Now, X-Factor and the absent Uncanny crew join the mix. But can even the combined might of the &lt;i&gt;entire&lt;/i&gt; X-family be enough to stop a war-maddened Hulk?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt; This issue puts me in something of a quandary. Not long ago,  &lt;a href="http://www.comixtreme.com/forums/showthread.php?t=35710" target="_blank"&gt;I wrote a column about the dos and don’ts of a crossover&lt;/a&gt;. There, I said the main criteria for a crossover tie-in were that the issue should add something to the main event or use the event to advance the title that features the tie-in. Well, in the end, &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;World War Hulk: X-Men&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; doesn’t really do either of those. The only thing that this adds to &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;World War Hulk&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; is to demonstrate how the Hulk reacted to Xavier’s membership in the Illuminati, which honestly isn’t that important. What’s more, it doesn’t really add too much to any of the X-Men titles either (except for a &lt;i&gt;possible&lt;/i&gt; development for one member of the satellite books, which may or may not be picked up in the main title). Despite that, though, I find myself loving this series, so I am forced to add a third criteria: sometimes a fight scene can be just plain cool enough to justify a tie-in for no other reason.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Seriously, the fights that have ravaged through all three issues of this miniseries have been &lt;i&gt;fantastic&lt;/i&gt;, and even though they end rather abruptly this issue, they end &lt;i&gt;well&lt;/i&gt;. What’s more, the &lt;i&gt;way&lt;/i&gt; they end is important, as they’re probably the only way they &lt;i&gt;could&lt;/i&gt; have ended, given that we know the Hulk isn’t going to lose &lt;i&gt;or&lt;/i&gt; capture Xavier, thanks to the main title. &lt;b&gt;Christos Gage&lt;/b&gt; has a wonderful handle on all of the characters, but especially impresses me with his work with the &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;New X-Men&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; kids, and in fact, this is the first title that’s actually shown some meaning to the pointless deaths that have occurred willy-nilly in that title ever since &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;House of M&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; ended two “events” ago.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;DiVito&lt;/b&gt;’s artwork, as always, is wonderful. Lots of action, lots of stuff blowing up – it’s all you could want.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt; Ultimately, this is a fairly unimportant corner of &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;World War Hulk&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;.

The Amazons have been banished to the fours corners of the world to live out their lives as ordinary human beings. The Queen lives alone on Paradise Island. And Diana has a lot of paper work to catch up back at the Department of Metahuman Affairs. It also seems there are a couple people still unaccounted for. One is Everyman and the other is Sarge Steel. It seems neither of them has been seen since the war began. Diana and Nemesis go out and search for both of them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Everything is tied up nice and neat in this issue. There is even a smattering of humour thrown in here and there to move the panels along.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The art is great. Very crisp and clean.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For what amounts to an epilogue this was a fair issue. &lt;b&gt;J. Torres&lt;/b&gt; did a fine job with the character. But now I'm happy simply to know that Gail Simone is coming next month and hopefully breathe new life into this title.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/477628898336501635-6204692731217147909?l=andi-supriyono.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://andi-supriyono.blogspot.com/feeds/6204692731217147909/comments/default' title='Poskan Komentar'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=477628898336501635&amp;postID=6204692731217147909&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Komentar'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/477628898336501635/posts/default/6204692731217147909'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/477628898336501635/posts/default/6204692731217147909'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://andi-supriyono.blogspot.com/2007/09/war-of-wonder-woman.html' title='WAR of  WONDER WOMAN'/><author><name>FLASHPOINT</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18245446361661182113</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-477628898336501635.post-262771854412652491</id><published>2007-08-23T08:51:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2007-08-23T09:16:11.453-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Comics'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='DC Universe'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Metropolis'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='DC Comics'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Booster Gold'/><title type='text'>BOOSTER GOLD, FROM FUTURE WITH DIGNITY</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Dz_Jjmyi2Qo/Rs2xq48mDnI/AAAAAAAAAA0/6NtL53FatIo/s1600-h/booster-cvr1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Dz_Jjmyi2Qo/Rs2xq48mDnI/AAAAAAAAAA0/6NtL53FatIo/s200/booster-cvr1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5101929303279799922" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;PURE GOLD, BABY!