In this episode of the Podcast of Oa hosts Bill Giancoli and Myron Rumsey talk about DC’s Free Comic Book Day offering and what it might mean for Green Lantern. Issue 8 of both Green Lantern Corps and Green Lantern: New Guardians continue to impress with the first chapter in the “Alpha War” begins and the New Guardians go their separate ways.

Plus we talk about the “Fear Itself” and “…In Love and War” episodes of Green Lantern: The Animated Series and how the show continues to mine the rich history of the Green Lantern universe with the most recent episodes playing up other parts of the emotional spectrum.

Star Wars Battle Packs 2012 Wave 2. These figures have 5 joints each, but the best head sculpts Hasbro has ever done. The new Darth Maul has better face paint than any action figure yet, Ewan McGregor Obi-Wan really truly looks just like him, and Boba Fett is just plain incredible. Oh, and Luke was designed to resemble a vintage 1980s action figure, but with modern sculpting. These are the funnest figures in forever!
