    Now Things Are Rolling

    Summary:

       Since hearing the Collectors voice, Hector Hammond is finally free and is ready to deliver the revenge he's been waiting for. Also Hal travels to North Branch, Minnesota to talk to Larfleeze where has made a home for himself.
     

    The Good:

       To me this was the best issue we've seen in months. I don't know if it's the hype after the Con but this was on the ball. First was the opener which has been a mystery for months and is finally shown. We still don't know who "The Collector" is but is promising never the less. Then we're taken to North Branch, Minnesota where Larfleeze has been making a name for himself all over town taking peoples stuff. That's what makes him such a lovable character. Finally we get some images (or previews) of the other entities and what is to come from them. Plus Saint Walker proves hope is still out there.
     

    The Bad:

       Issue was great all around.
     

    Vote:

       After a few months of what felt like fillers has come to rest as now things start to get rolling.

      Review: Green Lantern #56 0

      Green Lantern tracks Agent Orange down to a dump he's erected, only to find that Hector Hammond's got his eyes on the Orange Lantern himself.  The Good I'm surprised at how much pathos and depth that Johns was able to convey from such an absurd character like Hector Hammond. Maybe you never quite sympathize with this monster, but you certainly can see where he's coming from (and maybe even feel sorry for him.) The opening fantasy with him saving Carol Ferris and vanqu...
