Rage. Avarice. Fear. Will. Hope. Love. Compassion. Long ago, the 7 emotions existed together in harmony. Then, everything changed when the guardians attacked. Only the white lantern, master of all 7 emotions, could stop them. But when the universe needed him most, he vanished. 100 years later, my brother and i found the new white lantern, a green lanter named kyle. although his lantern skills are great, he has a lot to learn before he's ready to save anyone. but i belive that kyle can save the universe.
"The Justice League keeps the bodies of their enemies in a crypt beneath the Hall of Justice." They keep the WHAT of their WHAT beneath their WHAT? It's like a trophy room, man.
They really should have kept kyle a white lantern, imo. It seperated him and gave him his own identity from the other human GL's just like when Guy became a red lantern. It was one of those things that just never made sense to me.
Yeah he's my favorite of the Lanterns and I think they should have kept him as a White Lantern imo too. But I kinda get why they didn't cause he got too powerful and there would have been too many plot holes for a character that powerful.
If they ever make another Green Lantern movie they need to do Blackest Night, and hopefully they don't screw it up and follow the comics. Probably would be better animated.
I'm still mad how they treated Kyle Rayner and the White Lanterns since Rebirth. I thought he was going to have a big part with the source wall since he did have the Life Equation(part of it) and all but nope they nerfed him and pretty much threw all of him and his character development away to the side.

A white power flies out of kyle uncontrollably. is the best thing i have heard in comic history. Edit: his name is kyle where is the monster energy drink addiction?
I know you might not read this but you have done so much for me the last couple of years, after my stroke it was hard for me read and retain info, so you reading comics like this has made me cry with happiness
Honestly my favorite part of this is the squirrel who brings mogo his ring. I just imagine a little squirrel family job. To reawaken or keep mogo alive.
He became the ultimate god in DC universe mastering the life equation and unlocking the source wall... only for the publishers to bring him back to average human being status and push him off to the side like he didn’t just literally save every life form in that universe
I love listening to this channel. I work 70-80hrs a week. Music got boring, I stumbled upon this channel, bringing my love for DC even better, i don’t have time to actually read the comics and my other favorite books, so this channel is a blessing. I love everything about it.
Loved to hear this whole saga. When the local comic store was still around I picked up Blackest Night stories as they came out. This darns that little thread in my head. Thank you!
gamma bixh I’m betting he’d side with Batman and maybe even keep the GLs intact, which I’d bet is why Sinestro iced him so quick. It was definitely a cheap death though; Kyle deserved more of a fight.
@@phoebegougesbrown6822 Kyle was summoned to Oa because all of the Guardians had called for the GL's to return for an emergency. Sinestro and some Yellow Lantern goons managed to ambush him while he was travelling back to Oa; the goons restrained Kyle's arms and legs while Sinestro dismembered his ring-finger, transforming Kyle back to normal. He was then torn limb from limb by the goon's restraining him as Sinestro watched, telling Kyle there would be a war, and he wouldn't be there to see it.

Congrats, your resume has been viewed very thoroughly and you are now the new director of the new lantern corps movie that is coming out, starring The Comicstorian and Ryan Reynolds
thank you so much for putting this up, i've always had interest to delve into the white lantern saga and this video was the perfect opportunity for me!
It somehow feels like most problems exist in comics because they never talk about what the problem is but resort to punching... and if they start talking someone with no context teleports in to interupt the talking by... punching
I liked "The End", where Kyle became the old white lantern going round helping the universe and Hal and Carol got married finlay and grow old together. With sinestro telling the story to a new lantern. That is where I prefer to leave the green lantern story.
Comicstorian - “But don’t worry, the justice league shows up! I mean come on, no one can stand up to the combined might of all of our heroes?” Me - oh no
@@notsure5425 if it buffered for 5 minutes at a time with low speed data, it would have taken waywayway longer than 3 and a half hours. Why do you lie?
@@cdogthehedgehog6923 very well then I will state it that it took me three and a half hours with whatever data speed I had and buffering to deal with Why would you care?
Just wanted to say...this outta be a podcast on spotify as well. I do like seeing the comic but I wanted to listen to it on my drive to work. I work in another city so this saga was a great listen. You tell with such enthusiasm. Even if you dont get around to spotify, thanks for this. You've kept me sane in my drive.
the lanterns are my favorite aspect of DC, the idea that 7 different intergalactic corps, all 7 harnessing rings of power using various emotions, to accomplish their various goals, with all groups being morally shades of gray (we've seen good versions of both red lanterns, and yellow lanterns, and we've heard lots about how the guardians of the green lanterns have done some bad shit) is so interesting and cool to me. i wish we got more content for them in terms of movies/video games, i just hope that one failed green lantern movie didn't scar the dceu for life in terms of the lanterns.
I just like to say for all to hear or read in this case that the Comicstroian is freaking awesome with use of voices a few sound effects but mostly a shitload of emotion, he tells a great story.... You could literally visualize it with his description it'll actually come to life in your mind..... That is my opinion, What say you????
Bruh, your readings are so passionate and dramatic, like, I can't look away despite originally just wanting to let this play in the background as I got work done lol
I realized something the life and antilife equations ARE the 2 non-emotional rings therefor the TRUE new gods arent darkside and the highfather they are Hal Jordan and Kyle Rayner (Note: Darkside and the Highfather are demons)
In regards to Vibrates faster than the Flash - Identity Crisis #2, I don't see anything that implies that Kyle was vibrating. Couldn't he have just been invisible? For Matches speeds with Superman as they fly to the edge of the solar system - Superman (1987) #159, aren't they just flying casually? In Travels from Earth to Oa in a few minutes - Green Lantern Corps: Recharge #1, isn't that a warp space feat?
I love this Kyle is my favorite green lantern. I’m actually loving all of the story because I didn’t get to read it. But I have to say one thing I’m a huge Spiderman fan to and oblivion just reminds me of basically venom. But in a cool lantern version.
Rage.
Avarice.
Fear.
Will.
Hope.
Love.
Compassion.
Long ago, the 7 emotions existed together in harmony. Then, everything changed when the guardians attacked. Only the white lantern, master of all 7 emotions, could stop them. But when the universe needed him most, he vanished. 100 years later, my brother and i found the new white lantern, a green lanter named kyle. although his lantern skills are great, he has a lot to learn before he's ready to save anyone. but i belive that kyle can save the universe.

