Product Description:
Hal Jordan, one of the greatest Green Lantern's to ever wield a Power Ring, is revisited through the eyes of his mechanic and confidant Tom Kalmaku. As he reminisces about the career of Green Lantern from the early acts of heroism to his tragic downfall and finally his eventual sacrificial redemption, Tom is entrusted with Hal's greatest legacy, a young boy claiming to be the fallen hero's son. Interweaving classic action sequences with the personal reactions of Hal's closest friends and loved ones, the true impact and emotion of this tragic hero is felt in this poignant testament to one of the most classic characters in the DC Universe.

Perhaps one of the most splendidly written graphic novels of a few years ago, this book tells the story of the rise and fall of a person and how one person and their will can make a difference. It is about innocence and honor staring down into the shadows of one's past and reconciling that which is true by that which is ideal. This story gets more and more emotionally driven until its end.
This is one of those stories that really shines a light on people and hope. 5 stars.

I suppose at this point I have to accept the fact that these graphic novels are sort of side stories that help give the character new ground to cover. I enjoyed the family insight with this particular story. The artwork again is great; Brent is able to capture ... Read More
