Promising start to the next big event
Green Lantern #53
THE GOOD:
- The one page of Saint Walker going through the cematary grave by grave to eulogize the desecrated dead was a simple and elegant way of showing what the Blue Lanterns are all about.
- Hal and Carol rekindling their relationship. Long overdo.
- The opening scene was a very effective way of building suspense. The mysterious Guardian already appears like a formidable enemy.
- This was another quick read. With the exception of the Saint Walker scene, this is another issue where much of the dialogue fails to deliver more then a superficial understanding of the characters. Johns continues to ignore years of Hal's characterization to portray him as a wooden "Top Gun" wannabe.
