The Origin of Green Lantern/Hal Jordan (Green Lantern: Secret Origin Vol 1)

[@DaManJoeWho]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@darrusfields1473]

Thanks for the best comic book channel on KZbin

[@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.

[@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

[@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.

[@jaycassel2218]

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

[@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.

[@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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@georgetinker1292]

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

[@Drak7282]

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

[@rlstockling]

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

[@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

[@djblakk86]

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

[@adrienrodriguez250]

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

[@spaceyosh713]

We have begun a great journey rob corp

[@ThaKenMan]

Always a pleasure to watch these videos Rob!!

[@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

[@YataL]

Thank you I have something to listen to on Sunday

[@maarek71]

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

[@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 :")

[@ruthlessking74]

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

[@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.

[@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

[@alexanderfernandez9993]

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

[@ej13012010]

bro I'm so happy u did this

[@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.

[@rorschach221]

Rob is smashing through this series

[@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

[@justinperry2768]

Keep up the good work Rob!

[@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.

[@doctorleak5312]

keep up the amazing content rob

[@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!

[@noobslayer135]

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

[@jab2ez]

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

[@bmbm1]

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

[@MasterREB]

Just like in Star Wars. Just because someone is force sensitive doesn't mean they have to become a Jedi.

[@mam31492]

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.

[@Eudaimonia239]

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

[@datboi864]

I like the new intro!!

[@damienlee54]

Severely underated imo.

[@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

[@bpmclean]

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

[@lassie105]

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

[@mimirofthebifrostteats5380]

Hell yeah, thanks rob!

[@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

[@Peecamarke]

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

[@DavidoffProductions]

Really enjoyed this

[@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

[@noitidrep]

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

[@cmbaz1140]

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

[@patbrady3738]

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

[@akashshanmugam7162]

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

[@TevyaSmolka]

great origin video for green lantern man

[@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.

[@proudsaiyanprince2651]

Just here to say that Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps #16 has cemented Guy Gardner as the single best Green Lantern.

[@GabrielGarcia-lw4tb]

I just love the lanterns stories so much

[@snakelikeme]

How dare you leave me on that cliff hanger

[@ensabahnur7657]

Love this, great memories!

[@TheIcenero]

THE LINKS NOT IN THE DESCRIPTION ROB

[@ivaneacker7954]

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

[@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.

[@giovanyhernandez3487]

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

[@PirateJohnson]

Forget sleep, this warrants unhindered completion. The only thing that'll suck, is the fact that you'll want more when it ends. No stops till Blackest Night!!!

[@vmorales225]

I can't wait for your reaction to Blackest Night

[@ghostarmor87]

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

[@anthonyruiz7395]

Love your vids

[@greatparthos]

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

[@bradleymikkelsen3284]

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

[@culvernile2255]

contrary to popular belief, gj did not create the death of Martin Jordan. that was written by different writers in the emerald dawn mini in 89.

[@pizzaman1036089]

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

[@soumahsekou3626]

can you make videos on 90s green lantern

[@Zappdon450]

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

[@ITpanda]

Da/\/ it Rob! gotta stop doing that. What a place to leave off. Your​ awesome, keep it up.

[@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?

[@rainey8866]

Can you do a Origin video on Dr. Fate?

[@ishmaelhutson5328]

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

[@KeanuEugene]

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

[@arrownoir]

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

[@JR-dd4ec]

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

[@paulmccreery7027]

MORE, I say. I demand MORE! lmao

[@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?

[@Perf0Cell]

Great vid

[@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.

[@matthewedwards5061]

Do the entire series of The Green lantern or I don't eat chicken ever

[@gabrielthedarkangel]

love this video, love the lanterns

[@mrflores6327]

I'm confused, is this a revamped story in the 2000s that retells the Green lantern mythos, or is it during the 90s, before the emerald timeline publication.

[@jennsolomon5547]

Your cool love your channel

[@Just_Some_Guy_with_a_Mustache]

A naked red man is about where I would call it quits as a space cop.

[@tommyvasquez2708]

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

[@colintaylor592]

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

[@madscientistshusta]

Colin Taylor that's a good question!

[@Gemcitylex]

That cliff hanger was heartless
