Green Lantern Mosaic #2 Road Kill

I was going to do a nice little post on an issue of Power Pack where the kids have an adventure.  But no, CT from Nerd Lunch says he wants to see grim and gritty Ch'p.  And who can say no to one of my favorite podcasters.  So here's this... thing.

Green Lantern Mosaic.  So it came the pass that the Guardians, as they occasionally do decided to abandon the universe.  All except Appa Ali Apsa, aka the Old Timer who had some neat adventures on Earth a long time ago.  Except now in the grim and gritty post-crisis world he's gone crazy.  And with the other Guardians gone he decided to bring some company to Oa. 

After his defeat, John Stewart is put in charge of the now Mosaic world of Oa.  Oh yeah and the corps has disbanded for the thousandth time.  Jeez, those guy should get a union or something. 

So here we have post-crisis Ch'p.  Who by the way doesn't exist.  That is to say just like some members of the members of the Justice Society immediately post-crisis Ch'p was re-written out of history.  If you think the JSA and Infinity Inc. got screwed in crisis look up what happened to Ch'p.  Anyway the issue...

Let's take a look at this cover.  First that's got to be a huge truck.  Secondly, why are you telling Ch'p to run?  He should fly out of the trucks path.

The story begins with Ch'p dreaming.  Yep, this is actually appearing on your page.  Evidently Ch'p's world is like Final Crisis 24-7.

Meanwhile John Stewart has a nightmare of his own about his newly constructed road linking the different parts of the mosaic. 

He flies off to investigate just in time to save a van from driving into a chasm. 

Meanwhile, nut-frenzy.  Sigh...

Ch'p goes to visit Salakk and shows him the he charged his ring today and discovered that the Guardians were recruiting new lanterns.  They really, really, need a union. 

Salakk and Ch'p go to see John Stewart and believe it or not we get a joke.

Then Salakk get's all mysterious and Ch'p get's all angsty. 

So John Stewart does the only logical thing.  He puts the squirrel on the road.


Ch'p finds the aliens that have been destroying the road and battles them when they do something weird. 

John Stewart arrives and begins interrogating Ch'p.

 

 

 Come on John give him time to answer.

Jeez... Hey internet this how your hero dies.  Ran down like a, eh, squirrel.

I'm rarely at a loss for words but seriously you couldn't think of a better way to kill of Ch'p than hit by a truck?

John then turns to the reader to demand answers.  He don't look at me, talk to the writer of this thing. 

Maybe the not yet letters page will help us understand what the creative team was thinking.

Those amazing squirrels?  Really?  Sigh...



Hey KISS in the no makeup years.

Next time Power Pack to wash this bad taste out of my mouth.
