| The Green Lantern (Comic Book) | comment |
The Green Lantern is a comic book series published by DC Comics, launched in 2018 and written by Grant Morrison and art by Liam Sharp. It's also been touted by Morrison as their last mainstream comic work.Starring Hal Jordan as the titular Green Lantern once more, the series combines Space Opera and Police Procedural elements, as made clear with the title of issue #1: "Intergalactic Lawman."The series is a return to the cosmic cop stories of the past, with Jordan investigating crimes ranging from intergalactic space piracy to grand theft auto (as in, stealing the entire planet Earth). The primary threat building in the early issues involves the Blackstars, a fanatical offshoot of the Darkstars looking to replace the Green Lantern Corps as protectors of the universe. | |

Alternate Company Equivalent: Spectra of the Multiverse Green Lanterns is implied to be a version of Doctor Spectrum, the Green Lantern pastiche from Marvel's Squadron Supreme judging from her name and the prisms on her hands being reminiscent of Doctor Spectrum's Power Prism. | |

Alliance of Alternates | |
| The Green Lantern (Comic Book) / int_210f07ac | comment |
The Alliance of Alternates consisting of alternate Green Lanterns in the penultimate arc consists mainly of incarnations of Green Lantern from preceding continuities and previously established universes. The one exception is a new character named Spectra, who is almost certainly a female analogue of Doctor Spectrum, the Green Lantern stand-in from Marvel's Justice League Alternate Company Equivalent the Squadron Supreme. | |

Mythology Gag | |
| The Green Lantern (Comic Book) / int_26ac510e | comment |
Mythology Gag: The cover to issue #8 ("SPACE JUNKIES!") is a reference to the classic "Snowbirds Don't Fly" story first appearing in Green Lantern #85, where Green Arrow learns that his sidekick Speedy is an addict. When the Qwa-Man returns to his universe fully restored his uniform echos the look Kyle Rayner had in JLA where he was a weaponer of Qward; this was part of a dream reality created by the Key. | |

Declining an offer to formally return to the Green Lantern Corps, Hal Jordan opts to take his now Cosmic Grail-empowered ring to explore the universe solo because there's no place for him in the next phase of Corps' adventures. | |

Always Save The Love Interest: Reconstructed. While something of a vagabond tomcat, Hal always prioritizes the safety of his various lovers over more pragmatic ways of resolving his missions, and this is never depicted as anything less than a virtue. Weaponeer 666 on the other hand, willingly sacrifices Sinestro's life for the opportunity to bring down Qward. And even that might not have been enough. | |

Cosmic Retcon | |
| The Green Lantern (Comic Book) / int_7cdfe326 | comment |
There's some pretty spiteful jabs in Green Lantern: Blackstars #2 towards the concurrent state of DC Comics' status quo (which itself is heavily implied to be because of Hal's Cosmic Retcon by order of Mu): It's noted how Batman no longer seems to actually fight any crime but rather direct assaults to his personal well-being, with a direct reference to Tom King's tendency to repeat the phrase "breaking the bat" to emphasize how derivative and repetitive the whole shebang is at this point. And with Gotham plunged into yet another climactic chaos, Batman only has this to say: Superman notes how the superhero community have been struggling to keep up with the times, with special mention towards the prioritization of their mental health over saving people. When asked about the Justice League, it's noted how they seem to be stuck fighting ever increasingly bigger and bigger threats from a newly discovered region of the universe that isn't really that well thought out to begin with. Then Superman comments on what seems to be jabbering, snappy, quirky dialogue that takes a while to get to the point that's prevalent with him recently. The highly inconsistent writing Superman's been put through recently also gets a jab when Hal points how he doesn't even know "which" Superman he's talking to, since the last time he saw him, he was wearing jeans and a t-shirt. Superman himself is depicted as ineffectual, whiny, conservative in attitude, and concerned largely with the preservation of a toxic status quo. There's also the jab against how Wonder Woman is often portrayed as a bloodthirsty barbarian, a trope that was very prevalent in Geoff Johns's Justice League. One towards the Injustice franchise when the Blackstars takeover the Earth and bring about global peace and prosperity. With the remaining resistance of Batman, Lex Luthor, Catwoman, and others being described as reactionary elites afraid of their irrelevance in the face of money being useless. | |

