    ah my god there's that image again!

    Licking skulls just isn't sanitary.It also isn't a very sane thing to do.Come to think of it licking skulls has got to be in the top ten most depraved things you can possibly do.

    I thought Conner was still dead too... I wasn't sure because I don't read titans or superman titles. Wasn't Bruces coffin empty? I thought they never found a body. I guess I need to go and re-read some stuff

    Conner came back a few months ago in Legion of 3 Worlds and Batman did leave behind a body....remember? Superman carried it out of Darkseid's fortress

    Really? Was that in Final Crisis? I'm yet to read that... Thanks for letting me know because I've skipped some issues.

    I watched the vids. I always imagine Geoff Johns was an old man but he doesn't look that much older than me, lol.... Reading the issue how did the black lanterns increase their power? By feeding off the hearts of people?

    I was lucky that they still had the Agent Orange issues of Green Lantern, it was a good story arc, nothing like Sinestro Corps War or Green lantern #43 but it was still okay, still got to read Rage of the Red Lanterns though.

    Eh, it was short it only gave brief bio's on the Lantern Corps (all of them) and William Hand dug up Bruce Wayne's grave and enchanted the Black Lanterns catch phrase (i guess) Nothing really happened besides that though.

    I know the Black Lanterns have an oath, but after reading this issue I thought it would be pretty funny if it was just FLESH FLESH FLESH FLESH over and over again.

    And I'm loving the ring that came with it. I'd wear it all the time if I could keep it from slipping off my fingers.

    @Kris: I actually superglued the "Halves" of mine shut so it's an actual ring. It makes it slightly tighter, maybe that would help.
    Also, a (relatively) steady hand and a silver marker applied to the logo make it look FANTASTIC
