Not only is Tom Kalmaku not the last of the New Guardians, he's not even the most appropriate to be a conduit between The Green and the Green Lanterns. Floronic Man would have been a much more interesting choice. Also, not a family man like Tom.

There was a time in the #90s when a civil war between Lanterns and/or the Guardians was considered not a big enough story. Now it's been the crux of the majority of #GreenLantern stories of the last 20 years.

A really interesting commission. Ernie Colon frequently destroyed his original art, but someone fished this torn up unused cover art out of the trash decades ago. Pieces were missing. I was asked to draw in the missing pieces in Ernie's style. I think I matched it pretty well!

That's the 1100 block of Market Street in Philadelphia; David Byrne is town for a three-night visit. #NoKings
The only thing less interesting to me than another Earth human #GreenLantern is canonizing a reason for so many Earth human Green Lanterns...

Kudos to #MarvelComics, the creators & editor Wil Moss for ending the current #UltimateUniverse on a high note, on their terms. Hope everyone enjoys the rest of their story.

THREAD!

Okay, the End of the Ultimate Universe (from my perspective):

It’s true that the original plan was not to “end” the universe. A lot of my run is setting up characters I hoped would go on past me, I think I’ve made that clear and obvious.

BUT

I enjoyed #Peacemaker S2 overall. As I have the other new #DCU #DCStudios installments, but they're not building the kind of #DCUniverse that would get me excited for what's next.

I liked them as well. The Justice Society as a whole was pretty solid. I thought they deserved another go around.
Fine casting, although Terrific's apparatus was embarrassing looking. It's just not a version of the Justice League that is compelling to me. Especially as the first super team of this #DCU. I'm glad you're digging it. Maybe I'll find a corner of it that speaks to me soon enough.

100% - and Creature Commandos gets really good after episode 2, I think because he stops trying to be shocking and tells the story. Again, we know he can do it! He doesn't have to be edgy!
I'm right there with ya. Can't even watch the cartoon!
The Bizarro part is we know Gunn can make a good accessible superhero franchise cause he already has.
Oh. I'm with you there. Definitely not looking for grim n gritty. Some straight forward superheroics true to the characters and concepts they're based on.
And I'm sure I'm not the first to say this, but bookending #Superman between two mature audience shows is a questionable launch strategy. Excluding a passionate portion of the audience from being able to immediately dive deeper into the canon.

Will I watch them? Most likely. Am I excited for them? No. Lanterns would have the most interest.
And my issue isn't with casting which generally has been quite strong. Costuming as well.

Jeremy Adams has plans for Hawkwoman, Hawkman, and Thanagar. He's just waiting for the green light from DC Comics.
It's been five years since we had a good Hawk-comic, @dc.com.
How about it, DC?
Came across a video of Jeremy Adams talking about Hawkman and Hawkwoman! It's all in the first 5 minutes.
