January 1994: H.E.A.T. Sets Out to Avenge Green Lantern

In brightest day, in blackest night...! This week, V and Emily look at a demographic that we haven't covered too much on TWIFH: fanboys. And this week, it's the fanboys who are behaving badly, as once AGAIN we head over to DC Comics in the early 1990s for some straight-up bullshit. This time, it's all grand and it's all green as an "Emerald Twilight" descends over Coast City and hoo, boy, were the results -- both in-universe and in the real world -- terrible. Nothing says "I'm a fan of this thing" like declaring that you're going to attack real people over the fate of a fictional character, amirite? Also, if you need to know the current prices of laminating machines, we've got you covered. (As would a laminating machine.)
