Great job Rob. Don't worry about being compared to what Benny did on his channel your take is completely different. And as with all your other videos, so far I'm loving your personal approach. Its like Benny retold the volumes of the comic whereas you do recap the story but you break it down give opinions and foresight to the events and really go in depth with what at the core of the tale. Not just narratively but also creatively. I loved Geoff Johns GL and what Benny did with his coverage but I can't wait to see the rest of your take.

[@damienlee54]

DaManJoeWho Well spoken, sir.

[@DaManJoeWho]

Damien Lee thank you my fine fellow much appreciated. I wish you good evening wherever in the multiverese you might reside

[@Psycoholic2008]

He also screams and gets hyped like a mentally challenged individual for these 30sec to 2 min sprints. They get old, when I have to hear. OMG OMG, you won't believe this. For the 15th time, and have it be literally nothing big or shocking. Rob could take a note from professionals and keep an even tone.

[@kennethmartin8715]

that's my man!!! losing sleep over comics!! a true addict

[@Mysta_G]

idk how any of your videos get thumbs down. you are doing us all a favor with your channel it's just baffling. Thank you for all the work you do Rob.

[@Ajeezay21]

GREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN LANTERN GRAAAAAAAAAAAAAH. How i feel on the inside when Rob posts a goddamn video for these guys. Was never a huge fan of this growing up. but comicsExplained helped me change my outlook on this stuff.. Shoutout rob . Dass my boi.

[@brenntantor1634]

*I really miss the Blue Lanterns!* I miss their tiny little primitive pojectiles and dependance of Willpower-proximity to form somewhat comparable constructs. The whole Blue Lantern Corps needs a neinvigoration, new never before seen members that are hopefully more humanoid and thus more relatable than before, and a few new attribute mechanics! For example, they could start phasing out of the physical realm the more damage they receive thereby making them really hard to totally defeat! Or they could start enlisting humans who know martial arts, since their ring still gives them the shields and strength increase wheter or not they can use their ring to their full potential - thus making them effectively like mmorpg TANKs with strong melee but weak ranged attacks (and the whole hard to kill thing). I also hope the Orange Lantern "Corps" can muster a large scale threat in the future just as Yellows and Reds often do. Glomulus and Brainiac constructs! And not just constructs, I'm tired that actual physical lanterns are really rare next to Larfleeze. Make some event force him to share the leadership with an uneasy Avarice Council! Throw in Lex Luthor as an Orange Lantern again, perhaps even Maxwell Lord, maybe even Cheetah! @ DC Comics MAN UP!

[@magneto9210]

Wasn't Flash a Blue Lantern once?

[@Tacos299]

In the darkest night storyline

[@brenntantor1634]

Yeah but Flash being a lantern is a pretty useless idea. He can run fast, but lanterns already can fly.

[@Tacos299]

I think it was to help fight the black lanterns

[@brenntantor1634]

Yes. But Flash could only help on land. But all lanterns can fly! Lantern flight + speed force is not only redundant, but flight cancels out the speed force in advancing. He could still think fast, punch fast, and shoot fast, but his main power was almost fully cancelled out.

[@loleexpppcondition83]

Amazing video as always. Have learned so much of dc and marvel just by watching you, without you I would only know about the characters in the movies.

[@georgetinker1292]

This is why John's should not only write and produce the next lantern movie. But,direct...

[@darrusfields1473]

Thanks for the best comic book channel on KZbin

[@mittensfastpaw]

Poozers! God so glad you are covering it. So much great content and I never did read it all. I have gaps and got the start and end. Just glad your covering it.

[@DinkyInkyCloudyKinky]

Hey rob I know you probably dont read these but just want you to know I really appreciate your videos. Your enthusiasm makes me catching up with comics so much more fun. Thanks alot meng

[@rlstockling]

u get to excited to end videos i been watching for a few months and i like how explain Comics Great job....

[@ThaKenMan]

Always a pleasure to watch these videos Rob!!

[@everettlogan2433]

So let me get this straight... The book of Oa, is the Green Lanterns comic book, INSIDE the Green Lanterns comic?

[@greenghost7907]

Everett Logan Yup. I got a copy, myself. Don't look directly into it.

[@madscientistshusta]

Everett Logan sometime a good comic can get just as convoluted as a good Manga lol.

[@joluoto]

Comiception

[@eksine]

so how do you read it if you can't look at it

[@joluoto]

with great determination

[@zacharytyler543]

im a nerd at heart. or a geek? pick your poison but i dont have time to read all the comics like i used to when i was in school. Your youtube channel really is great for people like me to get all neerded out ovver stuff that i miss from my childhood you know. Thank you for this.

[@alexanderfernandez9993]

Great video bro. Hope the next part is up soon, so good.