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Booster Gold returned last week only to be thrust into the frustratingly frenzied existence of unknown multiverse savior once again. Ever since his showboating appearance in the ’80s, Booster has proven himself quite the original character—and he’ll probably be the first to tell you so. After suffering relative obscurity over the years, Booster began a steady rise back into the limelight since his starring role in the “Justice League Unlimited” episode “The Greatest Story Never Told,” coincidentally beginning his tradition of unrecognized heroism and immortalizing Billy West as the voice of Skeets for many. With popularity at an all-time high, it’s no wonder that for old, and new, Booster issues, you’ll probably be paying their weight in gold. Booster’s first appearance, in the original &lt;i&gt;Booster Gold&lt;/i&gt; series, soars high at $12, with subsequent issues still around cover. Meanwhile, the Art Adams variant cover to the all-new &lt;i&gt;Booster Gold&lt;/i&gt; series currently slides in at $10.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/477628898336501635-262771854412652491?l=andi-supriyono.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://andi-supriyono.blogspot.com/feeds/262771854412652491/comments/default' title='Poskan Komentar'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=477628898336501635&amp;postID=262771854412652491&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Komentar'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/477628898336501635/posts/default/262771854412652491'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/477628898336501635/posts/default/262771854412652491'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://andi-supriyono.blogspot.com/2007/08/booster-gold-from-future-with-dignity.html' title='BOOSTER GOLD, FROM FUTURE WITH DIGNITY'/><author><name>FLASHPOINT</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18245446361661182113</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Dz_Jjmyi2Qo/Rs2xq48mDnI/AAAAAAAAAA0/6NtL53FatIo/s72-c/booster-cvr1.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-477628898336501635.post-6101083699960070158</id><published>2007-08-12T07:11:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-08-12T07:28:33.978-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Cap'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Comics'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Return'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Captain America'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Alex Ross'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Marvel Comics'/><title type='text'>ALEX ROSS 'RETURN'S TO MARVEL</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Dz_Jjmyi2Qo/Rr8WiaqDFCI/AAAAAAAAAAk/QrgSg-5Pb_E/s1600-h/CaptaPainti.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 174px; height: 259px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Dz_Jjmyi2Qo/Rr8WiaqDFCI/AAAAAAAAAAk/QrgSg-5Pb_E/s320/CaptaPainti.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5097818083733738530" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10;"&gt;Marvel teases the return of comics’ premier painter—and Captain &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;st1:country-region&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10;"&gt;America&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10;"&gt;?

They said that comic books was the lowest culture not a pop culture, it would make young people lazy, and only wasting time reading it, so some people burned comic books like they burned VIRUS INFECTED PIG FARM.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My father used to have the same notion about comic books as I mention above. For him comic books had negative impact on children, wasting time and degrading. If he saw me reading a comic book, he would scolded me…ordered me to go to my room and study mathematics, biology or chemistry,…yup.. my father wanted me to be a doctor or something like that. He thought that comic book was useless hobby and made young people did negative things.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Until one day…I read a special comic book, I did not see my father come in and saw me reading a comic book.&lt;br /&gt;He said: “ What is that?...”&lt;br /&gt;“Comic book”. I replied&lt;br /&gt;“I know that…!”,&lt;br /&gt;“What is that?....” he said&lt;br /&gt;‘It’s a comic book about HOLY PROPHET”. I said&lt;br /&gt;“What !?”….my father stood still….”Let me see that….!” , he grab my comic book. He read it for a while and he said: “This is good comic book!”.&lt;br /&gt;In his opinion a comic book is a book full of wrestling, battling, guns, men hit each other, super heroes, villains, wild imagination…..and much more. That is one side …but there is always another side of the coin.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since then his view about comic books change forever. He would let me read comic, but only in my spare time after I finished all my homework.&lt;br /&gt;That’ s my story when I was very young…do you have the same story?...just share with me.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/477628898336501635-2292162873341762807?l=andi-supriyono.