I have two reasons for loving this page:

1: I have developed a very fast, very strong love for Simon Baz’s character. He’s unsure but totally willing to try. He’s great for the DC universe and they should hurry up and put him in more stuff and give him his own run. 

2: The duality in this series of Hal and Sinestro is summed up by their two messages so well. Hal’s message of encouragement and support, of love and striving to help save people by stopping the Guardians. Then Sinestro’s message of hate and fear, of revenge and destroying the Guardians once and for all.

You really get a sense in this issue in particular that they are two individuals who have huge differences in method and attitude but who strive for a similar goal; stopping the Guardians. Hal wants to call for backup, Sinestro to be released, Hal wants the ring wearer to trust humans and (surprise surprise) Sinestro warns to trust no one. 

If you saw these two messages playing at once in a confusing mix, which voice would you listen to?

Visually the art is great, the colour is great, and the meshing together of Hal and Sinestro? Wonderful. It jumped out at me immediately. It really shows that they’re both at war with one another but working together, whether they want to or not. 

I won’t get into Sinestro’s actions here, or his attitude towards Hal and how it shifts all over the place, but if you read the three volumes of this run you’ll see it pretty damn clearly.

Green Lantern #14 (I think, it’s in Vol. 3 of the 2011 Johns run)

Égarements

With application, precision and humour, photographer Cerise Doucède created the series ‘Égarements’ (aberration) consisting of installations which represents each of our dreams and obsession or even fears.

By shaping her own visions, she reproduces her version of reality and sublimates the most ordinary moments. Objects thus come to life around one or more figures, in intimate locations, at key moments of everyday life. Cerise Doucède creates scenes filled with objects suspended in the space, like pirouetting thoughts.

Marble Curtain by Studio Gang Architects

About the project:

Stone performs best when subjected to compressive loads, and prior to the Marble Curtain project, no technical data existed for its strength in tension. For the Masonry Variations exhibition (sponsored by the International Masonry Institute in conjunction with the Smithsonian Institution’s National Building Museum), we chose to explore stone’s structural capacity and challenge conventional thinking about this age-old material by hanging it in tension from the museum’s vaulted ceiling.

Laboratory testing of fracture, geometry, laminate backing material, and adhesives yielded the necessary material specifications for construction. Structural investigations found that by linking the pieces of stone together in a series of jigsaw-like chains, the Marble Curtain could hang without any skeletal support or frame. Water-jet cutting allowed for intricate, puzzle-shaped cuts. For structural redundancy, each piece was laminated with a fiber-resin backing.

When completed, the Marble Curtain was 18 feet tall, made of 620 pieces of stone, and weighed just 1500 pounds. The stone was only 3/8 of an inch thick, which allowed the design to explore the translucency of the material: backlighting revealed the unique color and pattern of each piece, and inspired exhibit visitors to examine it closely in wonder.
