EDIT

Come on, I never ask for anything on here, ever, just one good idea? I promise I'll never ask for anything again! This is driving me up the wall.

End Edit

It has bee a hobby of mine for a while, and I'm sure some of you know the feeling, to assign characters, organisations, countries, and other such things, songs that I believe fit them.

Recently, as you can probably guess, I have been assigning songs to each of the new Lantern Corps. springing up in the Green Lantern mythos. However, I should like anyone who reads this journal to help me here, because I cannot think of enough songs to give to all 8 of them. I have assigned two to each Corps., an epic-like one, and a joke/less serious one (basically, a serious one, and a light hearted one)

Indeed, I have located a webcomic unlike any other. By this, I mean it actually updates pages when it says it will, and is damn funny and interesting. In addition, it's about 300 pages in, so you have something to read already

Now I hope no one will judge it on its appearance, for it appears to be merely a World of Warcraft comic, which based on the few I've seen tend to be a little too serious and have very predictable storylines. This one however, is a parody comic that actually follows a solid storyline, and pokes fun at Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, World of Warcraft, Wheel of Time, RA Salvatore, Dungeons & Dragons, George RR Martin, Everquest, and a whole host of TV Shows, comics, books and other stuff.

Above everything though, I like many others who read it, have been enthralled by the whimsical homicidal tendencies, of the all powerful Warlock: Richard.

Richard, also known as Chief Warlock of the Brothers of Darkness, Lord of the Thirteen Hells, Master of the Bones, Emperor of the Black, Lord of the Dead, mayor of a little village up the coast, Lord of the Dance, and finally Mistress of the Magma, is hilarious, powerful, and apparently bored. For instance, one of the first things he says, in fact it's on the first page, goes something like this; "I think you're a little confused. Have you looked int he mirror? Helping people in distress isn't the sort of thing your kind does. Instead of helping an aged dwarf lady across the road, you should be shooting her face full of arrows until it stops being funny".

Here is a short music video for you to get an idea of him: [link]

His achievements rival those of the ancients, and cause people to quake and tremble at the sound of his name. Some of these include:

-Killing Obi-Wan Kenobi by pushing him off a cliff, remarking "You should listen to him" (to Luke) "He was a wise man"

- Killing Obi-Wan Kenobi's force ghost, remarking "Wise, and persistent. He will be missed"

- Being sent to demon court for acting "for the good", being convicted, and subsequently getting bored and destroying the entire courtroom.

- Become mayor of a little town up the coast and turning its denizens into a horde of skeletal thralls subservient to his bidding, including a little girl who has a fondness for ripping out hearts.

- Inventing the "Murder inspires Undertaker Work Increase" economic surplus package.

- Opening a portal from an Eternal City by crucifying himself (No one knows how the HELL he managed it)

- Inventing the famous battle cry "For Pony!!"

- Single handedly killing, in many different and creative ways, a village of 2000+ peasants mobbing him, and having the decency to mark the population tally as "2" (Himself and a panther)

- Single handedly defeating the Volcano Goddess Ajellah, and taking her title

- First to realise the hilarity of the word "magma"

- Coiner of the term "Killing means you never have to say sorry"

- Inventor of "The Fork of Truth"

- First to dub magical fire abilities with a relevant name: "Fwooshing"

- Successfully challenged and defeated an erupting volcano, while at the same time rescuing the protagonist by sealing him within the corpse of a defeated digger, and giving him the advice "Don't squeeze the liver, you won't like the liquid centre"

- Successfully created a temporal distortion, killed two of his past selves, and survived.

- Found out that the meaning of life is in fact "Bucket"




So I hope you'll all go and read it, it's well worth the read.

In recent news, several prominent scientists have theorised that the Hadron Collider, the gigantic particle accelerator belonging to SCERN that runs several miles underground and part way into France, is sabotaging itself from the future.

Okay, in all seriousness now, I was watching "Have I got News for you" the other day, and they actually put up this story. Apparently the collider has gained sentience in the future, or something of that sort, and because of its ability to smash atoms, has somehow developed a means of time-travel. From some point in the future where it has gained this sentience, it apparently is sabotaging its past self for reasons unknown.



This was apparently from a tabloid headline, but come on, several apparently notable scientists said this was actually happening.
If anyone ever says to you "I bin down th' collida!" they've probably been to the future

In the exact same year that DC Comics releases its "Blackest Night" storyline, a great multitude of famous people kick the bucket?

So that there's no issue of clarification here, the Blackest Night follows a Prophecy in the Green Lantern, one of many foretold int he Book of Oa, which have come true. The Blackest Night is an event that will follow the War of Light, when all of the colours of the Emotional Spectrum are harnessed into Lantern Corps., and begin fighting each other. The Blackest Night will rise, when a great wave of Black Lantern Rings fly throughout the Universe from the planet Ryut, resurrecting the dead to kill off the living, and allow the Lord of the Undead, Nekron, into our Universe.

Imagine this: A Black Lantern Michael Jackson, a Black Lantern Billy Mays, Roh Moo-hyu, Neda Agha-Soltan, Natasha Richardson, Jack Cardiff (*cringes*), Farrah Fawcett, Walter Cronkite, and Black Lantern Ted Kennedy.

Lantern Cronkite: And that's the way it was, we'll kill you all!

Lantern Jackson: Ooh, oh, yeah yeah, the power of love don't satisfy me no more, it's death!!

Lantern Mays: Hi, I'm Billy Mays, and I'm here to show you what Oxyclean can do for you, when I rip out your skulls!!

Lantern E. Kennedy: Muhuhahahahaha!! Take that John! Who's famous now!?




We're doomed *Nods sagely*

It just... burst into flame...
