Deleted Scenes - DC Reboot: Part VIII: What might had been...
Enough with the actual reboot/relaunch/revampe/whateva of the DCUniverse!
Let's check out some of the designs sketched by Jim Lee that might had been...
Some differences might not be that evident... But others on the other hand...
Funny enough, I find some of these concept arts much better than the actual costumes we'll get in September.
So let's check 'em out:
They even redesigned Jonah Hex and the DC old west universe? I mean, really??
At least with Jonah Hex serial style it won't be that apparent and most artists will skip Jim Lee's suggestions...
O...kay... Animal Man doesn't have a "costume" anymore but this strange look? (3rd pic)
Why didn't they pick the above revamps of this costume?
Nope...still not a fan.
And this above look was too much Stephanie Brown anyway...way to disappoint more fans in one costume.
BOP Black Canary in a new costume closer to the original one (unlike the final version)...Okay...
Katana in her all-new tenth billion variant costume.
'nuff said!
Okay, I like how it looks here, the drawing itself, despite the useless new details added to his classic look.
Aaaah!! Green Arrow all Smallville-ified!!! °___°
The horror! The ugly douche beard! Ahhh!!
This one screams EXTREME!!!90s!!!WOLVERINES!!!
I, Vampire!! Turned all emo/Twilight...
Blah :(
[ Not fan enough of the Legion to add smart comment here]
This trio is so...random.
Anyway, kinda like and hate those.
Jason Todd's official DC's Deadpool now. (have you seen the covers? The mask moves and smiles and stuff...)
Roy Harper looks great!
Starfire's sluttier now...but I love the magma hair in this pic!!
Haaaa!!! Deadshot!! Not you too!!
Harley?! What did they do to you? They replaced you by your evil slutty twin, right?? Right??
Superboy finally gets a costume after a decade of casual superhero-ying.
Supergirl doesn't have Peter Parker skills to make costumes..she even missed a whole spot at knees level.
Okay~
Beside, we can't have a good look at Superman's complete costume here.
The collar.....aah!!
Is that Wally West? Bart Allen? Anyway the above picture could have a good costume if colors were reversed (Red on the top, Yellow bellow). Not a fan of his mohawk on the second one though~
Much better! Much classier! Love those two iterations of Wonder Girl's costume here.
The above one has a sort of Greek/Mythic vibe to it, though not really superhero-ysh. The second one is great and does look Wonder Girly enough. Why did they end up making her into a thief/gypsy take on a Donna Troy-fancharacter??
And that is all~

Comic NEWS! DC Reboot: Part VI
You liking the direction of this DCnU? Hating it? Mixed feelings?
Here's even more relaunched titles!
This time featuring the less known heroes of the DCU (Jonah Hex..), the series that had been left hanging (Blue Beetle...) and the Superman titles!
Lots of rumours are coming up. The latest to date?
Those are 52 new comics, right?
Well, some think they will each be taking place in one of DC's 52 different Earths/Universe!
Crazy, right? How to support this theory? Well, some characters seem to appear using different costumes. Which ones? Well, Superman for example, on this JLA cover above on the left, the new Action Comics and his own title below. Superboy in yesterday's Titans cover and his own book below as well.
These same people think it's all part of a new big event, like Grant Morrison's earlier trip to the future in DC 1 billion, where all issues jumped to #1000000 but this time rather than the far future they're all jumping back to #1.
Might turn out fake, but I like this theory.
And Gail Simone talked about the new Batgirl title. Apart from the fact this is actually the first time Barbara Gordon!Batgirl will actually have her own title she let us know some interesting tidbits. Like Cass Cain and Stephanie Brown might show up in Babs' book. And the fact that the whole history of Oracle/the wheelchair won't be negated and have still happened prior to this new direction. I can't wait to read her explanation/reason behind this return of Barbara... (did she fire Steph? how can she play Batgirl, isn't she disabled anymore?)
Anyway, here's the newly revealed titles.
A new era of DC Comics begins as the longest-running monthly comic of all time releases its first issue #1 since 1938.
This September, New York Times bestselling writer Grant Morrison (ALL-STAR SUPERMAN) joins with sensational artist Rags Morales to bring you tales of The Man of Tomorrow unlike any you’ve ever read before in ACTION COMICS #1. This momentous first issue will set in motion the history of the DC Universe as Superman defends a world that doesn’t trust their first Super Hero.