Conservation of Ninjutsu | |

Conservation of Ninjutsu: Deconstructed. As a team, the Weaponeers seem less effective than the Qwa-Man (read: Weaponeer 666) from Season 1. The reason? Being the Antimatter version of Hal Jordan, Weaponeer 666 is the greatest among them, and is intentionally holding himself back in an attempt to trick both sides into destroying the Lightning Forge of the Qwa-Masters. | |

Lawyer-Friendly Cameo | |
| The Green Lantern (Comic Book) / int_8e92e125 | comment |
Lawyer-Friendly Cameo: Crowd shots on the vampire planet Vorr includes cameos by vampire characters not owned by DC, most notably Marvel Comics' Blade and Morbius the Living Vampire. The Alliance of Alternates consisting of alternate Green Lanterns in the penultimate arc consists mainly of incarnations of Green Lantern from preceding continuities and previously established universes. The one exception is a new character named Spectra, who is almost certainly a female analogue of Doctor Spectrum, the Green Lantern stand-in from Marvel's Justice League Alternate Company Equivalent the Squadron Supreme. | |

Glamour Failure | |
| The Green Lantern (Comic Book) / int_90984c54 | comment |
Glamour Failure: The Shepherd who purchases the Earth from the planetary auction is a spitting image for Zeus or the Old Testament God. This is revealed to be a ruse meant to gain the trust of the human race, as Jordan reveals him to be a monstrous, reptilian creature who feeds off of planets after a thousand years of "ripening." In a subversion of how people typically react to this trope, the human race claims they've gotten past judging people for their looks if it means they get to keep their super-powers and tell Jordan they're fine with it. | |

Hypocrisy Nod | |

In a Hypocrisy Nod, Hector Hammond reveals that Abin Sur and the Green Lantern Corps saved Athmoora by effectively trapping it in its medieval times, stunting its societal growth so they won't even be able to move to inventing the steam engine. While Hal admits fault for never bothering to rectify Abin Sur's actions, he'll still defend it with all his heart, and Hal's Athmooran allies declare love for Athmoora the way it is. In other words, Grant Morrison admits fault to feeding into the nostalgia and Status Quo Is God doctrine of the comics industry but they still admit pride in what they had accomplished in their writing career. | |

Continuity Nod: Hal makes reference to Heroes in Crisis and Flash Forward, lamenting his absence during these events and showing concern about Wally West. When a Guardian notes that they should consider the feelings and opinions of the dead, Hal retorts that they would've supported the Blackest Night. Hal's time as The Spectre is given focus in Issue #7, as well his history of romantic trysts, identities, jobs, and dark times. All of which to say that he's a complex human being who's been through a lot rather than a living series of contradictions like the New Guardians are thinking. | |

Dogged Nice Guy | |
| The Green Lantern (Comic Book) / int_a2492aff | comment |
Dogged Nice Guy: A more cynical take on this trope is done with Earth 11's Green Lantern, Hal Ferris. Hal Ferris clearly thinks he's a Nice Guy when he tries to woo who he thinks is his universe's Carol Jordan (actually the prime universe's Carol Ferris) in to marrying him. In reality he's a self-pitying, misogynistic creep. It only takes the slightest bit of apprehension on her part for him to go in to an angry tirade about women only want bad boys before resolving to force her be with him. | |

Take That! | |
| The Green Lantern (Comic Book) / int_b53077b3 | comment |
Take That!: While Morrison has Hal apologetically acknowledge his lack of presence and involvement in Heroes in Crisis and Flash Forward, it's somewhat also in a Here We Go Again!, "eyes rolling" tone as Hal refers to it as "another meltdown or big crisis". And Barry shrugs that everyone's just waiting for yet another Cosmic Retcon to sweep the slate clean. In the penultimate issue, the Young Guardians state that they intend to fire Hal Jordan and replace him with Earth-based Lanterns who have less real self-determination to prevent future individualistic opposition to their collective behavioral authority. These being Sojourner Mullien, Tai Pham, and Keli Quintela. Issue 12 has some words: It has some critical thoughts about how The Bus Came Back or Reimagining the Artifact is handled in modern comics (pay attention to repeated usage of the word "modern", by the way), mainly how any classic characters that are brought back are ultimately brought back as grotesque "action figures" or ugly oversexualized dolls.

