Actually Simon Baz had no interaction with the Third Army until this month's issue. They've been lurking in the background of the main book, but it's been all character building.

He's back! <3
We may have lost TTOB, but at least Rafbrah is back!
How do we know it's him though? What if it IS TTOB?

I just ordered the first two library editions of Hellboy. I can't wait to catch up on it while I read Hellboy in Hell every month. Is there a recommended point where I should start reading
B.P.R.D?
Ask him what he thinks of Fables.

Somewhere Kyle Rayner is playing the world's smallest violin. In between shots of whiskey and crying jags, that is.
It's pretty obvious in Hellboy when you should start picking up BPRD
when hellboy goes of on his own
You're in for an awesome trip!
I actually started off reading BPRD and then migrated to hellboy and fell in love from there.
Rayner stars in his own book and is trying to master the entire spectrum.

I heard they completely retconned his entire history. Was that incorrect?
His whole N52 back story hasn't been revealed yet. Most of it is the same though-Ganthet handpicked him for the ring, he was the Torchbearer, Alex was fridged, etc. What we don't know is if he hosted Ion, who killed Alex, or why he was the Torchbearer. He's also only had the ring for 2 years and presumably was never a League member.

I didn't even touch B.P.R.D. until after I finished The Storm and the Fury. I'd recommend at least starting after The Conqueror Worm.
And pick up the 4 Plague of Frogs omnibus editions - they're gorgeous and surprisingly cheap. Cheaper than buying all the TPBs, anyway.
A friend of mine is selling all of the Plague of Frog Hardcovers and Hellboy library editions if anyone is interested.

I was planning on picking up the omnibus editions once I get to the series.

Everybody should be reading the Unwritten. Incredible comics.
So...
TTOB has one final act of comics terror, a doomsday thread.
Rafa comes in to save Comics Gaf from his vengeance, defeats TTOB.
TTOB is locked up, recovering from an artistic crisis when suddenly he speaks : "Rafa, brahs, Rafa"
The mods come to get Rafa after a small time-out from posting to visit TTOB in his time of need. Slowly walking up to TTOB, Rafa says but one word, " gardenburger," and walks away.
I'm convinced.

I need to catch up on that. I haven't read it since issue #35.

I remember reading somewhere recently that a recent retcon made it o that Kyle never went through the "last green lantern" phase, that he no longer used ion to restart the corps and revive the oans as male/female. Also, that the reasons behind Alex's death no longer made sense. Not to mention that the rest of his ex-girlfriends don't.exist anymore.

Man DC, just give me a little side book like that Teen Titans Year One mini you did. I don't care what matches up.
In the first issue of New Guardians (his book) they flashback and show all of the Corps wiped out but Ganthet, who then traveled to Earth to give Kyle the ring. In the zero issue from September, Carol tells him that Hal had told her that for a time Kyle was the Torchbearer for the entire Corps. Nothing concerning Ion (or any of the entities for that matter) has been referenced since the N52 started. The reason for Alex's death hasn't been given, just that it happened while Kyle was off world and she was stuffed in the fridge. It's true that Jade no longer exists, Alan Scott is gay in the N52 anyway, but Sora's status is unknown. She was on the cover of GLC 1, but hasn't appeared in any of the books yet.
Basically they're slowly revealing Kyle's origins little by little to make it fit into the N52. And yes he was shown on Oa with other Lanterns but no time frame was given as to when it happened-it was Kyle seeing Ganthet and Sayd interact for his first time.

Kyle was the best lantern, DC always ruins the characters I like the most. Perhaps if I start becoming a big superman fan they'll kill him off forever...
Kyle is still awesome, he's going to be
the first to channel the entire spectrum.
You stay the hell away from Superman, character killer.

I put the issue down after that line. Does Y the Last Man have such awful dialogue?
Hal isn't dead. Hal is "dead." You're talking about him and Sinestro mucking about in Black Hand's death realm right? That's not dead, that's "you guys go off and play somewhere else so we can focus on this new guy."
Are you not reading New Guardians? Shit is CASH MONEY.

Huh. I haven't heard anyone else having issues. Try deleting/reinstalling, then redownload all your purchases. Sounds like you have a flawed install.
I got the same thing after the last update.

Fill that space with love. And trades, man, trades!
Finally got to read ASM 699 and 700, apart from the very last issue of Spider-Island ( with all the pants), these are my favorite Slott issues, and probably the only three overall i've liked lately since i didn't care for Island or Ends of the Earth. Slott plays the troll card HARD in these issues to the point of fan fiction bizarro land, but since my expectations were for that very thing, i enjoyed it. The Mary Jane and Spidey interactions were especially terrible, since when is MJ cool with
But again, fan fiction bizarro land.
