Anthony B. writes: Just a heads up on the new GL: Rebirth #6. Not to spoil anything for you, but there's a great scene where Hal knocks out Batman and Guy says "You see that? ONE PUNCH. Y'Know Hal. I've Always Liked You."
While Green Lantern was (and still is) my favorite superhero, I missed a bunch of him back in the day. Just wanted to let you know that after reading your JLA articles, that scene made me laugh so hard knowing the history. Thanks man.
Any thoughts on the way they brought Hal back? While I thought #5 was a little slow, with the exception of Hal introducing himself to Kyle, I think they wrapped it up perfectly. Hal's narration (also the great visuals) as he talks about each Lantern and their fighting mentality was just great.
All and all, I think it was a great 6 story arc to get things rolling while they did their best to satisfy Hal and Kyle fans.
As always, keep up the good work!
Tipton: Agreed, the sequence comparing the different Lanterns was very well done. The series as a whole was first-rate.

Luke A. writes: Just wanted to give you a shout out and say that I
really dug your ROCKETEER article. With your
articles, you often remind me of things from my
childhood that I've forgotten but remember fondly,
like with your BATMAN TAS articles. I remember that
movie from when I was a kid, and it still brings back
memories. I love movies set in that 30's-50's,
post-war, noir era, and THE ROCKETEER really captures
the era's excitement that's pretty much impossible to
attain nowadays. That flick actually means more to me
than T2 or ROBIN HOOD: PRINCE OF THEIVES. It's one of
those few movies that can be described as pure,
uncompromising imagination. And I would definitly
like to see a tricked out 2 disc SE DVD of it out by
Disney.
Keep up the good work. I would still like to see a
few articles on BONE. The entire series is in a thick
1000 plus page book that's out now. If you can spend
12 weeks on the Justicle League, you can at least do
one on one of the biggest indie comic books of the
last ten years.
Tipton: Bone's totally on the short list -- I just haven't had the time to re-read it.

Paul writes: maybe you are right re the cartoon John Stewart. I only stayed for the
first season, it didn't seem that great to me. John only effed over
one planet to my knowledge and it got used in time to make him a
deeper and more seasoned hero with a tragic past. That was something I
really didn't like about the cartoon show: the whole Xanshi plot
element being thrown away in such a dumb way and so early on. Like
hiding a planet? Yeesh. I did think the last two eps with the
alternate Justice League from the comic book were nicely weird, a bit
Outer Limits in their take on things. Did the show improve any?
So are the Doom Patrol Archive Editions worth checking out? I see
there are two to be had, and my first introduction to these guys was
in the JLA Year One maxi series. The Morrison book is outstanding, but
it wouldn't exist without the original stuff. Is it any good? How
about the new one? Read about Doom patrol and X Men coming out about
the same time, and the line-up and pitch seeming to have some
similarities. Maybe that pesky Mr Nobody was at work?! And blowed if
he doesn't visually remind me of Microsoft Office's irritating little
unhelpful icon, Clippy?! :-)
Really, thanks again for putting me onto DP. I can be grouchy, read
widely, like chocolate and not feel as bothered about ambulatory
nuisances due to polio now! :-) Animal Man is coming soon, hopefully
next paycheck in a couple of weeks. I'm having such a ball with
Morrison's work. I read about some series he did called The
Invisibles. What is that like? It sounds a bit Robert Anton
Wilson-ish. I kinda liked Stefan Petrucha's X Files comic more than
the actual television show, as it didn't try to go too far into
fantasy and left open lots of possiblities for doubt as to how and why
things were happening.
Just got done with Green Lantern: Rebirth #6. If you've not got to it
yet, best to put the brakes on until the ish is read.
Johns did a pretty good job, with the mangled mess he was given
license to fix. I'm glad that Pieface's Hal Jordan fanboy shrine is
gone, although it would be nice if there's some followup there seeing
as how it's the Innuit who rebuilt Oa and not Kyle. Maybe a quick
visit to see the Guardians, some grudging thanks from Guy, a clue-in
from Hal, ya know? In Legacy it was embarrassing to see what read so
much as a fan love letter (understandable though it may have been)
getting turned into a canonical adventure, and thank goodness the
Jordan statue is no longer a fixture in the new Oa.