[@larrysoutherland358]

Dear Rob(ert): I thought you were going to provide a playlist of the order of the videos one should watch the Green Lantern mythos in in the description, but I do no see same herein. Thank you for all your hard work, Larry

[@RadinV1]

In case you still need the reading order after 2 years: Secret origins Rebirth No fear Recharge Revenge of the green lanterns Wanted-hal jordan Mystery of the star sapphires Sinestro corps war Rage of the red lanterns Agent orange Blackest night Brightest day War of the green lanterns War of the green lanterns:aftermath

[@matthewlopez7245]

What about that Ivan Reis art though? Seriously! I mean holy crap it is b-e-a-utiful!! I personally consider that the main staple of Geoff Johns Green Lantern run.

[@Yukooo333]

Ikr???! Ivan Reis art is so good! I think Ivan Reis is perfect for Green Lantern... God... i miss Geoff John and Ivan Reis working together for Green Lantern story, both are the best for GL :")

[@jaycassel2218]

Great video dude! Glad to see the Corps. is growing. Liking every video I watch. keep it up!

[@spaceyosh713]

We have begun a great journey rob corp

[@Drak7282]

That's awesome...I just started reading the Geoff johns run Saturday, almost done with sinestro corps war

[@ShockWithoutFear]

Recently reread the secret origin story and it's fantastic being able to come back to this video and hear discussions about it and the thoughts others had I truly love thie origin, probably my favourite comic origin ever

[@grimmjonog6851]

Dude, TY for getting back to doing GL stuff, I read them, but it's still fun to watch your videos, and then spam them to all my friends.

[@adrienrodriguez250]

thank you very much rob. we asked for more green lantern and you gave graciously!

[@ctusiard9755]

Hey, Rob, could you do a video on DC's Zero Hour or Infinite Crisis. I would love to have you explain that storyline. Keep on with your videos, I really enjoy them!

[@kennethmartin8715]

atropical penguin do you ever watch comics explained?

[@theoneabove6828]

Kenneth Martin: homeless in Houston he haven't done infinite crisis

[@kennethmartin8715]

Mark Tashman dude he talks about infinite crisis so much of you can't figure it out you're a moron

[@charlieteneyck6797]

I was just thinking of commenting asking for a Zero hour video that’s funny.

[@jab2ez]

you should keep doing the Green Lantern Videos because I am only subscribed to Comics Explained. Your videos reach me when no one else's does.

[@YataL]

Thank you I have something to listen to on Sunday

[@doctorleak5312]

keep up the amazing content rob

[@justinperry2768]

Keep up the good work Rob!

[@ruthlessking74]

You need to get to a million Subscribers bro, I'm sending it to everyone i know.

[@ej13012010]

bro I'm so happy u did this

[@maarek71]

rob, quite a few test pilots ARE active duty military. they get assignments to work with the civilian companies.

[@djblakk86]

well now I'm hooked to this series and I'm going to need more Rob... world war hulk all over again

[@martinpyka2150]

You should definitely do Emerald Dawn II while you're at it since it connects to the rest of secret origin and explains why Sinestro left the Green Lantern perfectly. Also, it's just a lot of fun.

[@masjidrats2012]

sinestro corps war is the best green lantern comic ive ever read

[@lukasszalbot1636]

nicewarlock I'd say the same thing, until I read this story (sinestro corps war) I thought rebirth was the best and that was after reading blackest night, brightest day green arrow/green lantern.

[@DavidoffProductions]

Really enjoyed this

[@mimirofthebifrostteats5380]

Hell yeah, thanks rob!

[@anthonyruiz7395]

Love your vids

[@jab2ez]

Got darn it Rob you are going to stop with those cliffhanger​s. Lol We are dying here.

[@slippy1809]

howdy Rob! how about a video discussing which jet of the avengers and xmen is superior and why? that would absolutely make my year!

[@yoda4833]

Tombar ray said what I've been thinking about one part of Hal's origin: "A ship? He didn't need that ship" Until this story, that part always bugged me

[@Eudaimonia239]

great video, I love GL, my favorite dc mythos after superman and batman.

[@lassie105]

Awesome!!!! Can't wait till u get to sinestro corps war!!!

[@datboi864]

I like the new intro!!

[@TheOfficalLutube]

You should do who would win in a fight ! Like I always wanted to know who would win as an example Captain America versus Deathstroke or something. I love the content! #robcore

[@rorschach221]

Rob is smashing through this series

[@madscientistshusta]

it's 10:35 pm, fuck it IL fit all of green Lantern from beginning to end in now and 7 am tomorrow. thanks for that rob.

[@Perf0Cell]

Great vid

[@michaelschnupp1854]

Geoff Johns Green Lantern run is possibly the greatest run on a character, Rob makes the perfect analogy with Hickman and avengers/new avengers

[@chriscoolmoreno]

I read the entire series like 2 or 3 years ago and yeah I fell in love with each series. sinestro wars. red lanterns. the corps. and averting else

[@mariotovar8285]

Dude, i need a playlist for all Green Lantern content. I'm like jumping from one vid to another, and i feel kind of lost :c

[@amiradicoolisa8407]

Mario Tovar there is one. look for it.