The first Action Comics #1 is now the most sought-after comic book of all time. This September, one of comics’ most imaginative storytellers will make history again in Grant Morrison and Rags Morales’ ACTION COMICS #1.
Huh....?
What happened to The Man of Steel?
Superman, "The Working Class Hero"?
What is Superman’s startling new status quo? How does it affect his friends, loved ones and his job at The Daily Planet? Find out in SUPERMAN #1, written by legendary comics creator George Perez (CRISIS ON INFINITE EARTHS, NEW TEEN TITANS and WONDER WOMAN) and illustrated by Jesus Merino.
As you can see it's not the exact same costume than on JLA #1..or was it a mistake on the artist's part?
Will Jesus Merino be able to make this new look visually stunning...or is Jim Lee's design impossible to save?
That's quite a RAAAAGE!!-full cover for a relaunch..strange direction.
Also, I didn't knew the Kryptonians needed armour, they've never been warrior-like figures... Or will dwarves armed with Kryptonite try to punch his knees??
They thought he was just a failed experiment, grown from a combination of Kryptonian and human DNA. But when the scope of his stunning powers was revealed, he became a deadly weapon. SUPERBOY #1 will be written by Scott Lobdell with art by R.B. Silva and Rob Lean.
Is this the same Superboy as the one from Titans? Or even another 2nd clone?
Anyway, I don't believe in having 2 Superboys around...
Weird cover..like an actual reboot, or... Possibly a hint of the storyline in his own title?
Tron X Superboy crossover?
Sparta? (= madness)
Wait and see..
Supergirl’s got the unpredictable behavior of a teenager, the same powers as Superman and none of his affection for the people of Earth. Writers Michael Green and Mike Johnson (Smallville, SUPERMAN/BATMAN) will team up with artist Mahmud Asrar to give a new take on the teenager from Krypton in SUPERGIRL #1.
"and none of his affection for the people of Earth" Wait...What??
I'm actually fine with this new costume. Heck, Robin!Dick Grayon wore a similar costume for years and nobody had a problem with it.
(did I just write Kara and Dick wear similar costumes?)
While Clark and Kon seem to be quite armoured (for...some reason?) Kara is exactly the opposite. Even better than no kneecaps armour, nothing!?
Harley Quinn! Deadshot! King Shark! They’re a team of death-row super villains recruited by the government to take on missions so dangerous – they’re sheer suicide! Who will be the first to crack under the pressure? Find out in SUICIDE SQUAD #1, written by Adam Glass (FLASHPOINT: LEGION OF DOOM) with art by Marco Rudy (THE SHIELD).
Mmmh.. huh...yeah..ah...
Harley looking more of a "slut" (to write it down straight away) than in the Arkham Asylum/City games?
And this one will be replacing the Secret Six book...without Gail Simone...
Here's what she had to say about that on her twitter:
"Huh. I didn't know there was going to be a SUICIDE SQUAD book with King Shark and Deadshot. That would have been nice to know, guys."'nuff said!
It’s not easy being Jaime Reyes. He has to deal with high school, family and all the drama that comes with being a teenager. Also, he’s linked to a powerful scarab created by an alien race who seek to subjugate planets – or annihilate them. It’s up to one teen hero to turn this instrument of destruction into a force for good in BLUE BEETLE #1, written by Tony Bedard (GREEN LANTERN CORPS) and illustrated by Ig Guara (FLASHPOINT: GRODD OF WAR) and Ruy Jose.
Yay! Blue Beetle's got his on-going back! I knew we'd have that!
Well, this, a Red Beetle series or Ted Kord resurrected...but so far this looks more like a relaunch than a reboot. (nobody's been resurrected for example)
And it seems it will follow the recent developments as seen on Blue Beetle's back-up feature in Booster Gold.
A metahuman mercenary who made a living taking out the toughest targets, Deathstroke will reclaim his fearsome legacy by any means necessary in DEATHSTROKE #1, a new series from rising star Kyle Higgins (Batman: Gates of Gotham) and artists Joe Bennett and Art Thibert.
Here's another new book for Deathstroke, DC really wants him to become their equivalent of Marvel's Wolverine. So they give him a book every now and then.
