The Origin Retold
Can Geoff Jonhs not write an amazing comic? And can Ivan Reis not draw an amazing comic?
The answer, is a resounding no, and if you don't believe me, read Green Lantern.
As you may know, Johns and Reis are in the middle of an arc that retells the origin of Hal Jordan.
Now, usually a retelling of a character as old a Jordan is a little disinteresting to me, but not this time.
Instead of merely re-hashing the already-known just to fill a few issues, Jordan's origin is being
turned into a fully fleshed out epic. It takes the story, adds tons of background, and, yet simplifies
it. Along with that, it plants seeds for the upcoming, "Blackest Night", and adds layers to Abin Sur,
Atrocitus, and Sector 666.
Yet again Johns and Reis prove that they don't half-ass a story. It's epic or nothing, and I love it.