That Johns tells us (way back in at the start of GL: Rebirth) the GLC
has been around for billions of years is surely a retcon, and that the
GLs have only come from thousands of planets out of the entire cosmos
in that time strikes me as rather implausible. If Gibbons is writing a
GL mini, I hope we get some sense of the grand history of good works
and stirring deeds performed by the Corps over the breadth of their
existence. Maybe we'll get back the Bok of Worthy Names or something
like that? I sure hope so!
The Guardians transgendered by Kyle is something I hope is soon
undone. (I'm glad they are aged again, although there's no explanation
for why just yet. I'll keep reading though!) It's a core facet of
their origin that they split off from their female counterparts, who
became the Zamarons. If anything, I'd be happy to see them come to Oa
and work with the Guardians. And for gosh sakes, if they are so randy
or worried about turning Oa into New Maltus, get some emerald
contraceptives for gosh sakes. Matter of fact, where's the kids they
were supposed to have been baking?
I wonder if this latter element has been sent to the retcon mines
along with Hal's old battery getting destroyed a few issues before the
whole Emerald Twilight thing hit? There was many mentions that Hal had
no new battery, and now suddenly Johns tells us that Green Arrow took
his pal's undestroyed battery out of his locker? Then why go hunting
for Alan and Guy's in the Year One Annual and bring them back to his
old workplace and not use his own battery?! Is a feel-good moment
worth the retcon? I can't see that it was so necessary to use an old
power battery to make the point that we're all glad (Hal included)
that he's back. It's a minor quibble, but still.
I laughed at Batman getting smacked down, especially after re-reading
the first Giffen League tpb recently. And the exchange between Bats
and Hal where the latter basically tells him he doesn't care what he
thinks, was I thought in character and well stated. Parallax was
infecting the JLA and pretty much everyone apart from the GLs, so Hal
had to take him out quick so he could focus on the real fight. Whether
he could have done so if Bats was straight is another question that
I'm sure will have fans arguing well into the night.
Yet the resolution of the moment seemed to me to be unconvincing. I
just can't see Batman saying what he did and slinking off. Maybe it's
all scheming to bide his time until the Identity Crisis follow-up hits
the JLA book next month.
I also think the Guardians are going to have to induct Hector Hammond
into the Corps as chief PR officer because I can't easily so how
otherwise the sectors are going to be persuaded to let the GLs set up
shop again. There ought to be a good deal of apprehension, unease and
probably even anger about the GLs given the fallout from Emerald
Twilight leaving so many worlds unprotected for so long. Why shouldn't
sectors get the willies thinking that next week the whole thing
couldn't happen again, a hundred times worse – especially when the guy
who was the face of green shit hitting the fan is back as the
Guardians' bright-haired boy? I really don't know how the Guardians
are going to pull this off. And I don't think it should be that easy.
Just the insurance premiums would be scary!
And on Earth, doesn't everyone since his death know Hal was a GL and
Parallax? If so, that's gonna be a tough road to hoe as well. I don't
know how you get past that and at the same time give it the due it
logically deserves. The compromises and costs inherent in a
continuation rather than a reboot, I guess...
But I enjoyed the ride and am amped for the future. The art is lovely,
and the characters are getting a fair shake again. That's better than
I'd have thought possible for a long time.
One thought that does make wonder though is the fact that from what I
understand Hal is returning to the military. I hope that the new
born-again Hal is such that we will see stories that probe the meaning
of duty and the complexity of having ties to both the United States
and the Corps. Just making him a poster boy for Authority of any kind
would seem shallow.
When Marvel made Iron Man the US Secretary for Defense it was a weird
and ultimately pointless situation, so I hope Green Lantern doesn't go
down the same trap. It'd be nice if his superiors order him to go
after some designated military target pre-emptively and he declines,
stating his code of conduct as a GL doesn't cover such things.
