It’d Explain The Costumes…

Joe Doakes from Como Park writes about DC Comics’ move to create a gay superhero:

I wonder if they’ll make his partner a side-kick named Lavender Lantern?

This is either a brilliant move- targeting comics for all the gay guys who collect baseball cards and action figurines and read comic books – and will earn them billions of dollars in new sales;

Or it’s the dumbest idea since New Coke.

I will wager a brand-new nickel that Gay Green Lantern is killed off by Evil Straight Religious Wacko White Guy before January 1, 2014. Takers?

Never, ever, EVER any action on a bet like that.

  1. It’s a dumb idea. The whole (marketing) concept of Green Lantern is that any kid could imagine owning a power ring. You didn’t have to be from Krypton, doused in electrified chemicals, or bitten by a radioactive spider, relatively less likely events on the comics/cosmic scale. It really isn’t about gender, race, etc. They’re going to make a mess of it overshooting the target, just like “Glee” did and “Modern Family” is now doing, which used to be about singing and comedy.

  2. I understand that in an upcoming edition, Batman hires The Green Lantern to decorate the Batcave interior.
