I've never read anything GL but the characters do have me curious with all the c3g designs and my son watching the cartoon...what would be a good place to start.

Would I want it to be everything I love...sure...but that's just not realistic so I'm going to focus on finding things that will make me unhappy and work on fixing those.

It's pre-New 52, but as I understand it most of the GL stuff carried over, so I'd start with the graphic novels and pick up Green Lantern: No Fear by Geoff Johns, which I believe collects the start of his run.

C3G can be played with official Heroscape, but it's not recommended.

Yeah, the character is awesome, but I've already started to lose interest in the plot. The Minimum Carnage storyline was awful, and now they're bringing back the Other, which confused the crap out of me the first time around, so I wasn't keen on it coming back.

Re: Comics: what are you currently reading?

Thanks to all this newfangled Iphone comic reader wizardry, I've started actively keeping up with comics to a degree. Though I don't read any of the traditional Superhero stuff. The constant retconing and Universe changing punches and what not really keep me away from superhero comics, I just wait for the cartoon adaptations that cut out most of that silliness.

I mostly read Transformer comics, particularly More than Meets the Eye (one of the two current ongoings) which is an awesome comic and lets a lot of Transformers get some limelight after 20 plus years of being background characters at best. I also read the Robots in Disguise (the other current ongoing) on occasion. Just to keep up with current TF universe though, I don’t particularly like the comic and it’s nowhere near is good as MtMtE in my opinion. I read the spotlight issues (one-offs that ‘spotlight’ a certain character) when the subject interests me. Also started reading Regeneration 1, which is a continuation of the original Marvel comic from the 80s.

Outside of Transformers, I read Atomic Robo (the zany adventures of a robot through World War 2 and beyond) and Chew (about a detective that gets psychic visions from what he eats, it’s more bizarre than it sounds). I'm not even close to current on either, but I download the collections and such every now and again. I thought the ‘free comic book day’ (2009) issue of Atomic Robo was particularly fun, also it was free.

Lately I've been trying to read comic tie-ins to cartoons I watched as well (mostly the BtAS comic), pretty much just to satisfy my completest nature.

I've heard good things about Chew. It's one I might have to check out in collected form at some point.

You know, TF comics also have multiple universes. They follow the path of Marvel more closely since they started as Marvel comics. I do like how Marvel created their universe separation, unlike DC.

The main reason I like Marvel better than DC is that Marvel doesn't kill a superhero and then say "Wait that was from an alternate universe." Ruins it for me, at least Marvel doesn't do that to my knowledge. Ranting aside I've been reading some of the Teen Titans comics lately.

"They are too numerous to fight. What shall we do?" "Fight anyway."

"You can never defeat another if you know not how to defeat yourself."

At Marvel, they're usually just clones that they kill off.

I've been reading New 52 - Green Lantern, Green Lantern Corps and Justice League. Also, Uncanny Avengers is really good.

I don't know how old your son is, but most of the recent GL comics are targeted for a teen audience. There is often murder portrayed. My son is a bit too young for this content so he's been reading the GL comic series based on the Cartoon Network cartoon. It only ran for 10 issues or so, but it really enjoyed it and it was age appropriate.
