Show notes

Co-hosts Bill Giancoli and Myron Rumsey are back with episode 52 of the Podcast of Oa with news and commentary about the Green Lantern universe. Bill continues to trumpet the potential for a Kyle Rayner/Carol Ferris relationship as Relic makes his presence felt in Green Lantern: New Guardians #22. Myron reports out on Green Lantern news announced at this year's San Diego Comic-Con and provides some critical commentary pointed at DC Entertainment and their film plans for the DC Universe. The second issue of Larfleeze fails to win over either Myron or Bill and we have comments from listeners that as always stimulate some fun conversation.

Episode 51 - And Then There Were Five Jul 19, 2013

Show notes

Episode 51 of The Podcast of Oa continues the conversation about the new era of Green Lantern comics with co-hosts Bill Giancoli and Myron Rumsey. Relic enters the picture in Green Lantern: New Guardians #21 and the hosts have differing stances on the possibility of a romance between Kyle Rayner and Carol Ferris. Red Lanterns #21 is also a topic of discussion and listener feedback stimulates more dialogue about the role of Green Lantern in the DC movie universe. The initial issue of Larfleeze underwhelms both Myron and Bill and conversation then turns to the one-two punch of Green Lantern and Green Lantern Corps.

Episode 48 - Bill Returns! May 21, 2013

Show notes

Co-host Bill Giancoli returns to the Podcast of Oa for our 48th episode. Myron Rumsey discusses recent events in the Green Lantern universe such as the recent SMGO.TV pledge drive and comments that Geoff Johns has made about big announcements coming regarding DC characters in film and television in July at the San Diego Comicon.

We talk about the 19th issues of both Green Lantern: New Guardians and Red Lanterns as well as the ill timed Green Lantern Corps #20. Listeners who have not read the issue yet should skip this section since we talk about some of the details about the conclusion to the Wrath of the First Lanterns story that are recounted in the issue and it will spoil the ending to the story.

Episode 47 - SMGO.TV Interview May 06, 2013

Show notes

Myron Rumsey is joined by SMGO.TV founders Dave and Chehin for an exclusive interview about their attempts to revive both Green Lantern: The Animated Series and Young Justice through crowdsourcing. The two recently met with Warner Brothers about the initiative and were subsequently denied an initial green light to move forward, however the fact that the effort was taken seriously should provide fans with motivation to continue our efforts.

Episode 46 - Raging Lanterns Apr 14, 2013

Show notes

Co-host Myron Rumsey is joined by special guest co-host Sean Whelan from the Raging Bullets podcast for episode 46 of the Podcast of Oa. Sean and Myron talk about the recent controversy surrounding the alleged plan to kill of John Stewart and comment about Warner Brothers recent statements about an upcoming announcement addressing their plans for movies based on DC Comics properties.

This episode catches us up with the most recent issues of the Green Lantern family of books, covering the eighteenth issues of New Guardians and Red Lanterns, plus the nineteenth issues of Green Lantern and Green Lantern Corps. Along the way Sean names two more of the lesser known divisions of the emotional spectrum and we talk a bit about the impact that the Internet has had on comics and the relationships between fans and creators, death in comics and ways that the digital format could be leveraged to provide content that might not work as well in print.
