I'm not sure if I'm proud or ashamed.

perpetual_motionI've come up with a pantomime to describe the Black Lantern Corps in the latest Green Lantern event. For those of you not in the know on this, the Black Lanterns are made up of dead people.
The pantomime goes as follows:
1. Shoveling motion
2. Pulling someone up by their collar, one-handed motion
3. Slipping a ring on their finger
And now that I think about it, I could add a fourth step:
4. Zombie-walk
Also, while I have not yet read "Blackest Night" #1 [busy, busy here], I do know a couple of things, so let me say those under a cut.
RALPH AND SUE? Geoff Johns, you fucker. "I smell a mystery," indeed! I smell a writer who, if I did not like him so much, I would be sending mean, mean letters. Yes, they're dead, and they're beloved, and I get why they're there. But still. RALPH AND SUE? [For those who are reading and going, huh? Look up, "Identity Crisis" and then read it. And then cry.]
On a slightly inappropriate note, a few of us have decided that Black Adam is walking around with Bruce Wayne's head so that he can do a puppet show. This show mostly consists of Black Adam moving Bruce's mouth as he screams, "MY PARENTS ARE DEAD!"
Is anyone on the flist reading "Blackest Night"? And if you aren't and are into comics, have you read the run of "Green Lantern" and "Green Lantern Corps" since the relaunch in 2004 [2005?]? Because you should. You really, really should.
