Evidently, today is the release date of issue #2 of Blackest Night. It’s a Green Lantern comic that posits the idea that there are several color spectrum “Lanterns” each representing a different emotion or state of being, like some rainbow colored improv game. Green=Will Power, Yellow = Fear, Red=Anger, Orange =Avarice , Blue = Hope , Black =Death and Violet = Love. The Correctness feels the following exchange is inevitable in an upcoming issue.
(All the Lanterns gather around a table. In the centre is a delicious Crave Cupcake)
GREEN LANTERN: I’ll pass on that, I’ve had too many sweets today.
VIOLET LANTERN: Oooooh I LOVE Cupcakes
ORANGE LANTERN: No! It’s MINE! It’s mine and I’m not sharing. In fact, every single cupcake in the whole universe is mine!!!
BLUE LANTERN: Maybe they’ll all fight to the death, then the cupcake would be mine!
YELLOW LANTERN: Do you know how many calories are in that thing? The icing alone is twice your allotted fat per day count. You’ll end up fat and alone in sweatpants..then RICHARD SIMMONS will come to your house…man that many calories….
BLACK LANTERN: Will kill you.
RED LANTERN: FUCK YOU! !!!!!I’LL EAT WHATEVER THE FUCK I WANT!!!
Great.
Now the Correctness wants cupcakes.



Is this the part where I point out the lack of Indigo Lanterns? They’d likely want to share the cupcakes with everyone, and hold your hair while you puke after eating too many cupcakes.

OMGZ! I love the Indigo Lantern’s “Closer to Fine”.

I hear “Cupcake” is what the Guardians of the Universe call the Central Power Battery.
