Green Lantern: Baptism of Fire by Ron Marz is the story of the start of Kyle Rayner's adventures as Green Lantern, and the mistakes he makes.

Each chapter if filled with tension and you quickly catch on that there is more to this band of former prisoners than meets the eye. I was impressed to say the ... Read More

Because I already read probably about two-thirds of the CrossGen line, I was planning to skip "The Negation" when it came out. (Not because the CrossGen books weren't good, but just the opposite! I couldn't afford any more!) The clerk at my comic shop dropped the Prequel issue into my reserved folder by mistake, and I decided to pick it up anyway -- and got immediately hooked.
Although each CrossGen comic series stands on its own, they do take place in a shared universe with clues as to ... Read More
