I grew up on the Silver Age comics, including Green Lantern (Hal Jordan). If you know the characters, this is a must have volume in the ongoing saga. If you don't already know the characters, get to know them first with other books in the series -- but keep this one on your list for later!

This book is This book is the origin of the second Earth Green Lantern named Hal Jordon. I never really payed attention to his character, Kyle Raynor has always been my favorite GL and I always though that Jordon lacked character. He's always been the perfect, fearless, leader with a few exceptions. But this book tries to change all of that. We learn what drives Hal, we see his dad die before his very eyes, we see him roll a jeep with his friends in it while driving a little less than sober, and ... Read More

This was a mini-series that was released before the first issue of the current Green Lantern series was released in 1990. It is a retelling and a slight reworking of Hal Jordan's (the Silver Age Green Lantern) origin. The art and colors are excellent. The Hal in this book is slightly different from the Hal in the 1970s and 1980s.

I just read Emerald Dawn several days back. Never got to read the original story when it was published in 1989-90. Over the years I have heard many people saying that this was a lousy series and that Hal Jordan (Green Lantern) is grossly out-of-character and a destructive alcoholic. Untrue. I think most people who dislike this series are people who love the original Broome and Kane GL stories from the late 1950s and 1960s. In other words, these other reviewers are too bound by their loyalty to their ... Read More

In an effort to try to figure out what to do with a character so willful, strong and noble, DC decided to retell his origin. Concentrating mostly on family and the inner demons Hal carries, they manage to take a "hero" and make him a human with a ring. No wonder some people didn't like it. Heroes should be simple and straightforward, right? Maybe. But humans are much more interesting. I'm a big Hal fan, even when he was silly in the old days, and I really liked this retelling.
