Happy Halloween 2009 - Comics

This year for Halloween, I'm posting two different posts to celebrate.  This first post is dedicated to comics and the second one (which will be posted later today) will be dedicated to anime/manga. 

This first post features scans from both the 2008 and 2009 DC Universe Halloween specials. 

From the 2008 special comes two interesting scans involving Superman.  Jimmy Olsen dresses up as Superman at the Daily Planet's Halloween party in the first one.  In the second one, the man himself gives out candy and the kids aren't buying it.  Matthew Clark does the pencils here:

And in the 2009 special, Guy Gardner gathers his fellow Green Lanterns for a Halloween shindig.  I really wish this story was longer because then we'd get more than a glimpse at the wifebeater-wearing Kyle Rayner and the shirtless Hal Jordan.  Mark Bagley did the pencils for these:

Look for the anime/manga Halloween post later today!

Blackest Night #0

Free Comic Book Day saw the Blackest Night promotion begin with a new original story.  Below, you'll find some scans from the Blackest Night #0 issue.  The pencils for the first three were done by Ivan Reis while the cool GL spread was penciled by Doug Mahnke.  That spread proves that of all the color lanterns, Green has the hottest guys.

 

  

 

Green Lantern

I don't follow Green Lantern but I've checked out a couple of issues lately and I kind of wish I had been.  I'm intrigued by the upcoming Blackest Night storyline and I like Ivan Reis's artwork.  It may be time to do some investigating.  Check out some scans from Green Lantern #38 and #39.

 

  

 

Hal vs. Ollie

I don't know why, but there are times when seeing two guys fight is utterly appealing.  Such is this case in this brawl between Hal Jordan and Ollie Queen from DC Universe:  Decisions #2.  Howard Porter does the pencils here and the guys look great.  I only wish this sequence went on for a few more pages.

 

  

 

Green Lantern in CG

Only a couple of days after my most recent MK vs DCU post, some new artwork from the game came out featuring another DC hero, Green Lantern.  It looks like they're using Hal Jordan.  Check it out below:
