The Sinestro Corps War has ended, and the War of Light is about to begin. The Dudes wrap up our look at Green Lantern as we approach The Blackest Night.
This week we talk to Flash Rebirth’s artist Ethan Van Sciver. He talks about the Rebirth series, his trip to South America and working with writer Grant Morrison. This is one LEKKER episode.
The Blackest Night has arrived with Blackest Night #1. Half Hour Wasted's Brad Milyo joins The Legion of Dudes' Ken, John and Jim to discuss the book and give our first impressions of DC's newest event.

Start off with a burning man falling from the Eiffel Tower, incorporate four sexy co-eds from around the world and top it off with blood thirsty gnomes and you the latest offering from Red 5 Comics called, “Beautiful Creatures.”
Writer Kurtis J. Wiebe and artist Ash Jaskson have created a title that may be a bit disjointed but is still a lot of fun. Wiebe’s writing is solid and both quick and fun to read. Throughout the story he manages to give each character a distinct voice that you can identify. Jackson has an animated/poppish style that perfect for this story and easy to look at and fun to follow...
Prototype is the videogame equivalent of a summer popcorn horror movie; fun, full of gory action and explosions, and held together by the flimsiest of plots. Just as not every movie needs to be an Oscar-winner, not every game needs to be Bioshock or Fallout 3. Prototype does what it does well in a fun way, but just like the empty calories of a donut, it won't stick with you much past the closing credits.
In Prototype you play as Alex Mercer , an amnesiac (how original!) bioweapon out for revenge on those what done him wrong. Along the way, as you slowly piece together who and what you are and what exactly happened to turn you into this Venom-esque killing machine, you'll explore the island of Manhattan, consuming civilians for their biomass, fighting the army by hijacking their tanks and helicopters, and clashing with the infected; the other failed experiments that came from the same genetic tinkering program you did.
It doesn't matter if you call them animated features or cartoons, hours have been spent watching Bugs, Daffy, Superman, Spidey and a host of others on Saturday mornings for decades. The Dudes spend some time talking about our favorites of then and today.
"A long time ago..." the Dudes take a look at Dark Horse's ambitious four book Star Wars crossover event, Vector. Also, a big announcement regarding The Legion's 50th Episode.
Gearing up for Blackest Night, the Dudes look at the return of Hal Jordan to the Green Lantern Corps in Geoff Johns' and Ethan van Sciver's Green Lantern Rebirth.
Okay, here's the deal: This week’s show is about two hours long, but towards the end, Bill unveils a new segment that will bring Brad and Frank to tears.
This week’s episode was actually recorded two weeks ago and was meant to be released last week. Since the guys recorded a new episode for Father’s Day last week, that show, from two weeks ago, got bumped up to this week. Also, this week the guys introduce a new segment, but, because of the reasons stated above, it isn’t really new anymore. Trust us, it will all make sense once you listen.
This week the guys call Frank’s Dad, introduce a new show segment and then top it all off with a game of Star Wars Trivia Pursuit with Brad’s daughters Ashli and Alison.
This week the HHW crew reviews and conjectures Blackest Night issue 0 and Flash: Rebirth issues 2 and 3.What? Look... not every show summary has to be funny. Sheesh...
Is this episode we find out about Brad’s surprise party, talk to artist and pizza connoisseur Jun Bob Kim and hear from some listeners. Happy Birthday Brad!
