razzatazz's Green Lantern #33 - Secret Origin, Part 5 review

Not my boyfriend

After the last issue which was less about tying Hal's origin into the modern flow of comics, this one again sort of rewrites the past with some new information about why Sinestro and Hal at one time were close friends and what Abin Sur was doing on Earth in the first place.  The first part of the issue deals with Hammond who is still attacking Carol and Hal, until Sinestro intervenes (and intervenes quickly).  The two Green Lanterns then head off to discover the remains of Sur's ship and discover what he was doing on Earth.  there is also a story brewing about the origin of the Black Hand.  Despite being a bit more pertinent, this issue seemed to lack a little bit of the same polish which got this story arc to where it is.  Still pretty good though.

Un-motivated action I would define as gra...

This relationship puts chills on a reader—while at the same time brings sympathy toward Sinestro. Leading to the question of whether Sinestro was a mad man, or a visionary. While this back ground story doesn't justify his evil response nor his shady techniques—it makes you wonder…"does he truly have a moral agenda that matches my own?" In this book, we see the message from Abin Sur. The...