In the 40s, the JSA were unable to engage with Hitler et al in World
War Two, ostensibly because of magic weapons wielded by the Axis
powers. With clout of GL's caliber in the military today, I would hope
that some attempt to engage with questions of ethics and personal
responsibility occurs. I would hate for us to get to a sort of
situation like that seen in the Elseworlds mini Age of Wonders.
Although given the ominous Inifite Crisis with its mix of Kingdom
Come, Crisis and so on, maybe this is right where this is headed, with
Hal being stuck in the role of Supes in DKR. As ever, I'll wait and
see... :-)
Hopefully we'll get the inside story soon on how the rings suddenly
got their AI back, their current capabilities compared to the old
ones, and whether they have the yellow weakness again now Parallax is
back in the Central Power Battery. Maybe the Secret Files will cover
that stuff.
From what I've seen of the new ongoing book, John seems a tad more
deferential rather than collegial to Hal, which given the years of
experience he's had, seems a little bit like short shrift. The last
time he fought Hal, he cleaned his clock. And John's been a Guardian.
(So why the hell the Guardians didn't whistle him up seeing he was
already on Oa to stop Hal in ET is one of the more vexing problems
with that whole in-continuity mess, up there with why they simply
didn't switch off Hal's ring from the get-go.) I really hope Johns
isn't going to make Hal higher in status by bring John down a peg or
three. So far, Kyle seems to have gotten very good handling and John
is faring far, far better than when he was crippled and later given
the pointless imaginary instant dead sister tragedy (ripped out of
MASH) to make him even more psycho-emotionally messed and
guilt-ridden.
Hopefully the mammoth sales on the mini are a sign that everyone is as
thrilled as I am about the book and its stars being front and center,
and eager to follow it through the months to come. Whatever the hell
Infinite Crisis will be, I really hope GL will not get done over a
barrel so soon after its rebirth. But who knows? I also hope that the
space cop soundbite isn't the be all and end all of the new take on
Green Lantern. A GL can be a whole lot more than this, in the course
of their duties. Hopefully we will see that.
I guess it's just hard to reconcile how much progress has been made in
such a short time, and how much of a commitment seems finally
forthcoming from DC to repair the useless damage that was wrought so
many years ago. So long as we don't find ourselves in a few years back
where we were, with GL converted back into a soap opera with the magic
ripped out of it, I'll be happy. For now though, I remain excited and
hopeful, and that's good enough for today! After all this time, it's
good to be a GL fan again! :-)
Tipton: The second season got much stronger, with better stories and the slow build of the John Stewart/ Hawkgirl romance.
Go here for a look at the DOOM PATROL Archives:
http://moviepoopshoot.com/comics101/72.html
After seeing how Johns managed to bring back Hal without undoing too many stories, I have every confidence the franchise is now in good hands. A refreshing change.

Jonathan S. writes: Why do some characters, or their creators rather,
warrant such "x created by y" credits on the title
page of all comics featuring them? For example, I've
seen: "The Demon created by Jack Kirby", but never:
"John Constantine created by Alan Moore". Also,
you'll see "Stan Lee's x", and "John Byrne's y", but
never "Warren Ellis' z". Why? Who makes the
determination? Is there something that modern
character originators are forgetting to do when it
comes to licensing their character? Even today's
Wonder Girl, Cassie Sandsmark, who was created by John
Byrne, doesn't get the credit by HER name, so what
gives? I've been wondering this for a long time, and
recently, as my comics reading has broadened to
include some classics such as Sandman, and Swamp
Thing, I've wondered this more and more. Wouldn't the
endless, (with the possible exception of Destiny)
warrant a "created by Neil Gaiman" credit for all out
of title books that they appear in, ie: Captain Atom
#42 (June 1990) which features Neil Gaiman's Death.?
I've looked for the answers elsewhere, haven't found
anyone who deals with this issue, so now I'm turning
to you. I hope you can answer this question.
Tipton: In almost every case when you see a DC Comics creator credit, it's been negotiated or otherwise contractually obligated, including more recent characters like Neil Gaiman's Morpheus or Robinson and Harris' Jack Knight, both of which carried creator credits. However, it's still always done as a courtesy in the character's own book, and not something that is required by law to be there whenever the character appears anywhere.

