Those Who Worship Evil's Might...
Let me see if I've got this right - the most dreaded villain in the DCU is back - The Multiverse!
The Anti-Monitor is back. The Monitor, Bob to all his super-hero pals (be sure to check out his ComicVine page!), and Superboy-Prime are back, too.
That means that Green Lantern Alan Scott - along with Jay, Carter, Ted and the Justice Society of America are back on Earth-2. Green Lanterns Hal Jordan, Guy Gardner and John Stewart are back on Earth-1. Green Lantern Kyle Raynor, formerly Ion - and formerly posessed by Parallax - is from some other Earth entirely, along with other heroes that made their debut around the same time as he did.
Hey, look, is that Superboy-Prime now a member of the Sinestro Corps? Now instead of actually ripping your arm off, he can use the ring to create a giant yellow hand to rip your arm off.
There's a lot going on around town these days! Not only is the Sinestro Corps War underway, but the Countdown to Final Crisis, and the Search for Ray Palmer and the Death of the New Gods.
I never engaged in the "I Hate Kyle Raynor campaign", mainly because that would have been like all of the Alan Scott fans ganging up on Hal Jordan. Times change and new heroes rise up to greet new challenges. I am glad that Geoff Johns had breathed new life into Hal Jordan as Green Lantern. This is his finest and Brightest Day. In the days when I had to walk uphill both ways to school Hal was not a very interesting character. But, boy he sure is now!!
Green Lantern is now a must-read for me. Even the whole Sinestro Corps story-line is exciting.
I was riveted by Hal rescuing Kyle from Parallax.
I wonder now what will happen when the Sinestro Corp War is over, when the Search for Ray Palmer ends and the Final Crisis is resolved.
Will Alan Scott and the Justice Society return to Earth-2? Will Kyle Return to his Earth with his companion heroes? Why does Earth-1 still have three full-time Green Lanterns. I know that Guy and John have been training on OA, right? They are still full-time Lanterns. Not reservists or replacement or fill-ins.
I hope to see more of Hal's family. The struggle and conflict that his brother is going through is interesting. I'm nostalgic, so I'd like to see more of Carol and Tom. And the pilots at Edwards'.
I think this is the Green Lantern that should make it to the silver screen one day.
