Guardians Of The Universe--C$%& Blockers!!

Who's the black Green Lantern that's a sex machine to all the chicks?

John Stewart!!

You're damn right...until one of the Guardians comes calling, that is:

WAIT...did he just say what I think he said? He made John interrupt "the completion of his pleasure"?!?!?!?!?

You just know Hal Jordan would never let that act go uncompleted!

John tries to make sure the home fires will still be burning...

..but after his little adventure:

"I dunno"??? "Guess"???? "Report to the Guardians"????

Dude, Beverly is waiting--in your bed!!

John--BEVERLY IS WAITING FOR YOU IN BED!!!!!

John Stewart, you are no Hal Jordan!!

Hal Jordan Needed To Walk A Beat!

Poor, broody Hal Jordan wants to quit the Green Lantern Corps because feelings...

The Guardians point out that Hal is a whiny baby, and has responsibilities greater than one backward planet...

...and that he's kinda wasting "the most powerful weapon in the universe" fighting bank robbers.

Hal tries to answer...but he's unarmed in this battle of wits.

So, "get off your ass and do your job" is the little blue guys' message.

Of course, the Guardian eventually had Earth "home" bunches of Green Lanterns, and made Earth  home the new race of Guardians, so, you know, things change.

Still, this lead to Hal being (voluntarily) exiled from Earth for one year, while he got to know Sector 2814. What they never mention is that Coast City almost immediately fell to an unrestrained plague of muggers and jaywalkers...

But it was all for the best, as it was never going to work out with Carol, anyway...