I read this several times before I remembered why it sounded so familiar lol I won't spoil it for anyone, but this was actually really clever.
"The Justice League keeps the bodies of their enemies in a crypt beneath the Hall of Justice."
They keep the WHAT of their WHAT beneath their WHAT?
It's like a trophy room, man.
It's more or less a vault to prevent people from taking their bodies and doing something with them like ra's al ghul with the Lazarus pit
“Remember when we killed this guy? That was awesome”

@@jayjay86443 The power of life destroyed the third army because it was a corruption of life.
Only in Comic Books and Final Fantasy dies that line make any sense.
When you are alive so hard you fricking die.

*”Kyle Rayner, The White Lantern, is pretty much Space Jesus.”*
That is probably the best way to summarize it

@Sosmog2 they are the same picture
Only atheist say that lol
@@HarpVv but… I said it, and I’m not an atheist.
They really should have kept kyle a white lantern, imo.
It seperated him and gave him his own identity from the other human GL's just like when Guy became a red lantern. It was one of those things that just never made sense to me.
Yeah he's my favorite of the Lanterns and I think they should have kept him as a White Lantern imo too. But I kinda get why they didn't cause he got too powerful and there would have been too many plot holes for a character that powerful.
But if they did he would be able to do anything
I think allowing him to use each ring would be great he just has to use them separately
red jaybird just turn it down then, make him more versatile but less powerful compared to other Lanterns, like Multiclassing in D&D.
So what's the difference between Kyle and Hal besides dead loved ones?

I have a question how does atrocious alive if he dosent have a red ring because red lanterns die if their rings are taken off
I have newfound respect for Sinestro after the battle of the first lantern. He's one of my favorite characters now.
He literally GGs the man, Sinestro has gained everyone’s respect.
They should make this a movie
“ Lanterns infinity war” 😂
Indeed
Is that really such a bad idea?
Do it courtesy of marvel studios..... he'll yeah
If they ever make another Green Lantern movie they need to do Blackest Night, and hopefully they don't screw it up and follow the comics. Probably would be better animated.

