The first half was decent, and the only reason I gave it the stars that I did. It was a nothing-special Green Lantern story, worth reading at the library if you've nothing else to do. The art was really what helped the book along here.
To say the second half was disappointing would be an understatement. Quite honestly, it was simply a poor comic book. I understand the author's purpose here - to give insight into Green Lantern's vulnerability and to comment on faults in our social ... Read More

Overall, I think the most poignant moment was when Kyle found out about the beating as his girlfriend came into the room with a phone crying. It may be paneled images, but the tension of the moment ... Read More

In 1994 Judd Winick (the writer of this comic series as represented in this graphic novel) was one of the featured cast on MTV's "Real World". He wrote a very moving (and much awarded) book called "Pedro and Me" based on his friendship with his HIV positive roommate on the show, Pedro Zemora.
Why is this relevant to this Green Lantern comic? Because Mr. Winick has a gift for taking the complex and making it accessible. For writing a comic book that deals with issues, but stays in the genre, and ... Read More