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://andi-supriyono.blogspot.com/feeds/2292162873341762807/comments/default' title='Poskan Komentar'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=477628898336501635&amp;postID=2292162873341762807&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Komentar'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/477628898336501635/posts/default/2292162873341762807'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/477628898336501635/posts/default/2292162873341762807'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://andi-supriyono.blogspot.com/2007/07/angry-father-and-comics.html' title='ANGRY FATHER AND COMICS'/><author><name>FLASHPOINT</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18245446361661182113</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-477628898336501635.post-8709805104197691459</id><published>2007-07-29T05:29:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2007-07-29T07:25:07.971-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Comics'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='DC Universe'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Manhunter'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Rebirth of the Green Lantern'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Fall of Green Lantern'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Guardian'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Green Lantern'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Sectors'/><title type='text'>GREEN LANTERN CORP- Great Comics from DC Comics</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Dz_Jjmyi2Qo/RqyaOqqDFBI/AAAAAAAAAAU/zrXx22aX_ds/s1600-h/GL+Corps.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Dz_Jjmyi2Qo/RqyaOqqDFBI/AAAAAAAAAAU/zrXx22aX_ds/s320/GL+Corps.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5092614855408686098" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:GlCv2.jpg" title=""&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration: none;"&gt;&lt;!--[if gte vml 1]&gt;&lt;v:shapetype id="_x0000_t75" coordsize="21600,21600" spt="75" preferrelative="t" path="m@4@5l@4@11@9@11@9@5xe" filled="f" stroked="f"&gt;  &lt;v:stroke joinstyle="miter"&gt;  &lt;v:formulas&gt;   &lt;v:f eqn="if lineDrawn pixelLineWidth 0"&gt;   &lt;v:f eqn="sum @0 1 0"&gt;   &lt;v:f eqn="sum 0 0 @1"&gt;   &lt;v:f eqn="prod @2 1 2"&gt;   &lt;v:f eqn="prod @3 21600 pixelWidth"&gt;   &lt;v:f eqn="prod @3 21600 pixelHeight"&gt;   &lt;v:f eqn="sum @0 0 1"&gt;   &lt;v:f eqn="prod @6 1 2"&gt;   &lt;v:f eqn="prod @7 21600 pixelWidth"&gt;   &lt;v:f eqn="sum @8 21600 0"&gt;   &lt;v:f eqn="prod @7 21600 pixelHeight"&gt;   &lt;v:f eqn="sum @10 21600 0"&gt;  &lt;/v:formulas&gt;  &lt;v:path extrusionok="f" gradientshapeok="t" connecttype="rect"&gt;  &lt;o:lock ext="edit" aspectratio="t"&gt; &lt;/v:shapetype&gt;&lt;v:shape id="_x0000_i1025" type="#_x0000_t75" alt="" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:GlCv2.jpg" title="&amp;quot;&amp;quot;" style="'width:187.5pt;height:284.25pt'" button="t"&gt;  &lt;v:imagedata src="file:///C:\DOCUME~1\ADMINI~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\msohtml1\03\clip_image001.jpg" href="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/8/81/GlCv2.jpg/250px-GlCv2.jpg"&gt; &lt;/v:shape&gt;&lt;![endif]--&gt;&lt;!--[if !vml]--&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;!--[endif]--&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;GREEN LANTERN CORP THE AMAZING CONCEPT IN THE COMIC WORLD&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;This is about around 3000 members men, women, aliens, of the corps whose sworn to protect the galaxy of DC Comics, just like police in your town.

The &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guardians_of_the_Universe" title="Guardians of the Universe"&gt;Guardians of the Universe&lt;/a&gt;, a hyper-intelligent and noble, but sometimes short-sighted and arrogant race, founded and still administers the Green Lantern Corps from the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planet" title="Planet"&gt;planet&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oa" title="Oa"&gt;Oa&lt;/a&gt;. The Guardians divided the universe into 3,600 “sectors” and choose two natives of each sector to serve as that sector's Green Lanterns. This currently grants the Corps approximately 7,200 members. Each Green Lantern is given a &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_ring_%28weapon%29" title="Power ring (weapon)"&gt;power ring&lt;/a&gt; that provides the wearer with great control over the world around him or her.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;The Guardians created the Green Lantern Corps some three billion years ago and the force has survived multiple rebellions, murders and collapses from within and without.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;span class="mw-headline"&gt;&lt;b style=""&gt;Guardians&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b style=""&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;In the early days of the Universe, natives of the overpopulated planet Maltus evolved into immortals of great power. They subsequently settled the planet Oa and declared themselves the Guardians of the Universe and enemies of evil after one of their own, the renegade scientist &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Krona_%28DC_Comics%29" title="Krona (DC Comics)"&gt;Krona&lt;/a&gt;, performed a forbidden experiment that had terrible consequences for the Universe at large.