What the hell
This is ducking annoying
This took longer to read than the video
Congrats, your resume has been viewed very thoroughly and you are now the new director of the new lantern corps movie that is coming out, starring The Comicstorian and Ryan Reynolds
@@blrb9921 lmfao
I'm was thinking of getting back into Green Lantern so this is perfect way to catch up.
1:09:10
"The first lantern gets up after he gets beaten by Sinestro"
Sinestro : GG
*Sinestro has left the game*
He has good manners
Anyone find it odd that the entity of love is called "The Predator"? Or ionic that it looks like a xenomorph?
lol i got hooked with dc after playing lego batman 3, when i saw the giant pink lego xenomorph i was like, ayo what?
thank you so much for putting this up, i've always had interest to delve into the white lantern saga and this video was the perfect opportunity for me!
Nobody:
Comicstorian:
Translations:Krona? More like Corona!
I really respect this channel. You can feel the passion and effort emitted from there video. Keep going, we all appreciate it
Time for an epic bedtime story
That was great, and it really intensified toward the end, thank you for putting this together!
wow in the Evil Kyle segment you said darkness and light as much as a Kingdom Hearts cut scene
yeah, it was said so much you'd think Disney bought DC.
I miss the outro music yall used to use lol it bring back memories of when I first start watching. Keep it up 💪🏾
It somehow feels like most problems exist in comics because they never talk about what the problem is but resort to punching... and if they start talking someone with no context teleports in to interupt the talking by... punching
39:52 "Everyone in favour of letting Larfleeze get his ass whooped, don't move.
A unanimous vote." 😂😂😂😂
This part kills me.
True fans will remember this as "| Comicstorian"
?
@@eli4677 I'm assuming that used to be the title of this video.
Tru fans remember mangastorian
@@luffytaro-jg5ow Welp sounds like I need to subscribe to a new channel!
I liked "The End", where Kyle became the old white lantern going round helping the universe and Hal and Carol got married finlay and grow old together. With sinestro telling the story to a new lantern. That is where I prefer to leave the green lantern story.
Miss you Benny you made my junior high years spectacular and helped so much❤️💔
Comicstorian - “But don’t worry, the justice league shows up! I mean come on, no one can stand up to the combined might of all of our heroes?”
Me - oh no
I love just putting these on and listening for hours. Ty for doing the long timeline style videos
Comicstorian, At Peace.
Just wanna say man I appreciate you making these videos so much, I love them and its something to watch thankyou
Took me 3 1/2 hours to watch this with no data! Worth every buffer!
Only 3 and a half? Bullshit. With zero data you wouldn't be able to watch at all without wifi.
Why do you lie?
@@cdogthehedgehog6923 I had used all my high speed data
When I attempted to watch it they kept buffering for 5 minutes at a time
@@notsure5425 if it buffered for 5 minutes at a time with low speed data, it would have taken waywayway longer than 3 and a half hours. Why do you lie?
@@cdogthehedgehog6923 very well then I will state it that it took me three and a half hours with whatever data speed I had and buffering to deal with
Why would you care?
@@notsure5425 I just call out bullshit when I see it. And you sir, are a bullshit factory.
Thank you so much I have been requesting this since the start of massive Monday. These stories got me into this channel.
Channel is amazing Bennie keep it up!!!!
Just wanted to say...this outta be a podcast on spotify as well. I do like seeing the comic but I wanted to listen to it on my drive to work. I work in another city so this saga was a great listen. You tell with such enthusiasm. Even if you dont get around to spotify, thanks for this. You've kept me sane in my drive.
Thank you guys so much for doing this video Kyle is my favorite and I feel like he never gets enough love
Wish this story never ended its just so great
I was planning on having a productive work shift, not anymore. 😂😂😂
You got a job cool
the lanterns are my favorite aspect of DC, the idea that 7 different intergalactic corps, all 7 harnessing rings of power using various emotions, to accomplish their various goals, with all groups being morally shades of gray (we've seen good versions of both red lanterns, and yellow lanterns, and we've heard lots about how the guardians of the green lanterns have done some bad shit) is so interesting and cool to me. i wish we got more content for them in terms of movies/video games, i just hope that one failed green lantern movie didn't scar the dceu for life in terms of the lanterns.
So Guardians became a villain in the DC. Damn that's dark and awesome.
Man benny really got me into green lantern comics. We lost a legend
You are a very good story teller, it keeps me captivated 😁😁
”This will give you the cliff notes"
3 HOURS
Poor Glommy, he did nothing wrong 😔
I just like to say for all to hear or read in this case that the
Comicstroian is freaking awesome with use of voices a few sound effects but mostly a shitload of emotion, he tells a great story.... You could literally visualize it with his description it'll actually come to life in your mind..... That is my opinion,
What say you????
After listening to all of this I have a new respect for every single lantern core
Bruh, your readings are so passionate and dramatic, like, I can't look away despite originally just wanting to let this play in the background as I got work done lol
Benny’s old reading style takes me back into time 😩💯
52:02 “He uses the power of life on the 3rd army, instantly killing them.”
🤣🤣🤣 *Irony*
I would kill for this to be a full feature from DC. This story is incredible.
The art for this run on Green Lantern is perfect for the story and tone. I love it.
20:29 Larfleeze: "I want to be queen!" lmao
"As an explosion of white power comes out of him" that sounds really bad without context 🤣
I realized something the life and antilife equations ARE the 2 non-emotional rings therefor the TRUE new gods arent darkside and the highfather they are
Hal Jordan and Kyle Rayner (Note: Darkside and the Highfather are demons)
3 hours of my life that I'm never getting back.
*time well spent*
FINALLY!!! I’ve been waiting for this full story
10:29 Captain boomerang just sitting there feeling left out 😂
59:35 I knew that god made us T-pose before writing our destiny.
Kyle:I am not a mistake!!!
Kyles mom:nah you definitely are
In regards to Vibrates faster than the Flash - Identity Crisis #2, I don't see anything that implies that Kyle was vibrating. Couldn't he have just been invisible?
For Matches speeds with Superman as they fly to the edge of the solar system - Superman (1987) #159, aren't they just flying casually?
In Travels from Earth to Oa in a few minutes - Green Lantern Corps: Recharge #1, isn't that a warp space feat?
This is the 2nd best video you've ever made!!!
I love this channel because it helps what should I read
How he says "Ganthet" is killing me! Haha
I love this Kyle is my favorite green lantern. I’m actually loving all of the story because I didn’t get to read it. But I have to say one thing I’m a huge Spiderman fan to and oblivion just reminds me of basically venom. But in a cool lantern version.
This is my favorite youtube channel !!! May you have another million subs you deserve it !
Sinestro: *blows up 2 planes*
Also Sinestro: hey guys I come in peace don’t worry
This is why Kyle is one of my two favourite characters. Kyle and Wally west
