Are you kidding? Me and Mogo was stood right here!!

The fact there's a living mathematical concept in the DC universe suggests that the anti-life equation may too be sentient given how it just refuses to work for some people.

Honestly one of the personal reasons why I like Lantern's stories in DC is because it is a chance to see one of the weirdest aliens interact with each other. Seriously living mathematical equation can have a conversation with a squirrel.

18:31 One of the best lines Atrocious ever had. “You just kicked my cat. I am powered by rage. And you kicked. My. CAT!”

POOR MOGO. He was too nice to socialize because his gravity messed other planets. And he ended up holding and then dying due too the Black lanterns.

The image of ch'p trying to kill himself is so unintentionally funny, way out of left field 😂

Dex Starr is one of my favorite Lanterns. His rage is justified.

8:05 this story is really interesting to me because it’s an example of trying to describe concept of seeing to a person who is blind in a sci-fi way.

Arisia is also an unusual Lantern in that hers is a legacy position. She is the fourth member of her family in a row to have been Green Lantern gaining the ring from her father while still a minor.

Daxamites aren't "like" Kryptonians, they literally are Kryptonians who settled on Daxam thousands of years ago.

There is nothing strange about a planet having developed plant life that spans the globe, is interconnected, and also completely fearless. By every criteria, Mogo can easily be a green lantern.
The power of the ring only helps the planet do what it was always meant to do.

I'd love Swamp Thing and Mogo to team up.

Mogo!!! Also, that sound-based Lantern Oath is pretty sick, ngl.

Man.

The mathematician that created Dkrtzy RRR got the short end of the stick.

He makes a mathematical expression of pure will...

It gains sentience in the process.

And...

It gets the green lantern ring and not himself.

The new 52 origin for Guy Gardner is dumb and everyone should ignore it.

Guy getting the yellow plague in his first appearance and then getting infected by Despotellis during the Sinestro Corps War made me wonder if the yellow plague was Despotellis.

Mogo didnt fight another planet during the Sinestro War, he fought Ranx, a sentient city

The sequence of teaching a sound based organism to use a green lantern ring is great. Someone please give me fanart of green/blue lantern rocky from Project hail Mary.

@TheRoyalCourt44 2 weeks ago

The concept of a Lantern that can't see and creates constructs by reshaping sound waves is so fucking cool

Daxamites also have an additional weakness compared to Kryptonians which is lead. They quickly get poisoned and weak when exposed to lead either in solid or gas form. Lead which is a much more common element then kryptonite.