Stormwatch is a dangerous super human strike force whose existence is kept secret from the world. Jack Hawksmoor and the rest of the crew look to recruit two of the deadliest super humans on the planet: Midnighter and Apollo. And if they say no? Perhaps the Martian Manhunter can change their minds. Featuring a surprising new roster, STORMWATCH #1 will be written by the critically-acclaimed Paul Cornell (Superman: The Black Ring, “Dr. Who”) and illustrated by Miguel Sepulveda.
A Wildstorm series of a Wildstorm team of character...featuring now the Martian Manhunter?
Awww...
With Brightest Day and all, I was hoping they'd give J'onn J'onzz his own on-going series...
Blackhawk is an elite group of mercenaries made up of brave men from around the world equipped with the latest in cutting-edge hardware and vehicles. Their mission: Kill the bad guys before they kill us. A set of contemporary tales that battle the world’s gravest threats, BLACKHAWKS #1 will be written by Mike Costa and illustrated by Ken Lashley.
A new Blackhawk team? Will it feature Birds of Prey's Zinda?
The grandson of the original Sgt. Rock assumes the command of Easy Company, a team of crack ex-military men financed by a covert military contractor, as they brave the battle-scarred landscape carved by the DC Universe’s super-villains. SGT. ROCK AND THE MEN OF WAR #1 is contemporary military story fighting under modern conditions, and will be written by Ivan Brandon and illustrated by Tom Derenick.
Another military oriented comic.
For DC's much more diversified line of comics as they said.
Going back to Gotham City when it was just a one-horse town, crime is running wild as you would expect. Things don't get better when bounty Hunter Jonah Hex comes to town. Amadeus Arkham, a pioneer in criminal psychology, tries to enlist Hex to help the Gotham City Police Department track down a serial killer. Back up stories will star DC's other western heroes. All-Star Western #1 will be written by the fan-favorite Jonah Hex team of Jimmy Palmiotti and Justin Gray. Art will be by Moritat.
At least, that's the pitch of the first issue.
I'm hoping we'll see more of the DCU's own Old West characters, like Batlash or the Trigger Twins or El Diablo!
And I'm glad we'll have the same writers stay on Jonah Hex!
Ex-black ops agent Cole Cash is a charming grifter that few can resist. And yet he’s about to be branded a serial killer when he begins hunting and exterminating inhuman creatures hidden in human form – creatures only he can see. Can the biggest sweet talker of all time talk his way out of this one when even his brother thinks he’s gone over the edge? Find out in GRIFTER #1, written by Nathan Edmondson with art by CAFU and BIT (the team behind T.H.U.N.D.E.R. AGENTS).
Bringing more of Jim Lee's WildC.A.T.S. into the DCU.
That's right, it's a Wildstorm Comics character with a brand new book. (Jim Lee didn't even redesign him for that matter!)
In OMAC #1, a man loses control of his life as the omnipresent Brother Eye transforms him against his will into a powerful killing machine. Written by DC Comics Co-Publisher Dan DiDio and co-written and illustrated by Keith Giffen and Scott Koblish.
We've almost reached all 52 new #1s.
What d'you think so far?
Happy for the relaunch? Fearing it?
I think we've seen some great things, even in the new designs, but also some pretty bad decisions..
It's a mixed bag...

CBR:Quickies Green Lantern (3) BLACKEST NIGHT
Keeping with the Halloween theme, Zombies invade my review and the DCU today~
Here's the long overdue review of the Blackest Night comic book event.
Be sure to check out my previous Green Lantern reviews beforehand, easily found with the CBR link button at the top of the blog.
"In brightest day, in blackest night,
No evil shall escape my sight
Let those who worship evil's might,
Beware my power... Green Lantern's light!"
Well... This was bound to happen sometime...
The Blackest Night finally took place in a big game-changing event in the DCUniverse. From 2009 to 2010, the Black Lanterns invaded DC Comics and ran upon Earth itself.
The rise of the dead was always prophecized in the GL's own oath. But it was in the recent events that all the signs started to appear. First, the renegage Green Lantern created a corps in his own twisted image, the Sinestro Corps. Then Star Sapphire was revealed to be part of the violet corps. Red Lanters started their rampage in the cosmos. The mysterious Agent Orange was discovered. Finally both a wishful Blue Lanterns Corps and a careful Indigo Tribe entered the scene.
Now all the dead rise under the fist of Black Hand, former GL villain and now much more...