&lt;/p&gt;        &lt;p&gt;Exactly what those consequences were have varied with different versions of the stories; originally, it was supposed to have unleashed Evil in the first place. Later, it was attributed to have created the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antimatter" title="Antimatter"&gt;Antimatter&lt;/a&gt; Universe of &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qward" title="Qward"&gt;Qward&lt;/a&gt;. Later still, it was used as the explanation for the existence of &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallel_universe_%28fiction%29" title="Parallel universe (fiction)"&gt;parallel universes&lt;/a&gt; in the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DC_Universe" title="DC Universe"&gt;DC Universe&lt;/a&gt; (and the creation of the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monitor_%28comics%29" title="Monitor (comics)"&gt;Monitor&lt;/a&gt;), which eventually led to the rearrangement of Time itself, as seen in the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crisis_on_Infinite_Earths" title="Crisis on Infinite Earths"&gt;Crisis on Infinite Earths&lt;/a&gt;. Finally, it has been stated that it accelerated &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entropy" title="Entropy"&gt;entropy&lt;/a&gt;, shortening the duration of the universe by a billion years.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Some of the Guardians, however, disagreed on how to deal with the chaos that had been unleashed. One group, calling itself the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Controllers" title="The Controllers"&gt;Controllers&lt;/a&gt;, separated itself from the others and favored using more violent methods to achieve their ends (a later interpretation says they left over a disagreement on how to use the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manhunters_%28comics%29" title="Manhunters (comics)"&gt;Manhunters&lt;/a&gt; - see below). They would later found the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darkstars" title="Darkstars"&gt;Darkstars&lt;/a&gt; organization. The female Oans, feeling no need to involve themselves in the situation, also left, becoming later known as the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zamarons" title="Zamarons"&gt;Zamarons&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="mw-headline"&gt;&lt;b style=""&gt;Manhunter failure&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b style=""&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;To enforce their will and guard against &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extraterrestrial_life" title="Extraterrestrial life"&gt;alien&lt;/a&gt; menaces of all sorts, the Guardians had created a legion of robotic sentinels called the Manhunters about 3.5 billion years ago. The Manhunters eventually came to resent their servitude and were also viewed as flawed due to their inability to recognize and/or feel fear. They rebelled against the Guardians and fought a millenia long war that culminated with an attack on the planet Oa. Ultimately, the Guardians overcame their android servants, stripping them of their power and banishing them across the universe. Eventually, they formed their own robotic society where they pursued their own agenda (which often included interfering with and foiling the plans of the Guardians).&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class="mw-headline"&gt;Creation of the Corps&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Chastened by the failure of the Manhunters, the Guardians decided that their newest force of soldiers for good would consist of living beings, ones who had free will and strong moral character. To arm this new legion of celestial knights, the Guardians created the &lt;i&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_ring_%28weapon%29" title="Power ring (weapon)"&gt;Power Rings&lt;/a&gt;,&lt;/i&gt; rings of inconceivably-advanced technology that allowed their wearers to project green beams of energy with which the bearer could conjure objects of any size or shape, limited only by his or her imagination and willpower.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Although the connection between the Guardian Oans and the origin of the Green Lantern symbol has yet to be clarified, it has been revealed that the lantern itself has its roots in the first life in the universe. Allegedly, the first life in the galaxy emerged on an unnamed foggy world, and when they developed a police force - the first in the universe - the constabulary carried a lantern lit with a green chemical flame, hence a corp of Green Lanterns. It is intimated that this ideal was adopted and spread throughout the galaxy as a symbol for law and justice and its ability to pierce confusion and uncertainty, eventually resulting in the formation of the Green Lantern Corps, with requisite power rings and lantern-shaped batteries along traditional lines. Initially consisting of only a few dozen agents at a time, the Corps radically increased its numbers approximately 1000 years ago. The Guardians sought to bring order to the planet known as &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apokolips" title="Apokolips"&gt;Apokolips&lt;/a&gt;. Home to &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darkseid" title="Darkseid"&gt;Darkseid&lt;/a&gt;, a galactic tyrant, Apokolips was and is a stronghold of evil. Green Lantern &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raker_Qarrigat" title="Raker Qarrigat"&gt;Raker Qarrigat&lt;/a&gt; sought to remove Darkseid from power, only to be humbled by Darkseid's might. Raker returned to Oa, where he convinced the Guardians that taking Apokolips would require an army. Authorized to start a massive recruitment, Raker and his fellow Lanterns inducted thousands of new members, bringing total membership up to 3600.