[@ensabahnur7657]

Love this, great memories!

[@Peecamarke]

I like how you exp.lain it for people like me who come from a Marvel perspective!

[@bmbm1]

Hey Rob could we maybe get a video addressing Jokers real identity and the possibilities of who he could be?

[@jennsolomon5547]

Your cool love your channel

[@seanfowler1374]

Love ur vids, I've never read many comics where would be a good comic to start reading about either the flash or batman?

[@noobslayer135]

Geoff Johns run is amazing. Just finished it a few months ago

[@akashshanmugam7162]

I have never read the original rebirths but this series seems AMAAAAAAAAZINGG!

[@patbrady3738]

I got this book at my school library. I love it!

[@TevyaSmolka]

great origin video for green lantern man

[@ivaneacker7954]

this helped a lot, ive been wanting to know the origins of gl

[@pizzaman1036089]

Rob Im gonna be asking every video! Can you go over blackest night pleasseeeee

[@vmorales225]

I can't wait for your reaction to Blackest Night

[@GabrielGarcia-lw4tb]

I just love the lanterns stories so much

[@gabrielthedarkangel]

love this video, love the lanterns

[@amor-sana]

I could hear these stories a million times. We need a Green Lantern, live action, TV Show. Based on what we have seen with the Flash TV show, we could get something truly great.

[@damienlee54]

Severely underated imo.

[@KEVINPHONGDOH]

Does anybody know the song played at the end, it was really good? @comicsexplained Do you know the song you played at the end, I really like it and plan to download it into my phone and also keep up the good work, get that 1million sub man.

[@noitidrep]

That's how i really started reading comics with annihilation and i must say theyare master pieces.

[@snakelikeme]

How dare you leave me on that cliff hanger

[@saintslapaho1284]

MOAR!!

[@paulmccreery7027]

MORE, I say. I demand MORE! lmao

[@ghostarmor87]

Rob please do a segment on Shuma Gorath and or the history of The Hand

[@greatparthos]

Rob! You didn't leave the reading order and video order in the description! Just a heads up 😄

[@cmbaz1140]

ha ha ha i imagine you Rob,under a fort made of blankets with a flashlight reading comics.....ha ha ha

[@arrownoir]

Do Nekron (And Maxima how to kill, followed by her origin vid) pweeeeeez!

[@ishmaelhutson5328]

Where do you get your music? I love your background music in the videos.

[@MadaEel2011]

can u make a green lantern playlist. i wana get into it like u did with ur hulk playlist

[@bpmclean]

Rob, did you read the book that Alan Moore wrote that was a seed to the whole darkest night storyline?

[@LocoLu526]

Btw love the cliffhangers

[@giovanyhernandez3487]

You should make this it's separate series from the other green lanterns just so that it becomes less convoluted

[@ap-05]

Rob, could you start a podcast and put your longer (20min+) vids on there? So they can be listened to offline

[@firetarrasque4667]

OH MY GOD YES!

[@famillechoi]

perez5 yes

[@romanguerrero4872]

More. Faster. I need more!

[@DN-cf5rz]

Do you have a podcast or something like that where your content is other than KZbin?

[@Gigas0101]

The F-Sharp Bells might be a good one off, it's a good example of some of the weirder, really out there stuff the green lanterns did. In Loudest Din and Hush Profound, man.

[@CboTheSecond]

Your move Comicstorian.

[@whitest_rabbit69]

give me that sinestro corp wars then blackest night and that brightest day

[@dakotalee3463]

Hey man I'm just curious I know its not marvel or dc but have you ever thought about reviewing or explaining a comic called the boys?

[@tommyvasquez2708]

Yo rob can you do a history of the elemental forces in the dc universe

[@soumahsekou3626]

can you make videos on 90s green lantern

[@colintaylor592]

hey Rob how is it you actually get those high quality panels in your videos?

[@madscientistshusta]

Colin Taylor that's a good question!

[@JR-dd4ec]

Rob pllllllease do Green lantern! I prefer your channel over comicstorian

[@ronnieeastep4246]

love it

[@UnifiedEntity]

Just to be clear, Yellow lanterns power wasnt derived from Parallax right? It was just because Sinestro used the emotional spectrum ( fear) to make the sinestro (yellow) lantern corp?

[@keanueugene6331]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO! dude these cliffhangers are gonna be the death of one day but not before i see world war 3 on this channel

[@bradleymikkelsen3284]

Alan Moore had told us that the five inversions killed him ages ago ComicsExplained

[@rainey8866]

Can you do a Origin video on Dr. Fate?

[@Ali_M3]

Woah, taking over Benny's role as the main guy when it comes to GL

[@RonOnTheWay]

Rob, can you even join the airforce at 18? ( as a pilot ) you have to go through ROTC first I thought.

[@LocoLu526]

Rob can you please give us a video on batman vs predator and JLA vs predator..... please

[@TheIcenero]

THE LINKS NOT IN THE DESCRIPTION ROB
