Following Green Lantern’s Lead, Hulk Comes Out of the Closet

Fans of the old Green Lantern comics were shocked to learn the emerald space cop has been relaunched as an openly homosexual superhero!

“The idea of turning Green Lantern gay came after we watched Ryan Reynolds portray him in the live-action movie,” explained DC Comics writer Stanley Perot.

While some are calling Green Lantern’s outing a cheap ploy to sell more issues, others say it was just a matter of time.

“What do you expect? Superheroes are buff guys who wear spandex and capes,” said Stan Lee, president of Marvel Comics. “I’m surprised TMZ hasn’t caught any of the X-Men coming out of a gay bar yet.”
