More splenders of love

I'm not talking about The Watchmen 'cuz I still haven't seen it. So, I thought I'd go back and fill in some of the couples in comics that I dig but, because of lousy planning I left off of fridays list. Without any further ado, let's get to it.

Scott and Barda Free - I have no clue why or how I managed to leave this couple off the list. When I think of what marriage should be this couple is the example I use.

Gambit and Rogue - My favorite Southern fried couple. They may fight and bicker and maybe even stray. But, in the end they always come back to one another. No matter what happens you just know, they'll always end up together.

John Stewart and Katma Tui - They are literally a power couple.

Al and Wanda Simmons - Sure it all went to hell (literally) after he dead. But, he made a pact with the devil in an atempt to stay with her after his death. Now that's love.

Colossus and Kitty Pryde - Granted it is kind of wrong that he was pursuing he when she was in Junior High and he was already an adult. But, once she grow up they became a great couple as far as I'm concerned (well, when they aren't dying on each other).

Well, after doing both this list and the one from friday. I'm fairly certain now that I have included my favorite comic book couples.

A strange thought about Green Lantern history

So, this weekend I had a strange thought. That thought was this considering the history, if Guy Gardner was as self aware as oh let's say Animal Man. Wouldn't Guy dislike John Stewart? After all when Denny O'Neil decided to create John Stewart ('cuz DC needed a black Green Lantern to be relavant,I guess) he had to get Guy out of the way and he accomplished this by having a bus fall on Guy. After this Guy Gardenr was out of comission for about a decade. If I was him I know I'd be irked. Besides, that one could also make the argument that because John was picked to be in the JLU cartoon it took until a new series for Guy Gardner to make his debut in another medium rather than just comics. So,taking all this into account I don't think Guy would like John if he was aware of all of this. But, that's just my two cents.

Love in the time of power rings

Lately,I've been re-reading the GLC trades and it got me thinking about the recent issues and the budding relationship between Kyle and Soranik and also the relationship between Guy and Ice. One of the things I find interesting about these two pairings is that both Kyle and Guy seem to be the more emotional of each couple. With Kyle and Soranik she has said that she has walled herself off from others, while Kyle has a hard time not being in a relationship. Whereas, with Guy and Ice, Guy is quite prone to emotional outbursts, while Ice is the much more sensible one. Like in Issue 20 when he floats down to her in Times Square and while she is trying to explain how she needs some time he gets riled up to the point that he is nearly screaming at her about how much he loves her and how hard her death was on him. I think that's the reason they are such good friends is also because of this, I think it also explains why they aren't as close with Hal or John as they are with each other. Probably also the reason Hal also seems annoyed at Guy when they are hanging out even before Guy does something to get Hal's goat.
