is the only thing that has changed.

Jesus

Good, I'm glad they took his family back to the way it was. Copying the O'Dares and making them all cops really cuts out all of Guys personality/issues.

Thanks for the storytime, OP. Guy's the best.

Naw, he's always been from Baltimore.

Guy

I've been enjoying GLC this run but I haven't checked out the other comic with Gun Lantern and the girl, is it any good?

Damit your're a surgon. Juast make a light defribilator or something

It got good after the Red Tower Arc.

I dont have a problem with Guy kicking Arkillo's ass desu. If Hal can beat up Kilowog why not Guy with Arkillo

Charm City is also Baltimore's nickname.

Cool how they brought Robert Kirkman in to write this sequence.

Not nearly enough murder or mustaches.

Vuldarians were a species of ultimate warriors and they seeded different planets with their genetics to keep their species from dying out. Used to be that Guy Gardner was a Vuldarian/human hybrid, which gave him specialised shapeshifting powers. He could basically weaponise himself, turn his arms into guns and shit like that.

It was a fun run, but weird. Pretty sure it got retconned out later on during one of Guy's background reboots, so who knows if it's still a thing.

Is this the same Arkillo who can rip people in half with his bare hands? The one that had a knock-down, drag-out fight with fucking Mongul, and is supposedly one of the most brutal and fearsome creatures in the universe?

Bull-fucking-shit. This is god-tier level jobbing.

And the teeth on display are too nice. Even Arkillo's. And where are all the rapist fat chicks?

It never got retconned that it didn't happen, just that he got 'cured' when Rebirth happened and he became a GL again.

Didn't Hal have the gauntlet? Not quite the same as bare hands

It was still canonical during the first lantern stuff

GL stuff in general has had very little retcons compared to most comics. It's nice.

I'm always hoping for some sort of new Guy Gardner: Warrior event or mini.

How do Guy bros feel about giving him a sidecut? Or is that more a high and tight? EIther way, it beats the shit out of the crew cut he had for the longest time. I can actually imagine him as a live action character now.

When people ask for a single page to sum up Guy, I think we got ourselves a new contender.

Guy will be fine, right?

>Mfw Guy finds Sinestro's ring and becomes leader of the Yellow Corps

How do you reckon Sinestro will come back anyway or is he dead for good? I kind of want him to stay dead since it would cement that Hal has finally conquered fear and triumphed over it.

>Guy's gonna die! We neede to stop this!!!!
>Oh shit Guy's winning let's see where this goes

Typical Green Nazi cunts

Specifically, Rebirth claimed that his Vuldarian DNA was actually a virus.
