Books of Magic V3 (2018)

Posted on by EHT Comics

Timothy Hunter is destined to be the world’s most powerful magician–at least, that’s what he’s been told. In the meantime, though, he’s just a regular teenager trying to deal with distant parents, school bullies, and adolescent crushes–and magic isn’t helping with any of it.

The forces of the supernatural seem to have it in for him. There are more than a few shadowy figures who will stop at nothing to eliminate what they see as a deadly threat to the balance of power–and those are the good guys. In order for Tim to survive long enough to fulfill his destiny, he’ll have to learn how to control his burgeoning abilities as well as figure out whom he can trust–and who wants him dead.

This journey of discovery begins with a new teacher named Ms. Rose, a homeless woman named Mad Hettie, and an owl named Yo-Yo–and it will lead him from suburban London straight to the heart of the Dreaming.

Danger Unlimited (1994)

Posted on by EHT Comics

Danger Unlimited was intended as an ongoing series, but it ended abruptly after just four issues at Byrne’s decision, due to less-than-anticipated sales brought on in part by the mid-1990s collapse of the American comic industry. Byrne himself provided insight into this collapse (or Wall Street-like “normalization”) in the letter column to issue #4. Byrne had intended the series to capture a wider, younger audience with a lower cover price and no content that would require a “mature” warning. Low pre-sales and long lead times gave him less revenue, so he made the decision that it was unprofitable to continue work on the title.

Posted on by EHT Comics

Green Lantern is the name of a number of superheroes appearing comic books published by DC Comics. They fight evil with the aid of rings that grant them a variety of extraordinary powers.

The first Green Lantern character, Alan Scott, was created in 1940 during the initial popularity of superheroes. Alan Scott usually fought common criminals in New York City with the aid of his magic ring.

In 1959, to capitalize on the booming popularity of science fiction, the Green Lantern character was reinvented as Hal Jordan, an officer for an interstellar law enforcement agency known as the Green Lantern Corps. Additional members of this agency, all of whom call themselves Green Lanterns, were introduced over time. Prominent Green Lanterns who also have had starring roles in the books include Guy Gardner, John Stewart, Kyle Rayner, and Simon Baz.