Nekron plans start to appear in the big picture....what else did the Guardians of the Universe hide or try to protect from mortals?
So, how to follow this mega-event created by mastermind Geoff Johns? What books to read, which order?
Well, I still think the order in which they were published is the best suited and more recommended way..but if like me, you mostly follow trade paperbacks, here's a Review:Quickies~
Below, the best order to read those as recommended by DC Comics at the end of each one of those.
Comic title: BLACKEST NIGHT Written by Geoff Johns
Art by Ivan Reis and Oclair Albert
Format: Trade collecting Blackest Night #0–8
The story begins with The Flash/Barry Allen and Green Lantern/Hal Jordan. Both heroes remember the past, their fallen comrades...
It's heroes day. While everywhere in the world people remember the heroes that are no more, while the four main human Green Lanterns light the sky on Coast City...somewhere, far away, the dead start to rise under the command of Black Hand who's back to torment the living....
Quickly, Black Lanterns start to attack all superheroes and any living creature they find. Like an infection, death grows fast in the heroes' ranks. The BL Martian Manhunter attacks Hal and Barry, Hawkman is killed by BL Elongated Man, Ray Palmer/The Atom nearly escapes...
Far away, at the centre of the Universe, the Guardians watch, as always, the events going out of hands. But then, even protected there the Black Lanterns corrupts and destroys...
Finally, all the Corps in the whole Universe try to fight back the invasion who seems to be directed on sectore 2814, on planet Earth...what is Nekron's ultimate goal? What did the Guardians really hide there? Who will fall? Who shall rise? And when will the Brightest Day finally bring peace to this madness??
Overall: Collected here is the core part of this event. If you only had to read and get one of thse books, this is it!
It's pretty fun to see all these pieces coming together. You can really see Johns' master plan being brought to life after all those past clues and references from his past run on Green Lantern!
The art of Ivan Reis is, like always, fantastic! He really surpassed himself this time, like only George Perez would have been. Tons of characters, hundreds of details and a thousands of these sort of epic panels!
Some moments seem to pass quickly or be fast overseen..it's natural, the following books below will help you see the bigger picture.
The TPB contains an intro, recaps, Black Lanterns sketches and a behind the scenes commentary by the Blackest Night team, discussing several panels and sequences of this event, noting cameos and allusions to the past. (all following BN books contain the rest of BL members sketches, so don't miss those out~)
Honestly, it's a must for newbie Green Lantern fans and long time ones too.
Plus the DC history which is affected in this event is simply presented for newcomers and this is a game changing story, meaning new status quo introduced in here!
Must read!!
I give this one a: 3 / 3 Score!
Comic title: BLACKEST NIGHT: Green Lantern Written by Geoff Johns
Art by Doug Mahnke, Ed Benes and others
Format: Trade collecting Green Lantern vol. 4 #43–52
Since Blackest Night told the events from the DCU point of view, collected in here are the issues of Green Lantern to be precise.
The story opens with the Book of the Black making a small recap of the events to be, then it's the origin of Black Hand finally detailed. Who is he, where does he come from, how was he growing up?
It will directly unfold then into the same story as the main BN book.
We see different point of views. Same stories, same moments, only different eyes.
The Black Lanterns are merely secondary players here, the heroes are Hal Jordan, John Stewart, Sinestro, Carol Ferris. In the end, we have a new perspective on what happened exactly, much more emotion-centered.
Overall: Taking place at the same time of the previous book, it's a nice complementary book. Recommended too. If you only had to buy a second of these books and nothing more, this would be it.
I'm sure it will make new GL fans, it's very fun, dynamic and unique!
So much more than simply a "zombie infestation with Superheroes".
I give this one a: 2.5 / 3 Score!
Comic title: BLACKEST NIGHT: Green Lantern Corps Written by PETER J. TOMASI
Art by PATRICK GLEASON, REBECCA BUCHMAN and OTHERS
Format: Trade collecting Green Lantern Corps vol. 2 #39–47
In Green Lantern Corps are related what happened on the front side, battling the dead across space.
The main players here are GLCorps regulars, Kyle Rayner, Guy Gardner, Arisia, Soranik Natu, Kilowog, and many more~
While returning to Oa from Heroes day, Kyle and Guy meet up Princess Iolande and Natu. Suddenly, right from nowhere, an invasion of Black Lanterns start out.
