Yes I did, and yes it was.

An unqualified success, so rare in modern superhero comics -- all the more reason to treasure it.

It was pretty WOW. And it is set up for tons of more stories. I really liked it. One of the better comics I have read in a while.


I just can't BLOK it out!

I can't wait to read this.

Geoff Johns has a good interview about it and the GL future!

Love, love, LOVED it! Just wish Gibbons was still writing GL:C. But still. Brilliant all around.

KYLE I LOVE YOU!

*cough* I mean, good times. Great story. Beautiful art. And excitement for the future!

As do I. I think he's currently the most underrated writer in superhero comics, with a true flair for space opera, and I still hope that one day he'll write LSH (maybe sooner rather than later if Shooter tanks.) Not only do I love his GL:C work, but, going against the grain as I usually do, I really loved The Rann-Thanagar War (the main complaint, Shiera being killed by Kommand'r, didn't bother me because I have no emotional investment in any of the hawk-people; that said, Jade's death initially bothered me a lot, but I got over it.)

There was a lot to like,(most notably just the higher profile for GL) but I ultimately felt let down. It was 11 issues plus specials and the story wasn't more complicated than "bad guys attack, everyone fights, bad guys lose".

I read GL for Hal and that was a letdown as well. I get that the Coast City thing was meant to be the emotional payoff for his arc, but when Ganthet said he needed to step up, I thought he'd up end doing something more inspiring than telling the people of Coast City to run for the hills (Maybe I'm spoiled by memories of Hal leading the corps to victory on many occassions). Also, I think I've seen one too many "Hal fights Sinestro mano a mano, sans rings". It's overdone now. I wanna see Hal do some ringslinging.

I loved it. I think it's the best GL story I ever read. The story and art rocked. Geoff has really added to the GL mythos.

I also didn't care for hand to hand fight either. And while I think Geoff has added much to the mythos I'm not a big fan of the emotional color spectrum Rainbow Bright stuff. It works and people love it. I just don't. Still think it's good for the mythos overall.

I love the spectrum. It reminds me of Alan Moore's expansion of the concept of Swamp Thing.

The latest issue is mostly set-up. I was sort of relieved to see that Lyssa Drak hasn't been forgotten...but she's on death row (that's her in the cell on top of Sinestro's cell) and I hope she doesn't become cannon fodder.

On the plus side, it's always nice to see Mike McKone art (especially at the service of a good script) and the powerful cliffhanger ending reminded me of the ending of one of my favorite Avengers issues, where Sersi took the idea of avenging all too literally.

I wonder how death row works - is there some kind of judicial system? Why not summary executions? I'm flashing back to the first time Sinestro was "executed" - things didn't go well then...

Interesting teases about Sinestro's past as Hal's trainer. I know we're going to be delving even more into that later, but the hints here are intriguing -- especially Sinestro's friendship with Abin Sur.

So now John used to be a marine?!?! I wonder where that came from... grumble, grumble...

Is anyone else getting annoyed and grossed out with all this Alpha Lanterns crap?

@#$@$&(^&*^*&^@#@# Grant Morrison, he should keep his stupid ideas away from Geoff. I hate Morrison, his writing reminds me of Mark Gruenwald minus the flashes of fanboy wistfulness.

Geoff seems to be more impressionable than I figured -- he did a recent interview where he professed his admiration for Brian Michael Brainless and said he hopes they can collaborate one day. puke

On the other hand, since I prefer the MU to the DCU, I'd be very happy if DC lured Brainless away from Marvel.

I agree the Alpha Lanterns are a bit extreme and I don't really care for the idea overall.

But I don't hate it. The Corps needs some diversity in rank, etc. It's interesting. I am guessing they won't last very long either.

I'm interested in BMB writing DD and that's all at Marvel. Infact his DD is not worth all the damage he's inflicted at Marvel. Go indy man!

I must admit I haven't read all through this thread -not having read a Green Lantern story in a long time, but someone handed me a copy of the Green Lantern Rebirth TPB recently and I had to write something about it because it was easily the worst piece of crap I've read in a long time. I mean the plot was relatively convoluted but not horrible. However, the dialog was unforgivable. Seriously, real people don't talk like that, it was like reading a mid-seventies issue of the Justice League, one would think DC had a quota on how many times a character's name should be mentioned on every page like the reader would forget once they turned the page. Then there's the obtuse explanations of why whatever is happening I guess I just want that hour and a half I spent reading it back. It's weird because I'm rather enjoying Geoff John's current run in Action, I don't think it's great but it's sure keeping my attention more than the regular Legion book right now. I didn't really pay attention to when this rebirth was published, maybe he was just starting out or something because it reads as if it was penned by a 16 year old fanboy. Maybe he just has no affinity for the Green Lantern, I don't know, but damn it was bad. As for the art, I suppose Van Scriver is okay, he sure does pay attention to detail but detail isn't everything. His people seems so posed and stiff. His panels jump around a lot making the story a bit hard to follow -for all that's worth. I guess you can chalk this one up to another example of style over substance. I had hear this was a really popular run, I just can't figure out why.

What's this about James Robinson writing a new "Green Lantern/ Green Arrow" book? All's I knows is that it's happening, but little else. Is there any chance it's not Hal and Ollie?? I'd be super-bummed if it weren't.

Heh.

You seem rather desperate to derail this thread, Gerard. It won't work. tongue

Those images are not showing up in my computer. I assume that some Frank Miller-verse version of Green Lantern appears in the current ASB&R issue. That didn't occur to me until it was too late. Sorry about that, Gerard, I was just kidding around.

But it does beg the question: why should we care about how Frank Miller sees Green Lantern? The guy has devolved from an overrated superstar creator to a pathetic Dave Sim-level drooling crypto-fascist lunatic.

I think I'll stick with the way Hal was depicted in DKSAII - that was cool. At least with this series Miller's making all the heroes (Batman included) seem so wildly out of character, it doesn't matter that GL is treated shabbily.

And the Lanterns splinter even further...

This issue was better than the last couple of them. I'm really starting to like Laira, she could make a really good anti-heroine if Johns does it right. McKone's art is good as always.

I forgot to mention last night that the Controllers appear in the current issue of GL, albeit in the 21st Century. Still, I thought the AR Legion fans might be interested.