Richard writes: I can't believe you didn't mention the simply amazing run that David
Michelinie and Walt Simonson had between Empire and Jedi. The cadre of
Imperial officers vowing to kill Vader before he can kill any more of
them, the Tarkin, the Shira Brie mystery, Plif -- great solid stuff that
honestly blows away anything else in the series.
Tipton: Just not enough space -- I didn't even get to Goodwin's excellent EMPIRE adaptation.
###
Glen D. writes: Great column on the Star Wars comics.
When I was 4 I liked Jaxxon the 6 foot tall green rabbit so much I wrote letters asking for an action figure. He's still better than Jar Jar Binks.
The scene between Biggs and Luke also appeared in the Star Wars Storybook complete with color photos of the scene.
Tipton: Yeah, Jaxxon is admittedly better than Jar Jar.
Wish I could find my copy of the Star Wars Storybook...
###
Josh D writes: Man, that column brought back some fun memories.
Outstanding. Some standout issues in my mind were
#71-72 where Luke and Lando go after the carbonite
Solo and have to face off with all the bounty hunters
we saw in Empire but never got to see in action (IG-88
and that lizard guy). Also, #78 had a big impact on
me as a kid. It was the story of a rebel left behind
on Hoth, fending off Wampas and trying not to
starve/freeze to death. If I recall, it was a pretty
bleak story. My all time favorite was #81 where Boba
Fett returns from his lame death in ROTJ to continue
kicking ass. Good times. Good times. I had all but
forgotten these (and how the sequels had to be
published as separate limited series since they didn't
fit the continuity so much).
I would also like to say, big props to the Dark Empire
limited series over in Dark Horse. That was a great
story also that really followed the themes of the
movies (in my opinion). You should think about
expanding your Star Wars in comics coverage (maybe not
right away) since there are so many worthy tales out
there. Plus, I was wondering if you could recommend
some other Dark Horse Star Wars series?
Tipton: Yes, the Dark Empire series was pretty good. Almost all of Dark Horse's STAR WARS output is at least readable, and usually better than average.
###
Tay JK writes: I just read your Star Wars article, and I believe I know of another possible
source of falsely recalling the scene between Biggs and Luke: NPR's Radio
Adaption of Star Wars. That series includes some before the movie details
of the going ons of Leia and her foster dad, Luke racing in Begger's Canyon,
and R2 pulling off a ship saving of Leia's ship similar to the one he pulls
off in Episode One.
Anyways, either the first or second episode focuses on Luke. I THINK
(haven't listen to it in quite some time) that Biggs visits Luke after he
wins a race by threading the Needle (flying through a very dangourus road
hazard that allows him to win), but I am sure that even if he doesn't Luke
and his friends mention Biggs several times.
Tipton: True, true. I'm pretty sure the radio play did utilize all the Biggs material.
###
James W. writes: I was just curious about the old man with delusions of
having been a jedi knight. Did they go into that
further, or was this one of the things (like the
rabbit) lucasfilm objected to? I am curious whether or
not he turned to have been an actual jedi, or just an
old psycho.
Tipton: They didn't really give Don-Wan too close of a look, but it was pretty clear that he wasn't a Jedi, although he did at least show bravery in battle. I think Lucasfilm was probably more concerned with the 7-foot green rabbit.
###
Jake writes: Your Star Wars article brought back two severe
flashbacks to my childhood-
One was the fact that my cousin had not only the Han
Solo toy blaster AND the Storm Trooper rifle, he ALSO
had two of the original toy lightsabers. I'd play at
his house as often as I possibly could, and would
spend the time I wasn't there by seething with
jealousy.
The second was that it struck me that this Jax the
Rabbit fellow bears a SUSPICIOUS resemblance to a
character in a cartoon from the early-to-mid 80s
called Bucky O'Hare. He too was a tall, spacefaring,
green rabbit in a red jumpsuit. That seems kind
of...suspiciously coincidental.
Anyway, thanks for throwing the old memory back a few
years.
###
Adam W. writes: This is just too weird to be a coincidence....
That's not a question, really, but... whatever.
Tipton: I never noticed that before, but Bucky does seem to resemble ol' Jax, doesn't he?
