Musings on anything and everything from a middle-aged comic book geek, father, husband, and sufferer of chronic illness. What does the title mean? In DC Comics, Oa is the planet at the center of the Universe where the Guardians pursue justice and order through their intergalactic police force, the Green Lanterns. To be a Green Lantern you must be capable of overcoming fear. You don't have to be from Krypton or be an orphaned billionaire, you just have to be The Right Person.

Con exclusives
I'm just sick today over how much the San Diego Comic Con attendees are jacking up their prices on the convention exclusives. Jeez Louise. I know that you are entitled to a reward for making it to the con, but are those of us who are unable to travel supposed to pay for your entire con experience? Selling the Green Lantern "Blackest Night" exclusives for upwards of $70 apiece (or the set for $495) is unconscionable for something that cost you $20 in my humble opinion. Not to mention the fact that your scalper ass scored something only to resell it -- thus keeping it out of the hands of someone who really wanted it. Am I sorry that I will never own my hero, Hal Jordan, as a Red Lantern, or a Yellow or Blue or Orange Lantern? You bet I am. But I refuse to support the practice of scalping toys on eBay by throwing my money at these vampires. Just saying.
