COMICS: Baz Suits Up In First Look At Geoff Johns And Doug Mahnke's GREEN LANTERN #13

Looking great. Mahnke's art looks REALLY good in this one, to my surprise.

Nice. The GL 0 issue featuring Baz was one of the best 0s. Really good.

@Mctrinket Kyle Rayner

I think Hal and Sinestro are in purgatory of sorts and seems can still communicate through the the ring since hal ring was just a construct of sinestro's.

And i don't think DC necessarily is supporting Obama just that he is the current president.

My interest in this comic book went from -10000 to +100 since they introduced this new Green Lantern.

Baz!!!!

ROTFL....

i'm Sure No One can say that with a Straight Face.

Space Ghost, I actually know someone named Baz.
And yes, he's Muslim.

And [frick] off with all the debates about race. B'az is [frick]ing boring, that is all that matters from a storytelling perspective.



And so are Jordan and Stewart.

@toco89 im pretty sure kyle is latin american and he was created a long time ago

Woe, didn't realize all the arguing goin on up in here. Yeah I'm pretty sure they just put Obama in there because he is currently the President. To make it seem a little more realistic. Heh, if you can call a comic about a guy with a ring that can do anything he wills "realistic". Lol. And about Baz' race. So WHAT he's Arab-American? I don't get why people have to be so racist. Okay, clearly they're adding some diversity to appeal to wider audiences. Is that so wrong? And if Geoff Johns cares about this character and story, so do I. Actually, I already did. I never even cared that Baz is Arab-American. I'm just excited for the story and to see how the new character develops. I think everyone needs to stop acting like they're little children, and stop being partial, and if you don't like the new guy then FINE. But don't trash DC and people who aren't American because of it. Just leave this article before you something that provokes someone.

Wingding has spoken

@toco89

Im sorry if Im not mistaken is isnt Kyle Rayner hispanic??? I know hes not a "major" charcater but hes an important green lantern..im not jumping on you in anyway dude

I think Baz is cool...just for the fact most arab people in the media are either portayed as terrorists or like kumar. Its good to see an heroic person of color no matter what... marvel has been better about this they have major heroes as people of color..Its just a shame the only way we'll see them is either the token diveristy character ie Cyborg, or as a sidekick ie Falcon. As a matter of fact I say instead of Jordan for the Justice League movie Do Simon Baz instead!!! You wanna finally beat marvel to the punch on the movie front and make history at the same time, this is away to do it!!!

Justice League Movie Lineup

Supes
Bats
WW
Flash
Green Lantern (Simon Baz)
Martian Manhunter

no aquaman unless u call him by another name (call him the Atlantean for petes sake)

Im more a dc fan than marvel but marvel is kicking dc's ass on the movie front other than Bats and Hopefully supes. DC YOU WANNA MAKE HISTORY SHOW DIVERSISTY AND BEAT MARVEL TO THE PUNCH... PUT SIMON BAZ IN THE JUSTICE LEAGUE FILM

I wonder if people complained when John Stewart was introduced....

I'm all for new Green Lanterns, even makes sense in some ways, but out of the entire Universe, it just so happens that there are now 5...count that, FIVE, Earth-bound Green Lanterns...who all just so happen to be from America? I'm from the USA so I don't mean to come across as anti-patriotic or anything, but seriously, do the rings only have the ability to choose American-Humans? I would've rather had read this had the new GL been from Iraq or Afghanistan, somewhere where shit is really bad. It's not like the book would even have to be written in another language for the "realism" effect because the rings have a universal-translator anyway.
