It's a common enough insult in Ireland but often it's said by women to women. I think it's about how cows are large, thick, stubborn creatures. So sort of fat shaming thing.

Okay, two questions. 1. What is the craziest thing that Domino's powers have done? 2. Why is Beast the worst?

Dumb question and I'm sure the answer is no: is there somewhere I can get a complete list of a character's appearances? Ideally suited by release date but I don't care. I always notice that ComicVine has a thing on each character's page that shows their most nine or so recent appearances depending on if a book has them flagged as showing up in their wiki, but you can't seem to get more than the most recent nine.

EDIT: It's got 8-Ball's most recent appearance in Star-Lord, that tells me it stays pretty up to date if it has such a low tier character in a book that probably isn't super popular.

Maria Hill suffers for being the designated The Wrong One in addition to getting all the crap that comes from SHIELD being mandated by plot to be poo poo at their jobs.

If you want some good pre-Crisis GL stories that involve Hal, check out the Tales of the Green Lantern Corps collections. It's the early 80s miniseries and a bunch of backups from the regular GL title. Putting aside the HEAT insanity, I don't think people missed Hal per se as much as they did the Corps.

Unlike the nova corps, there were some pretty memorable c-listers in the GLC.

Superman was always going to come back to life, Batman's back was always going to heal, Wonder Woman was always going to get her mantle back. But with Hal, they made no guarantee that he was ever coming back as GL.

I feel like they made it intentionally harder to redeem Hal so that they could point to him and say "See this one stuck!" and that anyone trying to redeem him and bring him back would decide not to because of how many hoops of stupidity they'd have to jump through to do that. Enter: Geoff Johns.

Enter: Geoff Johns. That's it exactly. Carlin wanted a brand new hero on the level of Wally West which is why Hal was the bad guy in his two subsequent appearances (Zero Hour, 2-part in GL). And honestly, killing him off in FInal Night was a really good move and lead to some fantastic stories for Kyle. And hey, when Hal came back, it all felt right and we almost forgot that Hal sucked at first.

Depends on the title, character, and how current the issues are. New popular books would be fairly accurate, older titles depend on how obsessive the person filling out the info is. There was also some infighting years ago if edge cases like background characters or single panel flashbacks should be included, so I'm sure a bunch of stuff got lost. I still don't understand how the DC characters are chronicled what with all the reboots Crises.

I will defend the Parallax retcon forever, Johns took like half a dozen completely unrelated things that had happened over some 40-odd years and had never actually been explained, went "yeah but what if this", hung them all together, and made it so they not only made sense, but launched tons of new mythology and characters that the GL franchise has been running on ever since. That was drat fine work.

And then he completely ignored The Corpse because someone else wrote it and it didn't fit with that mythology even though it was a really cool addition to it.

This is reminding me that I have like 400 green lantern books from the late 80s to the mid 90s that I haven't looked at. My uncle gave me all his comics about a year back... dude had an unhealthy obsession with green lantern, especially Guy Gardner. Also Punisher, Lobo, and anything Garth Ennis wrote. Was any of the Guy Gardner stuff good?

Outside of the Giffen/DeMatteis JL, I can't remember seeing many interesting Guy stories. Maybe there was something in GLC Quarterly, but if so it's slipped my mind. The solo Guy book was mostly Beau Smith jacking off really hard trying to make Guy the Bestest Everything Ever in the DCU.
