Okay, first a gripe. Once upon a time, in a world far, far away, Hal Jordan and Sinestro had a brutal fight to the death, which ended when Hal snapped Sinestro's neck. So logically that would make Hal the superior fighter to Sinestro. In this issue, Sinestro pretty much squashes Kyle in a fight, meaning that Sinestro is a superior fighter than Kyle. To that I scream, NOT SO FAST! Kyle has been trained to fight by both BATMAN(who is universally acknowledged as DC's top fighter)as well as Donna Troy, who herself was trained to fight by the frigging AMAZONS! Yeah, I get that nowadays DC/Geoff Johns loves giving Hal a never ending blow job, but to say that Hal, but not Kyle, can take Sinestro in a fight? I call BS on that. Rant over. Besides that bit of stupidity, I enjoyed this comic. The Weaponer continues to be an interesting new character, and his origin was well done. Next issue should give us an amazingly good fight scene between Kyle, Ganthet and company against the Weaponer, as we see just how powerful the Weaponer really is.
Score: 8 1/2 out of 10.
What an odd thing to say in this situation...
Fisticuffs engaged!!! I actually didn't know Donna trained Kyle as well so thanks for that tidbit. I also wondered why Kyle lost that fight but I'd say maybe because he was more preoccupied with trying to hurry and save Soranik?
ReplyDelete"Fisticuffs engaged" Undoubtedly, the WEIRDEST ring setting ever!
ReplyDeleteYup, that's one of the perks of dating an Amazon, free fighting lessons! :P And the reason Kyle lost that fight was because he wasn't THE Greatest Thing Since Saint Barry Allen, Hal Jordan. If it was Hal fighting Sinestro, I think we ALL know how things would have turned out...
Lol do we REALLY? Because Geoff did bring back Sinestro as well :P At least I think he did... my memory is a bit foggy.
ReplyDeleteNo, Super-Hal did actually beat Sinestro at the end of the Sienstro Corps War in a straight up fight, so yeah, Hal CAN beat down Sinestro, but Kyle? No deal.
ReplyDeleteMaybe if Sinestro would have been in fisticuffs mode he'd have beat Hal, but it was not to be. *shrugs* Why try making sense of things in the DCU? I don't think it's possible. :P
Lmao... maybe that's why he relies on "Fisticuffs mode" now, because he's learned from Hal beating him to a bloody purple pulp.
ReplyDeleteHA! Now why couldn't they explain that in the comic?! Just slide that in as a quick sidenote or something. Sinestro can think to himself, "Now that I have my trusty Fisticuffs mode, I need never fear taking a thrashing like the one that blasted Jordan gave me..."
ReplyDeleteLmao right? Or say, ah well I learned Fisticuffs mode from Slade Wilson, I see your Batman and raise you a Deathstroke! :P
ReplyDelete" I see your Batman and raise you a Deathstroke!" HA!! But what if I re-raise you an Amazon warrior?
ReplyDeleteLol, then I guess I'd have Sinestro re-raise YOU with uh.... the power of a White Lantern? :P
ReplyDeleteWha?! You can't raise me that! Sinestro barely even had that power! I call shenanagans on you!!!
ReplyDeleteLol shenanigans?! On ME?! How DARE you sir! Well I'll re-raise you MONGOL! Dun dun dunnnnn
ReplyDeleteHmm, Mongul is a good re-raise, but would he really help Sinestro? Last I remember they were at each other's throats. Try again, chum!
ReplyDeleteHm... okay, I'll re-raise with uh... damn you X! Er... I'll RE-Raise you with... I quit. Damn Sinestro for having no good friends.