The story deals with each of these heroes as they must survive the Blackest Night and their own personal drama. All must face what was really hidden in their hearts, be it Kyle and Natu's passion, Guy's rage or Kilowog's guilt..
In the later part of this book, the emerald corps confronts the other corps from the colored spectrum to finally face the dawn of this long, long night in a climatic final battle...
Overall: I've always been a big fan of the GLCorps book, and I wasn't disappointed by these eventful issues.
Tomasi really became a reliable writer for this book, and his story is as nervous and epic as Johns.
It's more fun to read this if you know a lot more about GL than who's the current "main" Lantern.
But it still is a fun approachable scifi superhero book. Probably the best team book currently on the shelve~
I give this one a: 2.5 / 3 Score!
Written by JAMES ROBINSON, PETER J. TOMASI and J.T. KRUL
Art by ED BENES, ARDIAN SYAF, EDDY BARROWS and OTHERS
Format: Trade collecting Blackest Night: Batman #1–3, Blackest Night: Superman #1–3 and Blackest Night: Titans #1–3
In Gotham City, Deadman tries to fight back and help out the other people alive. But when you're a ghost, it's quite difficult to make others hear you...
The new and improved dynamic duo of Batman/Dick Grayson and Robin/Damian Wayne, join up with the Red Robin to fight back their family brought back from death.
In another tale, Superman, Superboy, Supergirl and Krypto face up against returned deadly foes and friends like the Earth-2 Golden Age Superman...
Finally, the Teen Titans from different eras have a shocking face off against old foes and personal dilemas. Donna Troy confronts her dead husband and child, Beast Boy a former love from the past, Hank and Dove an intimate threat...
Overall: Collected here are the tie-in regular on-going DC series that were released under the Blackest Night banner.
My own favorites are probably in this first book of tie-ins. While the Teen Titans was nice enough, nothing much, the Batman and Superman issues are quite amazing.
Batman and the Robins battle dead parents and creepy BL foes. Nice cameos by 80s underrated enemies like Deacon Blackfire (from The Cult), Blockbuster, etc...
Superman explores the relation of his close "superman-family".
Nice tie-ins, not too forced and also not bad..in fact, quite good.
You'd think writting Batman stories in a world of zombies could have ended a bit out-of-character... Nice work team Blackest Night ;)
I give this one a: 2.5 / 3 Score!
Comic title: BLACKEST NIGHT: Black Lantern Corps: Volume 2 Written by JAMES ROBINSON, GEOFF JOHNS & GREG RUCKA
Art by SCOTT KOLINS, NICOLA SCOTT, EDDY BARROWS & RUY JOSE
Format: Trade collecting Blackest Night: Wonder Woman #1–3, Blackest Night: JSA #1–3 and Blackest Night: Flash #1–3
The Flash has to face his BL Rogues, while the living ones try to stay that way! Then Barry is later joined by Bart Allen/Kid Flash and Wally West/The Other Flash (ah!)
In the cities, superheroes try to protect the people. The JSA has to survive the night against the worst deadly foes...good guys turned into Black Lanterns.
Wonder Woman tries to stop a deadly BL Maxwell Lord, gets turned into a BL herself and finally is saved by and joins the Star Sapphires for a special issue!
Overall: Despite the cover, vol. 2 doesn't cover the stories of the undead heroes turned into Black Lanterns, but it contains the rest of the tie-in issues.
The Flash issues are a great way to make the point on what's going on in The Flash these days. The speedforce works differently now, there's 2 Flashes, the Rogue villains aren't exactly the same membres these days.. Loved this part!
The JSA one, whiel the art looks great, is a bit messy honestly...
Finally Wonder Woman is the smartest of these tie-ins. They were released near the end of the invasion, so it succeeds in covering different aspects such as the proper BL invasion, WW turned into one of those (in the main core Blackest Night issues, some books above) and WW after that, as a Star Sapphire.
Check it out if you're completly into BN or are a die-hard fan of any of the characters represented in here.
I give this one a: 2 / 3 Score!
Comic title: BLACKEST NIGHT: Rise of the Black Lanterns Written by GEOFF JOHNS, GREG RUCKA and OTHERS
Art by RYAN SOOK, DENYS COWAN and OTHERS
Format: Trade collecting Power of Shazam! #48, Catwoman #83, Question #37, Phantom Stranger #42, Weird Western Tales #71, Atom & Hawkman #46, Adventures Comics #7, Green Arrow #30 and Starman #81
With this book, DC decided to get into very interesting concepts.