In other words, Grant Morrison admits fault to feeding into the nostalgia and Status Quo Is God doctrine of the comics industry but they still admit pride in what they had accomplished in their writing career. Samandra, Fekk, and Vespero, characters who thus far are only exclusive to Morrison's run, are killed off and mocked by Hammond for not being relevant or popular enough to exist past this moment, whilst Hal and Hammond's rivalry will spring eternal. When given a chance of promotion and a few words of tutelage to his successors... Hal just leaves for parts unknown. | |

Self-Deprecation: In his encounter with Zundernell, Hal complains about his shouting unintelligible exposition, a common criticism of some of Morrison's works. While Morrison upfront states Issue #2 is "almost a roast of modern comics", particularly Batman (Tom King), Superman (Brian Michael Bendis), Heroes in Crisis, Dark Nights: Metal, and Dark Nights: Death Metal, they also admit they're including their own contributions in that category. The "ever more gargantuan, more primordial, and above all, more reliably anthropomorphic supernonentities" the League has been facing a lot of recently can just as equally apply to Mandrakk, Monitor-Mind the Overvoid, true form Darkseid, and the Gentry as it applies to Barbatos, the World Forger, and Perpetua. | |

Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane | |
| The Green Lantern (Comic Book) / int_cb70651c | comment |
Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane: It's intentionally unclear what actually happened in the Annual. The story itself is about radio-wave entities affecting the brains of the adult Jordans, causing them to pass out, attack Hal, and drop long-suppressed truth bombs, with only Hal, Harold and the kids unaffected. It turns out this is what Hal is telling them about why they don't remember the previous night (or possibly remember parts of it and would prefer not to), and he then demands the kids tell him what actually happened, since the adults have bought the cover story. The mundane explanation is that the black sheep of the family, Doug "Hip" Jordan, convinced them to spike the punch with something, for his own amusement. And then the final panels show a radio-wave entity on Hip's phone. | |

Magma Man | |
| The Green Lantern (Comic Book) / int_d7ab1a98 | comment |
Magma Man: Lantern Volk is a rather literal version of this trope, being an alien with a large, craggy body and a head that's very much just an active volcano spewing a gas cloud that shifts into different facial features depending on his current mood. | |

Servile Snarker | |
| The Green Lantern (Comic Book) / int_ef20dac5 | comment |
Servile Snarker: The power rings are shown to have their own personalities, holding direct conversations with their wearers and often even being sassy about it. When Hal uses another Lantern's ring temporarily, it makes fun of his tendency to go for giant green hands. | |

Decomposite Character | |
| The Green Lantern (Comic Book) / int_f0508c08 | comment |
Decomposite Character: Zig-zagged. The presence of the Crime Syndicate confirms that the direct Antimatter counterpart to the Green Lantern Corps is the Weaponeers of Qward, meaning Power Ring isn't the Mirror Universe version of Hal (though he was originally one for Kyle Rayner). More than likely, this distinction implies that Power Ring is the Antimatter counterpart of Alan Scott. | |

Anthropomorphic Personification: The Green-Skinned Space Babe Pengowirr is revealed to be the Artificial Intelligence of Hal's power ring. Admittedly, there was some Foreshadowing. "Pengowirr" is a Significant Anagram of "power ring". | |

The highly inconsistent writing Superman's been put through recently also gets a jab when Hal points how he doesn't even know "which" Superman he's talking to, since the last time he saw him, he was wearing jeans and a t-shirt. | |
