Although this could be stretched into two weeks, I'm feeling generous today, because it's...
Star Sapphire Saturday!
There are two SS components from this week's GL: New Guardians that I wanted to bring up today.
Fatality - While she's not my favorite SS, Fatality really holds her own, especially in this new series. When fighting with lanterns of all other colors, she kicks the most ass. She completely exercises her crystallizing matrix power to neutralize other lanterns, both red and green in this issue. I love this strategy. In doing so, she dodges the attack of the Indigo Lantern.
The other thing I love is how she explains her name and behavior to the Indigo Lantern who questions her "qualifications" in the violet corps. Her response, "There's nothing crueler than a Love spurned." So true.
Kyle - I've always thought about the male Star Sapphire, and even this week a gent on a FB group I follow (yes, A.D.S.) mentioned the same thing. It's like he was reading the writers' minds. This week, donning a ring of every color, Kyle Rayner becomes some "Super Lantern," but of course, what do I notice most? The SS part of his uniform. With Halloween and all, this may be quite the inspiration. Given all of the Justice League members I saw last night, I may work on something like this next year.
So for the year to come, I'll keep this costume idea in mind and remember,
Love conquers all with violet light!
