When Simon first became a GL, the ring ran out of power on him during a fight so he keeps the gun in case that ever happens again.

This is horrible. Johns and Humphries should write Simon Baz as a character, not a racial stereotype. The gun is just ridiculous and adds nothing special to the character.

I hope this isn't going to be about Muslims, I like Simon and I'm excited to read a GL book about him but not if its only going to be about how hard his life is as some minority. I get he's different so what

I wondered where John was. Which book is that, exactly?

He's just co-writing this Rebirth oneshot and that's been known since Wondercon. He probably finished his part right after he finished Rebirth #1. Humphries will be writing the bi-weekly by himself.

If they give a reason (that makes sense) for him carrying a gun, I'll actually waste money on this.

Damn. At least give it a chance people. DC is trying to push new characters, and I think it could turn out pretty well.

@md1292: Why does the current reason not make sense?

Also, why does this gun thing seem to be such a big deal for everyone?

Agreed. This isn't Green Lantern, this is Green Pandering or worse, Green Lantumblr.

DC and Marvel are pandering more and more to grow their audience at the cost of good stories and creative characters. I check back every now and then but I jumped ship a while on reading any comics.

This site makes it easy to check previews and confirm my reasons for not buying Marvel or DC

Tell us everything you know about the green lantern corps... Like seriously is that the first time they tried to fish out information about the corps and they found this sap of guy by having a threat hanging over his head. WTF did I just read!

@elam1999: Was Hal Jordan a christian? Never really paid any attention to that. Is that important, with their religious belief. With all that we know about DC as Presence being a real thing in DC. Would be funny if Baz did meet Presence telling him I catered for your existence.

@md1292: I remember reading at the time when he got the gun and thinking it was definitely the best policy. He's needed it and used it too. It might seem weird to have a gun but in the story it made good sense. I'd sure as hell carry one too if I went through what Baz did when he became a Green Lantern. It's a mandatory insurance policy for when the ring runs out in my opinion.

Nothing. Marvel's Ms Marvel is Muslim too but that doesn't define her character. The same goes for Simon. It's part of who these characters are, but it's not their defining trait. If a character is defined only by their religion, then that's a one-dimensional stereotype which would soon sink and get a book cancelled. They just can't do that nowadays.

I don't think you understand how pandering works. DC and Marvel created new Muslim, Female, Black or any other non-white or non-male characters to draw in a bigger crowd. It has nothing to do with a character whose creation comes from a place of creativity. These characters were not generated by writers or artists, they were forced to be created because producers, managers and marketing experts said it was a faster way of getting people interested.

Honestly, all this and other characters have done is alienate me from Marvel and DC and I'm not the only one

Loading Video...

This video summarizes well what is going on and how even in the wake of terrible comic sales, so long as liberal critics keep praising Marvel and DC for progressive characters and stories, they'll keep producing them.

Honestly, the only way to change Marvel and DC now would be for a huge majority of fans to just stop consuming their media. I did and have since been reading Invincible, Hellboy, and a few other comics along the way, including the new run for Captain Canuck.

I would rather never get a new DC or Marvel book again if it meant I didn't have to choke down the clearly modern political tripe they're attempting to force down consumers throats.

I read comics to enjoy fantastic heroes and villains in fictitious worlds where they battle and don't mention facebook, twitter or current politics. Marvel has kept the Nazis as the bad guys for about 50+ years because they are the go-to bad guys...and now so is Cap...
