![]() ![]() Kilowog goes off to Russia because he thinks communism is better than capitalism, and that's a pretty great 1980s plotline, and pretty surprisingly, he creates the Rocket Red corps while there. There's a nice crossover with Legends, though the Green Lanterns worrying about what the American president says about superheroes reveals how small the comic has gotten in scope. They talk about her artificial aging enough for it to be super-creepy.Īnyway, the rest of the main comic is intriguing, though none of the storytelling particularly shines. So she's statutory-rape Green Lantern, and this is right in the middle of their relationship. That's great for characterization (because we really get to know all the alien GLs), but poor for the scope of the comic, because it becomes a funny superhero comic on Earth, rather than a cosmic odyssey.Īnd of course Arisia brings with her a rather unfortunate plotline, where a teenage girl fell in love with Hal Jordan and then used her ring to age herself, and Jordan immediately starting hitting that. So we get the Earth adventures of the corps. (The data file at the end says it's because the Guardians abolished sectors). Seven GLs (eight if you count Guy who's on the outs) are all on Earth, including Salaak, Kilowog, Ch'p, Arisia, and Katma. The main Green Lantern comic (#207-215) is set in a very odd time in the franchise's history. That led to more Hollywood work, including animated series such as Street Fighter, GI Joe, and Team Atlantis for Disney. One of his contributions, The Night Man, became not only a successful comics series, but also a television show. In 1992 Steve was asked to co-create a comics pantheon called the Ultraverse. He went on to add a run of mid-grade books to his bibliography, including the DNAgers™ adventure series, and Countdown to Flight, a biography of the Wright brothers selected by NASA as the basis for their school curriculum on the invention of the airplane. Rustle's Christmas Adventure was first devised for them. Meanwhile, he continued his game design for Activision, Electronic Arts, Sega, and Brøderbund.Īnd once he and Terry had their two sons, Alex and Eric, he naturally told them stories. Other projects he owned (Scorpio Rose™, The Djinn™) were mixed with company series (Green Lantern, Silver Surfer, Fantastic Four). But he still liked comics, so he created Coyote™, which within its first year was rated one of America's ten best series. He did, but he also wrote a solo Batman series (immediately dubbed the "definitive" version) that later became Warner Brothers' first Batman film (the good one).Īfter that he left comics for a time, traveled in Europe for a year, wrote a novel (The Point Man™), and came back to design video games for Atari (E.T., Garfield). He was finally hired away from Marvel by DC Comics, to be their lead writer and revamp their core characters (Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Flash, and Green Lantern). Midway through that period he moved to California (where he remains), and met and married his wife Terry. That led to long runs on Captain America, The Hulk, The Avengers, Dr. After a stint in the Army, he moved to New York and began to write for Marvel Comics.
