Origin of Volthoom/The First Lantern (Green Lanterns Rebirth: Last Will of The First Lantern) 

"We did it!" "We are finally free of emotion!" "Wait--What's happening?!" "A storm?! How?" For a people free of their emotions, they were being awfully ... _emotive_ .

Passing around the sun is a year not a day, the 24 hour day comes from the rotation of the earth.

I watch both comicstorian and comics explained even if they cover the same story haha

Rob: For those of you who have not read Geoff Johns' stories... Me: Those poor poor people.

@comicsexplained never sees my comments but can you do a video on the origin/power set of Dr.Fate

As a Space nerd i just was to clarify that orbit length doesnt ,generally, have a correlation of length of day. Length of day has to do with the rotation of the planet no orbit.

I always thought manhunters were before volthoom cause Krona made the manhunters kill sector 66)

Rob you should do a DC hierarchy video.

I am glad you and other comic book YT channels can coordinate. I truly think that is awesome and very respectable.

What I love about Geoff Johns writing and his positions Chief Creative Officer is that he continuously reimagines the Green Lantern mythos. I love the GL corps , I think most people don't realize that this has a potential of being a profitable movie franchise. I feel that this is DC's version of Star Wars meets Lethal Weapon meets Avatar. I really can see a big mega movie trilogy with great big budget Special Effects with a Anime style action sequence for the GL ring constructs!!

Is this the best thing coming out of DC?

I think comicsexplained has slowly become my favourite channel

the video I was waiting for!! :)

I really wanted this video.thanks man

great video and love your other videos made me get into the DC universe more in depth

love this channel!!

Interesting video, Wish it was longer. Keep up the great work!

This channel made me appreciate the lanterns so much more

Rob don't quit you and comicstorian are the best you go in deep deep dep's in explaining that is still easy for someone who does normally read comics

Also yes finally rob finally origin of first lantern yusssss 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁

I love your videos, Rob.

awesome! I'm not into the Lantern corps stuff at all and this was a great explanation Rob. you really do such a good job man. keep up the good work dude

love ur videos bro

glad being under the weather hasn't taken away that trade mark chuckle of yours. Would be cool to add a chuckle meter to your vids Rob :)

your videos is awsome!

finally someone who has brought the clues together, I always thought there was alot more to the volthoom story, thanks, and maybe you could do a video on how manu lanterns there have been from sector 2814, peace!

Videos are great thanks alot

It's so cool how Comicstorian, Comic Pop and you work together. With all of the RU-vid pissing contest between channels going on these days its just refreshing. I am subscribed to all of you guys so you guys most likely share the same subscribers any ways. Good job man :)

YEAH, Rob is back!

this was really good one

Thank you for this video. I feel like its been forever since you did some epic DC content. Can we get a Green Lantern binge like you did with the Hulk and Red Hulk? I needs that...

wait for it.... .... "And what this does" lol awesome vids!.

This video is touching on some serious deeeep sh!# great job @ComicsExplained !

This Lore is by far the best I've heard so far..👍..

I like you and Comicstorian. You have different styles, and sometimes include different info.

Thanks for this video. I knew this issue was important, and it was really good in an indie horror flick sort of way, but I didn't know why. Thanks for filling in the blanks.

thanks Rob!

Well articulated.

man i have really gotten good at my comicsexplained impression..ive watched so many of these it happened through osmosis

this green lantern story is amazing!

Hey idk who comic historian was till this video but seriously your vids are better even if I never seen one of theirs XD

Appreciate your work brother, I hope that you are taking care of your health. You are appreciated by many, with great power comes great responsibility. Peace,

wow that's CRAZY oh dayum. It's really cool how all that rapped back around

This is awesome. Must go out and buy these issues.

I've never watched comicstorian so you automatically got my view

I love Lantern stuff soooo much!

hope you feel better Rob.

I like Benny on TWP and The Pull, but when it comes to RU-vid, I prefer Rob's explanations over Benny's storytelling style. I do like his IRL/discussion vids tho.

Could you do a discussion about magic in the DC universe? It seems like there are tons of types and they all do different things but it's never been super clear to me. Like...if Zatanna can just make whatever she says backwards happen, how is she not considered a god-tier reality warper?

Hey, Rob. I enjoy your commentary and explanation of everything comics: from characters to power sets, and stories. But what I would absolutely love to hear you say when I click on one of your videos, "Now, what I want to do today is talk about *Dr. Fate* and give you a better understanding..." That would be the bee's knees.

I just started watching your content about a week or so ago and became a sub after the first video. You make amazing content and you really put in the effort for your videos. I'm mostly a DC fan but I am trying to watch all the content so I'm familiar with what's going on. That being said I was wondering if you ever done a video on DC's Section 8? I learned about these guys some time ago and would love to hear your opinion on them. Thank you.

Yo this is cool I had no idea green lantern was this cool 😎

Hey Rob, could you do a video or set on Earth-X, Universe-X and Paradise-X? They were a cool and unique series that kind of reminded me of Miracle Man. Also do Miracle Man!

Feel better Rob

Who likes Robs content!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thats what we needed :P

good afternoon rob! it would be so awesome if you could make a video that would decide once and for all which jet is more powerful. the avengers jet or the xmens jet? your channel is my favorite channel on all of RU-vid.

Hey! ComicsExplained Can you do the Blackest Night storyline! That would be awesome!! 😎😎

hal jordan is the reason why i love comic

+ComicsExplained Can you do a video on Star Wars Legends comics like Tales of the Jedi, Invasion, Knights of the Old Republic, Dark Times, or Legacy I & II and/or Archie Sonic the Hedgehog like the Great Harmony arc, House of Cards, or Champions?

how fast a plant goes around the sun =/= how long the day will be, that is years. Great video as always though!