###
Adam L. writes: Regarding your theory about the false memory of the scene between Luke and Biggs in Star Wars, I have another theory. I remember that there was a radio play of A New Hope broadcast on Public Radio when I was a kid in like 13 parts. It included a lot of stuff that wasn’t in the movie, including an exchange between Luke and Biggs, and I believe a scene of a race between Luke and Biggs on Tatooine. I had the series on tape, so I listened to them until they wore out, and that could have been a factor in the “lost scene” memories. Also, I was surprised to see the word “Sith” in the original Star Wars comic in the battle between Darth and Obi-Wan. I didn’t think “The Sith” was being used until later with the Dark Horse comics.
Tipton: Yeah, "Sith" dates all the way back until 1977. It wasn't until a decade or so later that we found out what it meant.
###
Stephen H. writes: Do you think the only reason Lucas didn't like the Seven foot
rabbit was he didn't think of it first? It could almost be as
obnoxious as JarJar or Ewoks... almost.
###
Richard B. writes: Kudos for yet another comics overview in which you do more than just recite the particular details of a book, but also nail the context
and spirit of the times perfectly.
Though it must be said, your eye for the telling detail still
impresses the hell out of me. If someone had asked me about the
first few Marvel issues of Star Wars, I would immediately think of
the scene with Biggs, the green Darth on the first issue cover, and
Chaykin's top-heavy Leia in that pin-up. Maybe that says more about
me as a teenager than it does about the actual comics.
The only possible quibble is that the beautiful adaptation of Empire
deserves a bit more play. When I saw the film on opening day in New
York, there were vendors roaming the aisles selling copies of the
comic to an audience hungry for any and all SW merchandising they
could get their hands on. Considering how successful this tactic
was, it's a little surprising Marvel never tried it with other
properties: a nicely packaged Spider-Man book at either of the Raimi
films, say, or a Frank Miller Daredevil sampler. The Empire comic
was very nicely done, released in magazine format in a single volume
-- a pleasant surprise for fans expecting it to come out in six
issues -- and unlike the original, it was clearly produced with the
benefit of the comic creators seeing the actual film.
Apart from that, well done on another fine article!
Tipton: Yeah, I just didn't have time to cover EMPIRE and get the column out before the new movie hit. It was great, though.

I can see we can expect another year of "Family Guy" disses, but, uh, can I just point out that Frank Sinatra's been dead for some time now, making this joke kinda senseless.
Ryall: So, here we are. I suppose, with 35-45 comments and shows mentioned each week, not every joke is going to hit. But this one worked in my head, anyway.
See, I was trying for a little comment on the fact that I don't ever give this show any credit for anything, to the point where I even hassle them for their inability to get an obviously dead and ungettable guest-star.
Explaining jokes always brings the yuks, doesn't it?

Luke D. writes: o another great episode of AD last night (don't call it that), but I am somewhat confused... the end, where they talk about the family being saved, was that a pipe dream, or reality? I can't seem to find any information online about it, and because you seem to be the man with the 'ins', I thought I would email you to see if you know anything.
Ryall: No official announcement, either of Fox's cancellation of anyone else picking it up. But I sure hope that's coming soon. That episode about the show/family's cancellation was priceless.

Zach S. writes: Was clicking around on eBay, and found a graphic designer has made a variety of AD shirts, including "Friends of Annyong," "Law Office of Bob Loblaw" and "Dr. Funke's 100% All-Natural Good-Time Family Band Solution." They're about $20 apiece, and you can get them for Buy It Now.
An egrigious copyright violation, to be sure, but lord knows Fox will never make any of these...
The store is online at http://stores.ebay.com/Mario-Design-Warehouse
Now if only someone would make a Franklin puppet, complete with "It Ain't Easy Being White" sound chip...
Ryall: I don't know about the bootlegs, but I DID get a "Bluth Family Banana Stand" T-shirt for Christmas from the wife. Although that one's an official Fox shirt, not a boot. I also want a shirt with just a random blue handprint or two on it, too.
