Geeking Out

I don't usually talk about comics on my blog (even though it is a requirement for my job to read them now) but this one was too cool to pass up.

For year, the comic book super-heroes always said "Man, we'd be screwed if these jackholes ever got organized." There have been lame attempts over the years. The Legion of DOOM. The Sinister Syndicate. The Frightful Four. But DC finally hit gold (yellow, to be precise) with the Sinestro Corps. The first issue came out last week and it's a great read.

Take the biggest, baddest bastards in the DC Universe, plop them in the anti-matter universe, and give them all a Yellow Power ring as equally powerful as the Green Lantern's ring and you've got one helluva set up. I'll leave out the big surprise at the end in case anyone wants to read it. Honorable mention goes to Green Lantern #17 when a yellow ring "chose" Batman because of his ability to "instill great fear". Man, great stuff. This is why I keep reading. Well, that and the tax write-off.