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class="mw-headline"&gt;Crisis and Aftermath&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Both the Corps and the Guardians suffered casualties during the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crisis_on_Infinite_Earths" title="Crisis on Infinite Earths"&gt;Crisis on Infinite Earths&lt;/a&gt;. The Guardians' failure to take appropriate action during the Crisis led to their decision to depart Oa in the company of their female counterparts, the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zamarons" title="Zamarons"&gt;Zamarons&lt;/a&gt;. Left to their own devices, the Corps underwent a major reorganization. A team of Green Lanterns led by &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hal_Jordan" title="Hal Jordan"&gt;Hal Jordan&lt;/a&gt; was stationed on Earth, and the system of assigning one Green Lantern to a sector was temporarily abandoned. The decison of the Corps to execute &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinestro" title="Sinestro"&gt;Sinestro&lt;/a&gt; resulted in the activation of a previously unknown fail-safe that depowered the rings of every Green Lantern except for &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hal_Jordan" title="Hal Jordan"&gt;Hal Jordan&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guy_Gardner" title="Guy Gardner"&gt;Guy Gardner&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%27nort" title="G'nort"&gt;G'nort&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ch%27p" title="Ch'p"&gt;Ch'p&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;The Guardians eventually returned to Oa and began the reconstruction of the Corps, assigning &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guy_Gardner" title="Guy Gardner"&gt;Guy Gardner&lt;/a&gt; to Earth, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Stewart" title="John Stewart"&gt;John Stewart&lt;/a&gt; to the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mosaic_World" title="Mosaic World"&gt;Mosaic World&lt;/a&gt;, and &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hal_Jordan" title="Hal Jordan"&gt;Hal Jordan&lt;/a&gt; to recruit new members. Ironically, Jordan himself would eventually be responsible for destroying the incarnation of the Corps that he had helped create.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;h3&gt;&lt;a name="Fall_of_the_Corps"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="mw-headline"&gt;Fall of the Corps&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;  &lt;p&gt;The Green Lantern Corps patrolled the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DC_Comics" title="DC Comics"&gt;DC Universe&lt;/a&gt; for over three billion years. In that vast length of time, some Green Lanterns rebelled and fell into evil. A rogue Green Lantern, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universo" title="Universo"&gt;Universo&lt;/a&gt;, was briefly shown to exist in the future epoch of the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legion_of_Super-Heroes" title="Legion of Super-Heroes"&gt;Legion of Super-Heroes&lt;/a&gt;, but multiple &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retcon" title="Retcon"&gt;retcons&lt;/a&gt; have long since eliminated this possible future. Two of the most important rebels were &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinestro" title="Sinestro"&gt;Sinestro&lt;/a&gt;, the rogue Green Lantern, and &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hal_Jordan" title="Hal Jordan"&gt;Hal Jordan&lt;/a&gt;, driven insane over the loss of his home, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coast_City" title="Coast City"&gt;Coast City&lt;/a&gt;, and possession by &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallax_%28comics%29" title="Parallax (comics)"&gt;Parallax&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;The Green Lantern Corps ranks were decimated by Hal Jordan during his madness, its power source, the Main Battery, extinguished; and Oa destroyed, removing the original power source for the rings.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;After the fall of the Corps, other organizations tried to fill in the power vacuum left by the Guardians. Two organizations had initial notable successes; the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darkstars" title="Darkstars"&gt;Darkstars&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L.E.G.I.O.N." title="L.E.G.I.O.N."&gt;L.E.G.I.O.N.&lt;/a&gt; However neither ever achieved the power and reach of the Green Lantern Corps.