4:49 The speed at which the planet orbits the sun defines the length of a year not a day. The length of a day is depended on how fast the planet spins around its axis.

It makes perfect sense. You can make a DC lantern origins movie with this, it's perfect. 👌

have you did a origin of Gambit video? if not I'd love to hear you go over with him or his story lines

One million subs, LET'S GO!!!

I loved this issue is actually felt bad for him think about all the planets he saved and helped trying his best to save his planet only to be trapped for so long by his friends

Am I the only one who doesn't watch comicstorian? Rob gives me everything I need.

the new 52 lantern series is the best content dc has put out in years! blackest night and brightest day are the shit! wrath of the first lantern is great as well

love, love, LOVE your videos and the content you create and put out here to share with us. That being said, to correct you sir, the length of a day is determined by the speed of rotation and size of a planet like Earth not the speed of the orbital velocity of a planet around a star like our sun, which determines the length of a year (one definition of a year anyway). Thanks for who you are and for all that you do, never stop being you and doing the things you do sir. Cheers eh!

Always like the corps videos! Now you need to on the marvel side. Start the exiles lol

Enjoying this thanks :) afair~ I think based on the animated series, which is the canon I follow the closest.. Orange Lantern Corps (oldest) .. Star Sapphire (also as old and separate) Manhunters Red Lantern Green Lantern Blue Lantern I realize this is not the story of the comics, but y'know the way they told it made a lot more sense than the comics imho.. They tried creating a Lantern Corp (Avarice, I imagine in an attempt to promote the 'care' aspect of ownership, like caretakers) which failed, creating a civil war within that corps and throughout the galaxy, to respond to this they created the manhunters, the manhunters decimated Atrocitius' home planet killing his wife and children, which led to him creating the Red Lantern Corps. Again, in response to the Manhunters being seen as more of a threat than a peacekeeping force, the Guardians decommissioned the Manhunters and tried again at a Lantern Corps, this time with the power of Will. With the Blue Lantern Corps being started by Saint Walker and a renegade Guardian Ganthet.. to me this all makes perfect sense, No Indigo Tribe was introduced, but it would have been easy to tell their story as they could have existed and not been known about, being separate like the Star Sapphires..but existing from around the time where the Red Lanterns and Green Lanterns beginnings overlap. As Rob said, it's a bit 'messy' in the comics.. the animated series was very sensible and streamlined. I like it :)

Benny and Rob friendship goals

Does anybody believes that Kyle could eventually be as powerful as Volthoom? Think about it. Volthoom is the embodiment of the Emotional Electromagnetic Spectrum which comes from the white light of creation. Kyle can harness the power of the entire spectrum because his ring is powered by the white light. So if they were to fight, who would win? Also if I remember correctly, at the end of Brightest Day, the Life Entity had chosen Swamp Thing to be it's successor or will the writer recon that (I hope not). Plus let's not forget about the Life Equation. I'm probably over thinking things but Volthoom is an interesting character that has me wonder what if. Any thoughts?

Very interesting stuff. I've always been a Marvel guy, but this DC mythology is getting more and more intriguing to learn about. I always thought DC was more cheesy, and for kids, but how wrong I was. TOTALLY DIGGIN' IT!!!!

I'll be the dork. You meant rotate on it's axis, not orbit the sun :-) Great Vid

Can you do a video series on the Phantom Ring story please?

I am early! Finally.

a showdown between the jets of the avengers and xmens would be super cool. inquiring minds want to know which had the better weapons, defensive technology, etc.

Rob when are you going to take on the first chapter of Seven To Eternity?

My god guys... Green Lantern is the best thing coming out of DC right now...Just finished the whole Brightest Day series and man was that a looonnnnnggggg ride lol

I really just want a Green Lantern who fights crime like Superman or Spider-Man, this stuff is interesting but now he's just a space guy doing space guy stuff. He's a hero, just that one thing would let me enjoy his stories a lot more. Like Green Lantern fighting street crime with his cool ring? I love that

hey rob can you please do cyborg rebirth its amazing!

I always found the whole "if someone dies then the curse/object will stop" to be really easy to solve. In comics many characters die and come back form getting their whole bodies destroyed so why not just kill them and revive them later. Hell get a doctor to stop the hear and brain and revive the person before their brain starts to die off.

Awesome story

Blew my mind!!!!!

Finally!!!

I loved the blackest night. I have all the issues and tie-ins. the issue about Solomon Grundy was a great time in.

Wow. That is a cool story. A man creates a travel lantern to find a way to cure his planets problems. Than after who knows how many years of traveling and talking to others he gets a ring which lets him tap into the emothinal spectrum easier. Gets drunk with power and the guys who helped create the ring make 7 more and take him down. Than he sits for billions of years. Big events have small beginnings is so so true here.

Epic

One big question: Had this one for a long time - What kind of power rings do we get in the RobCorps ? 4Rth wall ring? Continuity Ring?

Fun Video.

Wrath of the first lantern was one of the best GL stories,I'm happy to see Volthoom making a return.

cool. 👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏bravo!👏👏👏👏 encore!!

hey rob,do a review of titans 8 rebirth

Topic idea. What if someone wore all the lantern rings. Could you imagine the power that the wearer would have.

Can you do a video on the origins of Slapstick?

So Rob.... Are you going to do a Captain Carrot story?

Holy crap- WHAT HAPPENS WHEN VOLTHOOM MEETS DR. MANHATTAN THEN?!?! ~_~

I feel like the Green Lantern mythos has all this wild stuff goin on in it,but I cant just bring myself to care.

I wish you two could team up on an split video