For this event specially, several DC Comic titles were "resurrected" per say, for just this one time. Books that were cancelled (Catwoman, Hawkman...) or stopped since a long time (Weird Western Tales, Power of Shazam!) were brought back, continuing the old numbering and using similar art style on covers as their namesake.
First, the Atom & Hawkman doesn't explore their friendship, as the title implies, but explores this BN from Ray Palmer's tiny perspective.
But other issues tell the events of Blackest Night in a similar narration and construction of these revived series. The Phantom Stranger sees how magic is affected, with the help of a few guests.
Jonah Hex and a couple of other old west themed DC characters runs havock in the streets and pursue unfinished family business. Catwoman needs some resolution to what happened to Black Mask in the end of her series with the help of some Gotham Sirens.
Others, turned into these BL monsters, are now puppets in the hand of Nekron.
Oliver Queen/Green Arrow, as a Black Lantern, can only see him going through the night without a choice of his actions.
Superboy has a plan to lose the Black Ring, thanks to the help of his loved ones.
The new Question, Renee Montoya, has to face her old mentor and only her smarts will defeat this undead creature.
Overall: Loved the Green Arrow tie-in!
There! I said it!
I even would dare to say, I'd buy this for that single issue alone! :P
It was simply well written and amazing. A unique look at what's going on in the head of a Black Lantern.
The other stories are pretty good too, depending on your tast of DC characters. I'm still sad the writing duo of Jonah Hex, Palmiotti and Gray, didn't do the Weird West one....
Anyway, much better than the actual Blackest Night tie-ins above, these revived old DC titles are a great bunch to check out ;)
I give this one a: 2.5 / 3 Score!
Comic title: BLACKEST NIGHT: Tales of the Corps Written by GEOFF JOHNS, PETER J. TOMASI and STERLING GATES
Art by JERRY ORDWAY, IVAN REIS, DAVE GIBBONS, DOUG MAHNKE and OTHERS
Format: Trade collecting Blackest Night: Tales of the Corps #1–3, "Green Lantern" #49 and "Adventures Comics" #4-5
Dive into the colored Spectrum of Emotions with this collection of Tales of the various Corps.
Explore the different emotions with GL members Kilowog and Arisia, have a look at some core members of the Red or Blue Corps. Another tale of the Agent Orange. A unique outlook on Star Sapphires, Sinestro Corps and even the Indigo Tribe.
Also collected here are texts from the Book of the Black. Like a twisted diary "written by Black Hand", it explores the various colored Corps as well, under his vision.
Finally, a fun two parter with Superboy Prime. It doesn't make much sense and breaks the 4th wall, but is a nice touch to end this TPB.
Overall: This is sort of a parody of the old Tales of The Green Lantern Corps I reviewed already in my past CBR: Quickies.
Surely the most bizarre of these books.
The Tales in the 1st part are your usual GL stories. For you fans who want some more background on specific characters and/or Corps. Some are more scifi-ysh, others less.
The Book of the Black is...well..it's a bit weird, but in a good way. Not sure it will please everyone though-
Finally the Superboy Prime is a mean for Geoff Johns of saying "Stop hating Prime, haters! He's just, you know, a comic book character!". And it sort of deconstructs in an almost parody-like way these tie-in comics.
I mean, really.
Though the ending is a bit, huh, open-ended to interpretation.
I give this one a: 2 / 3 Score!
And that is all for the Blackest Night!~
As a final word, I'd like to say, simply put, this is how you do a comic event! I haven't had so much fun following a big scale crossover like this since Marvel's Civil War.
Great. Fun. On a large scale. Effecting the whole set of rules. And playing with a ton of characters and well treating them.
The comic book equivalent of a blockbuster!
Other (similar) recommendations?
You might want to check out, before or after reading this mega-event, the book Green Lantern: In Brightest Day, which contained important issues specially selected by Johns, or his current run. Best picks? Secret Origins, Rebirth, No Fear, Sinestro Corps, Rage of the Red Lanterns and Agent Orange.
And all this story lead out into the current Brightest Day era, which some believe might lead itself to another GL even in ~2012...
But that, is for another time, until then...~