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;h3&gt;&lt;a name="Rebirth_of_the_Corps"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="mw-headline"&gt;Rebirth of the Corps&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Recently Oa was reconstructed by Hal &lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;Jordan&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt;'s old sidekick Tom Kalmaku, and shortly thereafter &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kyle_Rayner" title="Kyle Rayner"&gt;Kyle Rayner&lt;/a&gt;, the last remaining Green Lantern, resurrected the Guardians as children using the power Parallax had stolen. The resurrections did not stop there. It was discovered that Hal Jordan had committed his crimes while possessed by the ancient fear parasite &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallax_%28comics%29" title="Parallax (comics)"&gt;Parallax&lt;/a&gt;. Parallax had been imprisoned within the Central Power Battery for billions of years and is the mysterious "Yellow Impurity" within the Corps' green light that leaves them vulnerable against yellow. Once Parallax had been exorcised, the now adult Guardians re-imprisoned Parallax. With that, the Guardians continued the re-construction and expansion of the Corps. The new Corps, under the training of &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kilowog" title="Kilowog"&gt;Kilowog&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kyle_Rayner" title="Kyle Rayner"&gt;Kyle Rayner&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guy_Gardner_%28comics%29" title="Guy Gardner (comics)"&gt;Guy Gardner&lt;/a&gt; and other veterans, was primarily filled by new recruits. Only a handful of veteran Lanterns are back in the ranks. Each sector will have two Lanterns assigned to protect it. Due to an ancient pact with the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Spider_Guild&amp;action=edit" title="Spider Guild"&gt;Spider Guild&lt;/a&gt; the Vega star system is off limits to all members of the Corps.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;With 3600 sectors and two Green Lanterns per sector, it will be many years before the Corps regains its former strength. It presently lacks both the manpower and the political influence it once had due to its years-long absence from many sectors. This has left it currently unable to intervene in situations it might have before Parallax destroyed the old Corps, including conflicts such as the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rann-Thanagar_War" title="Rann-Thanagar War"&gt;Rann-Thanagar War&lt;/a&gt;. The Guardians remain staunchly uninvolved in what they see as a conflict that could destabilize many sectors, but that has not stopped Kyle Rayner and Kilowog from helping refugees.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Despite these difficulties, the Corps played a key role in defeating &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superboy-Prime" title="Superboy-Prime"&gt;Superboy-Prime&lt;/a&gt;. Several Lanterns were killed slowing the renegade Superboy's advance on Oa, a sacrifice that enabled Earth's most powerful heroes to execute their plan to restrain him. &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mogo" title="Mogo"&gt;Mogo&lt;/a&gt;, the sentient planet and Corps member, positioned himself to act as a final battleground between Superboy-Prime and the two Supermen. The Corps took responsibility for imprisoning Superboy-Prime, incarcerating him inside a small red &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun-Eater" title="Sun-Eater"&gt;Sun-Eater&lt;/a&gt; with fifty Green Lanterns on constant guard duty. "Prime Duty" is considered one of the lowlier functions of the Corps, and Guy Gardner was sentenced to a month of such duty for one of his frequent rules infractions.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;As of the "&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One_Year_Later" title="One Year Later"&gt;One Year Later&lt;/a&gt;" timeframe, the Green Lantern Corps has increased its numbers, with many former trainees now full-fledged officers. The lack of truly experienced GLs remains an issue, with Guy Gardner being called upon often to assist the rookies. The transformation of &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kyle_Rayner" title="Kyle Rayner"&gt;Kyle Rayner&lt;/a&gt; to &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kyle_Rayner" title="Kyle Rayner"&gt;Ion&lt;/a&gt; also holds unknown ramifications for the future of the Corps.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;h2&gt;&lt;a name="Structure"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="mw-headline"&gt; Structure&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;  &lt;h3&gt;&lt;a name="The_3600_sectors"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="mw-headline"&gt;The 3600 sectors&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;  &lt;p&gt;The Corps is an organization of 7200 Green Lanterns (the old Corps had 3600) who are chosen by the ring for being able to overcome great fear, with two assigned to sectors of space that require the protection of more than one Green Lantern (Earth, home to &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hal_Jordan" title="Hal Jordan"&gt;Hal Jordan&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Stewart_%28comics%29" title="John Stewart (comics)"&gt;John Stewart&lt;/a&gt;, is in Sector 2814). Heavily-populated Sectors like 2814 can have several Lanterns. While the primary Lanterns of Sector 2814 are Hal Jordan and John Stewart, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kyle_Rayner" title="Kyle Rayner"&gt;Kyle Rayner&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guy_Gardner_%28comics%29" title="Guy Gardner (comics)"&gt;Guy Gardner&lt;/a&gt; call Earth home, but are stationed on Oa, first as teachers, and then specially assigned to cases that are too difficult for the average GL.&lt;/p&gt;      &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Ic7.png" title="Enlarge"&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration: none;"&gt;&lt;!--[if gte vml 1]&gt;&lt;v:shape id="_x0000_i1028" type="#_x0000_t75" alt="The Green Lantern Corps fighting Superboy-Prime, with the two Supermen, Power Girl, and the Martian Manhunter.

