Am I just fucking stupid or is there some mega-backstory that I'm missing out on?

Nah it just intense Morrison spamming. Some like it for it others don’t. It took me awhile to warm up to it. Jeffery Epstein was murdered in prison to cover up pedophile elite and nothing will be done about it.

Sounds like reading his Batman and X-Men runs (as a Batfan and X-fan). I wouldn't say it was 'no clue what is happening', but it was like 'why is everything so weird and disconnected now?'.

>Am I just fucking stupid
Yes, while you may have meant that as some outlandish hypothetical, it is unfortunately the case here.

>Is there some mega-backstory that I'm missing out on?
Yes, you have to read lots of silver age series and his other works if you want to understand

Glad the bastard is dead

Grant writes episodic stories and doesn't bother wasting your time explaining where everything comes from and why it matters. I know people are used to that, but it's so nice when the comic dedicates more time to its art and story than holding the readers' hand over continuity bullshit that doesn't matter.

I haven't read any Green Lantern solos before or any of Morrison's DC stuff other than 52 and Multiversity. It's not confusing at all, just assume any weird character is a one-off from the Silver Age.

>glad the man who could have given vital information regarding child-raping world and industry leaders is dead

If you know that stuff then you should know that all of his comics are like this, it's a product of him cramming 1000 ideas in every issue with no filter like his hero Kirby. It will read much better in trades, again just like all of his stuff.

This is a big part of it. Any of these single issues, or the recent two parter would be 6-12 issues in most writers hands, dropping exposition ad nauseum, and moving at a snail's pace. Morrison just puts you in the action here and trusts you're capable enough to go with the flow.

Read final crisis, 52 and multiversity and you should be good.

Hi hillary

>people like that exist

>Am I just fucking stupid
Yes. The Anti-man was being built up ever since Issue 1.

t. brainlet

Technically a lot of GL characters are, some just show up more than others

trips for truth

It also just makes it more fun in retrospect of an issue to then dig around on the internet and see how much research Grant did

>action
Yeah, that's not what I'd call it.

>brainlet
Even Grant thinks just going along with it is first the best, ya pretentious shit.

The best way to read it for me was in Yea Forums since I don’t know anything about silver age, and people usually reply with who is who and tiny bits of trivia that makes the whole reading more enriching. Thanks co

It's not up to date but give this a try

>Buy this
>Am I just fucking stupid
Yes. Learn how to torrent.
>Have no clue what the fuck is happening
Did you only read the 10th issue?

Silver age researching stuff

It is to GL what the Black Glove is to Batman. I hope he stays on for years.

Read the original Gil Kane run bro! I’m a gigantic pleb but every time I see a character that I don’t know about, I just try to read the original story they appeared in and then read that issue again with the new knowledge.

>not about Kyle
it's a bad Green Lantern book

He’s written Kyle extensively before in his JLA book. We don’t need another retread.

The storytime threads have ended up being some of the most entertaining ones on Yea Forums lately. Somebody spots something random in the corner of a panel and then we have a huge discussion about it.

Yes, that’s the entire reason I stuck with co when I first got here. It’s 10x more entertaining to read comics here than by yourself. Idk why publishers don’t implement something like this on their websites.

Does anybody know who this guy is? There has to be somewhere before right?

I'm very new to comics and unironically following the storyline. There are morally bankrupt aliens with extraterritorial rights, anyone -from virus to planet- can be a green lantern, green lanterns fight with imaginary power, everything is frequency so you can tune it with all kinds of lanterns and bells. Am I right?

Mostly yes to all of your questions. For green lanterns the main thing is willpower. Imagination just comes into play in how they make their constructs. Hal for example doesn’t have any and just makes fighter jets, gloves, etc. And he frequency thing, yes the whole DC multiverse is supposed to be in a single spot, but different universes vibrating at different frequencies is why they are distinct. That’s usually how the canon goes, but sometimes it changes. The main evil universe up until a while ago was the anti matter universe, but Snyder has been changing the paradigm so that the Dark Multiverse is the new evil counterpart of the normal universe.

Hi Bill

>Snyder has been changing the paradigm so that the Dark Multiverse is the new evil counterpart of the normal universe.
Is GL the only DC book free of Snyder or Bendis’ bullshit?

Actually the Dark Multiverse was in the last issue. Hal threw the Qwa-Man into it.

Someone connected to her, maybe?

Batman!
No year of the villain, no stupid forces, no Bendis

Book would have been better if it was about John

Really hope this is bait and you're not one of those retards who actually liked King's Omega Men.

Someone already baited with pretending to prefer Kyle over Hal. No need to go through the same trolling effort with an even worse suggestion.
