Just One of the Guys Episode #174

Still slogging through the Ben Raab run on Green Lantern, we’re finally nearing the end in issue 174 of the book. Now that Salmon Shadowhawk, a.k.a. Vasquez, a.k.a. Green Lantern Kyle Rayner has ingratiated himself with Amon Sur and the Black Circle, you’d think he wouldn’t do something stupid like reveal his secret identity to the bounty hunter that was chasing him down over the past few issues. Well, you’d be wrong, because Ben Raab is writing this book and he’s bound and determined to make EVERY character in this book act like a complete idiot. Or in the case of Jenny Lynn Hayden, a complete tramp who feels the need to spy on her boyfriend…no not Kyle, her OTHER boyfriend…who just happens to be as much of a philanderer as she is. GRRRrrrr!!! But to soften the blow, we do get some improved artwork by one of my favorite current artists, Jamal Igle, so that helps soften the blow. And we only have one more issue of this, so things are looking up. So unless you want to get and acid hand slap to the eyes (which might be preferable if this were last week’s issue), I suggest you grab your mp3 player of choice, download the show, and get to listening!