The individual Lanterns are responsible for arranging their replacements if they are near retirement or death. If the Lantern dies before that obligation is met, the ring will find and seek another to be trained on its own. In rare circumstances, Guardians will personally go out into the field to recruit a replacement.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Upon recruitment each Green Lantern in the original corps received a power ring, a power battery shaped like a lantern (with which the ring is recharged), and a uniform. The default uniform design for humanoids was a green section covering the torso and shoulders, black arms and leggings, green boots, white gloves, green &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domino_mask" title="Domino mask"&gt;domino mask&lt;/a&gt; and a chest symbol of a stylized Green Lantern icon on a white circle. Lanterns were allowed to customize their uniforms as long as the color scheme and the symbol were present. When the nature of the being precludes a standard uniform, an equivalent arrangement is expected as a substitute. For instance, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mogo" title="Mogo"&gt;Mogo&lt;/a&gt;, a sentient planet, arranges his foliage to create a green circling band and lantern symbol on his body. Jack T. Chance, a humanoid, refused to wear a uniform but conceded to wearing a badge on the lapel of his coat. Lanterns were also allowed the option of a &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secret_identity" title="Secret identity"&gt;secret identity&lt;/a&gt; as a security measure and it is implied that the Corps were instructed to honor that choice by taking care not to expose them. Training in the use of the ring was optional and appropriate facilities and personnel were available on Oa upon request. In addition, a senior Lantern can be assigned to coach a recruit while in the field in their sector.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;The New Green Lantern Corps being built by the Guardians is far more formal and structured than the old one that was destroyed by Parallax. Recruits, after being found by their power rings, are taken to Oa for training. Not all recruits will make it through training - indeed a great many of them might even fail, forcing the ring to find another Lantern. Lantern trainees have a simplified version of the old Green Lantern uniform (with green covering more of the torso) with the white circle on their chest blank, presumably until the Lantern insignia is added upon completion of their training. Additionally, all power rings, not just Kyle Rayner's ring, now work on the color yellow, provided the user can feel the fear behind the color and overcome it.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Upon recruitment, a Green Lantern is expected to uphold certain principles of his/her/its duty. These principles include:&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;ol start="1" type="1"&gt;&lt;li class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;Protection of life and      liberty with the assigned sector.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;Following the orders of the      Guardians without question.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;Noninterference with a      planet's culture, political structure or its population's collective will.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;Acting within local laws and      obey the local authority within reason. (Presumably, The Guardians' orders      can overrule this when necessary).&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;Taking no action against      anyone or anything until they are proven to be a threat against life and      liberty.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;Refusing to use the      equipment, resources or authority of The Corps for personal gain.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;Showing respect for and      cooperating with other members of the Corps and the Guardians.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;Showing respect for life      which includes restraint of force unless there is no reasonable      alternative.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;Giving top priority to the      greatest danger in the assigned sector.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;Upholding the honor of the      Corps.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;  &lt;p&gt;To enforce these principles, the Guardians closely monitor the activities of the Lanterns. If they feel a violation of Corps regulations occurred, they will summon the offender to Oa and hold a trial in which the charges are read and the Lantern is allowed to explain his/her/its actions. If the Guardians are not satisfied by the explanation, they have a number of disciplinary options which include:&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;ul type="disc"&gt;&lt;li class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;Probation&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;Personal supervision by the      Guardians on Oa&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;Temporary exile from the      Lantern's homeworld&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;Ritual Trial of Endurance - a      Lantern must attempt a dangerous passage through the Anti-Matter Universe.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;Expilsion from the Corps&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:78%;" &gt;Source:Wikipedia&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/477628898336501635-8709805104197691459?l=andi-supriyono.