Lil Formers #121: Rainbow of Lanterns

Yay! I get to draw Guy Gardner my most favorite of all lanterns. Also Tomar Tu is cool I ’spose. For anyone not reading DC Comics, the Green Lantern Corps is about to have an all-out war with a rainbow of Lanterns. Green, Yellow, Blue, Indigo, Purple, Orange, Red, and even Black.

Green Lantern and Green Lantern Corps are about the most epic comic books on the rack right now. And unlike and the billions of tie-in crossover titles for Final Crisis and Secret Invasion, you only need to read to series!

It’s also darn colorful, unlike too many comics these days which are just…brown. So go read it!

    awesome! I enjoy how this makes sense even if you’re not deep into comic book lore (like myself).

  2. autobot420

    No Kyle Rainer, that sucks he was the best lantern. IMHO :(

  3. Reed Solomon

    Nice touch with the my little pony star sapphire in the background there.

  4. Paula B

    LOL @ the MLP.

  5. kiselkupus

    Heh :) Stopped reading this stuff a while ago…………..Is this happening in Earth-8765745855454, Earth-47461456563, or another universe of zillion universes/reboots in the multiverse? One needs to be quite concentrated while keeping track on universes, it’s very easy to get lost in the vastness of the multiverse…or multiverses. Or whatever… :)

  6. Raymond T.

    Where’s the Hound Lantern from Lil Formers #31 :(

  7. Chewie

    Totally awesome.

  8. Fudgecrumpet

    What’s the point of a black lantern? Do they just make stuff glow like a 70s student flat?

  9. Zenstrive

    you hate mogo there, brotha’? FEEL THE WRATH OF MOGO!

    ..or not. Mogo is a peacefull little planet with lush green willpower…

  10. Farglesnarf

    Can I maybe guess where it comes from? @_@

  11. Dangaioh

    Cool… besides the My Little Pony, there’s Jeannie, from “I Dream of Jeannie”.

  12. Osaru Sensei

    Dude, It’s Tomar RE not TU

  13. Llordllama

    Didn’t Tomar Re pop his clogs back in the big ol’ original crisis, with Tomar Tu being his son/nephew/aunt or some such?

    And loving the series(es) and this cartoon - excellent!

  14. TheDarkLight

    Kyle Rayner you’ve been chosen, welcome to the blue lantern corps. seriously he needs to become a blue lantern. there is no reason for four earth lanterns.

  15. Brad L. Wooldridge

    Now, that is funny. And I wanted to be an Orange Lantern, or maybe, at the very least, and Orange Crush.

  16. John

    Some love for Guy. Yeah that is Tomar Tu. Tomar Re died at the end of the original Crisis. I wouldn’t be surprised if he returns as a Black Lantern.

    For whoever asked earlier. Black Lanterns ae going to be characters brought back from the dead. Ronnie Raymond [one of the original halfs of the original Firestorm ]is going to be a BL as well.

  17. Baron of chaos

    eh, its me or the GL corps is facing the same rainbow trend that once time cursed the ninjas? Ya know the old times when , even in most hardcore videogames like MK, ninjas come in all the most colourful outfit!

  18. Monty Python

    I’ve just been reading Secret Invasion itself, and the Thor and Spider-Man tie-ins.

    I’m not even going to attempt to understand Final Crisis.

  19. Armorock

    That’s hilarious. Brown lanterns hahaha….

  20. Nick

    I agree. Everything going on in Green Lantern is so much better than Final Crisis. Morrison is just making things too complex for the sake of making it sound sophisticated. In fact, I went on a video rant about how much I hate Final Crisis and got comments full of Morrison fanboy love.

  21. ooo-zah

    I must thank Secret Invasion and Final Crisis cause finally they made me to take the bold decision to stop buying all Marvel Universe and DC Universe titles. Still buying hell of a comics, but i guess i will not read main universe titles from big 2 anymore.

  22. jaganar

    Matt , i just got to know

    where iS Duck Dodgers

    anyone else notice the YELLOW LANTERN at the bottom center of the pic as Ripley’s ALIEN Queen

    O_o
    ( thank you matt , Queenie is AWESOMZ )

  23. Chris

    Great take on Guy Gardner! And you bet Green Lantern and Green Lantern Corps are the books to follow!

  24. Sabre_Justice

    And let’s not get started on Rainbow Lanterns.

    …CARE BEAR STARE!

  25. Asher Tye

    I’d heard about Blue, Yellow, and Red, but the Indigo, Purple and Black ones are new to me. Gotta wonder what aspect they draw their powers from. I know Green is willpower, yellow is fear, and red is rage….

  26. Strykor

    I wonder if there’s going to be a White Lantern? If so, how will he/she come about? I’m thinking collecting the other rings and merging together.

  27. Bigdonkey1

    MUST HAVE TOMAR TU AVATAR

  28. Fudgecrumpet

    I want to be a plaid lantern…

  29. Metroplex

    Agreed. Green Lantern and Green Lantern Corps are two of the best books out right now. I work at a comic book shop and read basically everything that comes out, but these two stay towards the top of my stack. If Johns does with Flash what he did with GL, I’ll be stoked!

  30. Bard

    Ok…so lemme get this straight.

    Green=Green Lantern Corps
    Yellow=Sinestro Corps
    Purple=Star Sapphire Corps
    Violet=Corpse (Green Lantern special assassination squad…cuz apparently an English play on words works in alien languages, too)
    Red=Red Lantern Corps

    …the rest just confuse me.

    So the Red Lanterns really *DO* vomit up their power? When someone told me that the rings made them vomit up their hearts and filled their veins with liquid hate…I thought they were just being hyperbolic.

  31. Farglesnarf

    I’m with Fudgecrumpet. Screw conformity, let’s be something strange!

  32. Primetime

    Nice to see Guy Gardner get some love. I know people are upset with the lack of Transformers now, but I like seeing your take on all different cartoon/comic characters.

  33. Flasher

    Green=will power
    yellow=fear
    red=rage
    orange=greed
    purple=love
    indigo=compassion
    blue=hope
    black=death? not sure on this one, all I know is that the Anti-monitor is the battery for this one and the ring bearers are people brought back from the dead

  34. Dremare

    The Red Lanterns’ ‘energy’ is actually regurgitated acidic blood. The rings give more blood back, though. But it’s still gross.

  35. jazzimus prime

    lol

  36. Nightboomfer

    One of the Sinestro aliens is a Reaper from the new Dr. Who series.

  37. CATR's Chris

    Green should stand for envy, you know :P

  38. Z

    “Brown Lanterns”…. That is hilarious.

  39. Phantom6

    The Black lanterns are indeed the Dead. The absence of all emotion and potentially the largest of the Eight Corps with their numbers limited only by how many dead there are in the universe.

    Interesting to see a “My little Pony” as a Star Sapphire (They kept the SS name and aren’t referred to as the Violet Corps.)

  40. thunderwing

    the red rings in the red lantern corps take place of your heart and your heart becomes USELESS! so NEVER take off someone elses red ring unless you wanna kill them quickly

  41. thunderwing

    scanning: sinestro corps member:lethal force approved

  42. tfafan

    is that a… my little pony?!

  43. Jay

    Everyone has mentioned the pony, but I’m more interested in what appears to be a Sinestro Corps Powdered Toast Man.

  44. Veltran

    Brown Lanterns are all duplicates of The Great Mighty Poo from Comker’s Bad Fur Day.

  45. Lipkin

    For the record, the Red Lanterns were inspired by the movie 28 days later.
