Episode 171: The Replacements - Green Lantern (Pt. 4; Simon Baz and Jessica Cruz)

Finally finishing up the Green Lantern “Replacements” episodes with the New 52 recruits of Simon Baz and Jessica Cruz.  But, before we get to those, one last bit of business from the Loki Season 2 Deep Dive, thanks to a listener comment.

“Hi, Loki!”

The gun was an identifying feature for a little while.

Hey, look ma! Character growth!

Jessica in her “Power Ring” costume.

And in her (much happier) Green Lantern outfit. She kept the eye tattoo, however.

Episode 170: The Replacements - Green Lantern (Pt. 3; Kyle Rayner and Jade)

After a bit of a hiatus, we continue the discussion of Green Lantern “Replacements,” getting into the 90s with one of the longest running replacements, Kyle Rayner, as well as the woman who briefly took his place, daughter of original Green Lantern Alan Scott, Jade.  (If you haven’t listened already, I suggest checking Episode 71 for discussion of Kyle’s first girlfriend, Alex DeWitt).

Ladies and gentlemen…Crab-Faced Guy!

One of Kyle’s different looks as “Ion.”

Don’t make her angry. You wouldn’t like her when she’s angry. Wait a second…

Better than your boyfriend…at least in my opinion.

Episode 162: The Replacements - Green Lantern (Pt. 1; Guy Gardner)

Continuing our ongoing “Replacements” feature, this is the first part of the Green Lantern franchise.  Even with only covering those that directly replaced Hal Jordan, we’re still going to need multiple shows to discuss all the successors to the mantle, and what happened to them when Hal inevitably returned.  We start with the first of those, Guy Gardner, a polarizing figure to say the least.

Ironically, he’s actually very nice in his first appearance, despite this cover.

Any man who dares walk the streets with that haircut has to be tough…

One of (a few) stints as a Red Lantern…

…or, in one case, a hybrid Green/Red (wouldn’t that be brown?).

My personal favorite Guy Gardner moment.
