Episode 235- Cover Date: January 1991 Part 05- Walking In Oa- Green Lantern #08

Published: Jan. 16, 2018, 7 a.m.

In this week's adventure, Magnus begins winding down the Cover Date: 1991 by taking a moment (or even several moments) pondering Green Lantern #08.

This issue is auspicious, really, for a few different reasons. For one thing, Green Lantern #08 is the conclusion to that psycho Guardian storyline. Which is pretty nifty all by itself. But for two things, this issue also marks the conclusion of Hal's existential crisis. So there's a lot to ponder about Green Lantern #08.

You see, boys and girls, the entire idea behind the Cover Date: 1991 megaseries is cutting through the ice cream of comics from 1991 to get an idea as to their quality. Were they as bad as people today seem to think? Has their greatness been sadly overlooked? Or is the truth somewhere in the middle? This megaseries attempts to figure that out.

But that's not all! In order for you humble beggars to put yourselves in a proper 1991 point of reference, there's more discussion about some songs from 1991 too.

So what more do you need? Download this show right now or else the crazy Guardian will steal your town right out from under your feet.

Due to the avalanche of awesomeness, there's just no time for listener feedback this week. But Magnus has slowly been getting caught up lately. There's been some feedback recently and there's more coming soon! So don't be left out! You too can offer your feeble effort at tribute whenever you want! Yes indeed, you humble serfs are always welcome to kiss your benevolent leader's ring. Corrupt DiManzocorp interns are ready, willing, able and eager to accept your bribe to present your meager missives to your wise emperor. The email address to use is trentusmagnus@gmail.com as the other seems to be having technical problems.

In an another sublime act of truly ball-shriveling magnanimity, your emperor permits you lowly rabble to suggest topics for a future episode. Thus, requests may be sent to trentusmagnus@gmail.com for the aforementioned corrupt DiManzocorp interns (who probably lack souls) to review, whereupon your leader might consider thinking about the possibility of potentially discussing whatever you have in mind some day. And that's a promise!