"Silent Bob" (not the real one) writes: As the great Stewie Griffin once said, "Wha, wha what the fu, I mean what the hell?" This is exactly what went through my mind when I read your newest article. It is not my intention to say you are a, oh, let's use the word dumbass. I believe you have a good sense of taste in the realm of videogames. With that said, WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING?! I can understand you enjoying Phantom Dust (I also enjoyed the Japanese demo version I played) but Game Of The Year for Xbox, COME ON! Splinter Cell Chaos Theory was my obvious choice, but I'm sure there is another game out there better than Phantom Dust. Then, what really pissed me off, was that you gave an award to Kameo: Elements of Power. I have played the game, and first of all it isn't even a platformer. There's no jump button. It's an adventure game somewhat in the realm of the Zelda games. But, anyway, WHAT THE FUCK?! I understand you not choosing Call Of Duty 2 (which is my choice) because of its existence as a PC game, but why not choose Perfect Dark Zero? I was pleasantly surprised by PDZ and thought you would at least mention it. Didn't you say you don't even own an Xbox 360 yet? Please, in the future, make sure you play more than just a couple of the games available. Email me back if you want to defend your choices or discuss this topic (Or, tell me I'm an asshole with too much free time on his hands).
Once again, I respect your opinion and hope my letter is read as constructive criticism instead of as the ramblings of a complete dumbass with no real opinions other than the ones the media pushes on him.
Thank you for taking the time to read this.
P.S. I agree that Psychonauts was one of the most unique and underappreciated games of the year.
Ian Bonds replies: Okay, so yeah, i can understand your misgivings with my awards this year. Thing is, they are MY awards. Yes, i would agree Splinter Cell: CT was a FANTASTIC game, but, as i siad, it was on every console, and i wanted a game that was exclusive for the Xbox to win. As such, the only game i played that i felt was worthy was Phantom Dust. Alas, i didn't get to play Far Cry: Instincts...
Same deal with Kameo. I *LOVE* Call of Duty 2. Fantastic game. But as far as exclusivity, yeah, it's on PC. That said, i gave the nod to Kameo. Sure, it doesn't fit the normal definition of platformer, so adventure game is more accurate, but i certainly enjoyed that game the most out of the 8 or so titles i've played for the system (i got mine a week after i published that i hadn't gotten one yet, and wasn't able to get reviews up of what i had played before this year end column). As far as Perfect Dark Zero...that game left me severely disapointed. It was an average FPS that looked like it could have been done on the current gen Xbox...sure, it had moments of coolness and next gen flair, but not enough to warrant game of the year...Hell, why they put that one on 360 and Half Life 2 on regular Xbox is BEYOND me...and I even almost dig Condemned more than Kameo, but i just couldn't bring myself to give Game of the Year to a $60 game you can beat in 5 hours.
Which brings me to Resident Evil 4. Yes, for every OTHER system, i chose exclusive games for their game of the Year, except Gamecube. This is mainly due to two reasons: 1) there's usually not much released on cube, and this year there was even LESS, and 2) i didn't even realize i did it until after the column was up...so i call myself out on it before you (or anyone else) does so...
So, sure, i may be a dumbass with my choices...but remember, as i say with every review, this is just One Gamer's Opinion...and i have my reasons, at least (all except that RE4 Gamecube thing...i really dropped the ball there). Sorry 'twasn't your fave column, but hey, you can't please 'em all the time...
Happy New Year, and hopefully next year we'll have more to agree on...

As a closet fan of "Rock Your Body," I think this is potentially really cool news. Thoughts?
Ryall: Hmm... well, I'm no Timberlake fan, but yeah, even Rubin's name attached to his disc makes me think that the music might have potential. Now slap some cameras on him, give me an Exec Producer credit and we'll be off and running!

Chris Buchinsky is an acclaimed artist in the industry and is still carrying the true family name, which can be found on a lot of great movies from Seabiscuit to Office Space. Google Chris Buchinsky and see that The Name Buchinsky Lives On….in Hollywood!
Ryall: You know, the night I received this e-mail, I was watching the original DEATH WISH on AMC. And after having watched it again, I'm pretty convinced that following in Charles Bronson's wooden footsteps isn't that great a thing.
