Here's the previews: http://news.yahoo.com/green-lantern-rel ... 52544.html

Alan and his partner marry and decide to foster two teenage orphans. The pair are quite troubled due to their years in foster care and eventually run away, running afoul of some supervillain in the process. Alan shows up to save the day, but in the course of the fight his powers run out of control, with Jade and Todd caught in the conflagration. Afterwards, they begin to exhibit their own abilities.

This is truly a great day for gay people who love egregiously-bad comic book dialogue writing everywhere!

If I knew how, I would like to erase ALL the dialogue from that preview and ask you, Starlord, and maybe Thunderstorm to each submit new word balloons and then we could all vote on them.

I think this idea would be awesome!



Lol no kidding. What happened to good Robinson?

Do yourself a favor and pick up as many back issues of the current Shade mini-series as you possibly can before the next issue comes out. That is a perfect answer to your question.

Considering one of the last things DC did in the old universe was kill Alan Scott in JSA -- yeah, I know, me and five other people read that -- even being alive enough to have a sexuality is a good start.

Cut them some slack. It won't be long before they introduce Earth 69 and everyone will be gay.

See, I hope they don't do something like that -- that's overly complex, isn't it?

What made Jade and Obsidian distinctive at all was the fact that they were Alan Scott's kids, twins, via his marriage to Thorn.

I'm absolutely fine in with Alan Scott being gay in a new, rebooted universe. But from here on, let the character have his own destiny. Tell new stories with the character.

Don't box Alan Scott in now with two kids, now that you've changed something fundamental about the character. Tell new stories with him and let the character have his own history.

He could always appear in the nuDCU, just maybe not in Earth 2...