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://andi-supriyono.blogspot.com/feeds/8709805104197691459/comments/default' title='Poskan Komentar'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=477628898336501635&amp;postID=8709805104197691459&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Komentar'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/477628898336501635/posts/default/8709805104197691459'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/477628898336501635/posts/default/8709805104197691459'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://andi-supriyono.blogspot.com/2007/07/green-lantern-corp-amazing-concept-in.html' title='GREEN LANTERN CORP- Great Comics from DC Comics'/><author><name>FLASHPOINT</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18245446361661182113</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Dz_Jjmyi2Qo/RqyaOqqDFBI/AAAAAAAAAAU/zrXx22aX_ds/s72-c/GL+Corps.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-477628898336501635.post-9004957479635303205</id><published>2007-07-08T09:48:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-07-08T09:50:42.035-07:00</updated><title type='text'>BISAKAH SEORANG “KUPER” MEMBANGUN NETWORKING?</title><content type='html'>&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;"&gt;Apakah Anda orang yang kuper alias kurang pergaulan?.., jangan takut Anda tidak sendirian, banyak orang di luar &lt;/span&gt;&lt;st1:city&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;"&gt;sana&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:City&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;"&gt; yang merasa dirinya kuper…bahkan saya sendiri pun merasa diri sangat kuper…dan saya berusaha mengurangi rasa kuper itu sedikit demi sedikit dengan kiat-kiat sederhana yang saya jalankan berikut ini…so baca terus ya.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;"&gt;Untuk mendapatkan kesuksesan di jaman sekarang ini salah satu ketrampilan yang harus dimiliki seorang pebisnis atau eksekutif perusahaan adalah membangun jaringan atau networking. Networking bukan lagi sekedar ketrampilan yang &lt;i style=""&gt;“nice to have”&lt;/i&gt; (bagus untuk dimiliki) tetapi sekarang menjadi &lt;i style=""&gt;“necessary to have”&lt;/i&gt; (harus dimiliki). Networking bukan hanya dilakukan dengan pihak eksternal organisasi tetapi juga dengan internal organisasi…misalnya antara boss dengan karyawannya….antara manajer dengan staf nya….harus terbangun networking yang sempurna, bayangkan bila hubungan antara boss dan karyawannya tidak baik….sang boss yang wajahnya selalu jutek…karyawannya jadi ga semangat kerja deh…, tetapi bila sang boss pandai membangun networking dengan karyawannya, selalu tebar senyum…memberi dukungan pada karyawan yang bekerja dengan baik…membimbing karyawan yang bekerja kurang baik…maka si karyawan pasti betah kerja dengan boss seperti Anda…bahkan bila mereka tidak di gaji sekalipun…(hah..apa mungkin tuh?).&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;"&gt;Bahasa kerennya kuper adalah introver…lawannya adalah ekstrover alias seorang yang gaul banget. Orang yang ekstrover mendapatkan gairah hidup dari berinteraksi dengan banyak orang di sekitarnya, karakteristiknya adalah luwes dalam bergaul, senang berada di tengah pesta, dan bertemu dengan orang-orang baru, yang berpotensi mendukung keberhasilan pekerjaannya. Networking nampaknya sudah&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;menjadi hal yang alami bagi mereka. Bagaimana dengan si introver alias si kuper tadi?...Orang dengan tipe introver mendapatkan energi dari dalam dirinya sendiri. Mereka tidak suka bertemu dengan banyak orang, bila pun menghadiri pertemuan maka ia akan berinteraksi dengan hanya beberapa orang saja, juga lebih banyak sebagai pendengar. Bagi seorang kuper membangun networking memang membutuhkan waktu dan usaha, pertanyaannya adalah apakah karena karakterisktik seorang kuper menghalangi mereka dalam membangun networking dibandingkan dengan mereka yang ekstrover?..jawabannya : belum tentu!.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;"&gt;Kenyataannya adalah networking tidak selalu mudah..bahkan bagi seorang ekstrover sekali pun. Pada dasarnya networking adalah usaha membangun hubungan dengan orang lain, bisa dalam bentuk interaksi atau pertukaran informasi. Setiap orang harus punya &lt;/span&gt;&lt;st1:city&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;"&gt;gaya&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:City&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;"&gt; sendiri dan pendekatan networking yang khas, manjur dan sesuai dengan kepribadiannya,. Bagi si kuper, menjadi pendengar yang baik dan menunjukkan kesediaan untuk membantu orang lain, bisa jadi merupakan modal utama baginya. Esensi dari networking bukan sekedar “gaul” aja atau “luwes” aja, tapi membangun kepercayaan dan hubungan yang bermakna dan mendukung kesuksesan pekerjaan atau bisnisnya.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;"&gt;Kiat-kiat agar si introver dapat mengembangkan &lt;/span&gt;&lt;st1:city&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;"&gt;gaya&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:City&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;"&gt; dan pendekatan khas untuk menjadi networker canggih adalah sebagai berikut :&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b style=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;"&gt;1.Eksplorasi Kelebihan, Temukan Keunggulan.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;"&gt;Gali kelebihan yang dapat digunakan untuk mengembangkan hubungan dengan orang lain.

Banyak sekali orang tidak kenal restoran yang paling asik. Banyak sekali orang yang beruntung diperkenalkan pada rekanan bisnis baru. Nomor-nomor telepon penting sering tidak dipunyai orang lain. Semua itu bisa menjadi materi &lt;i style=""&gt;sharing&lt;/i&gt; yang menarik dan menguntungkan semua pihak. Dengan membiasakan semua ini maka tolong menolong terjadi secara wajar dan otomatis.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;"&gt;Membangun networking merupakan alat untuk membangun hubungan jangka panjang. Siapapun dapat melakukannya, dan banyak alternatif untuk mewujudkannya, sesuai dengan karakteristik pribadi masing-masing.
