Venditti knows what he's doing - no doubt the book will be great.

I'm excited that this book isn't just Hal. I can't wait for this, a little hesitant about Sinestro taking a big part in this book, wasn't too head over heels with his depiction in Godhead, but hopefully I'm worrying for nothing.

I'm looking forward to this and I'm very glad Kyle and Guy where confirmed to appear. Venditti gets a lot flak but I think the core concepts of his stories are solid. He just has a problem with dragging out arcs. That may be because of the copious amounts of crossovers New 52 GL had so hopefully this book won't suffer from that.

I do hope that Sinestro doesn't end up dying or anything in this arc. To me, Sinestro is as significant to GL as Joker is to Batman. Also, they better not kill off Soranik or Arkillo either!

I also really like Relic, he fits into the mythos so well you'd think he's been around for decades.

Pretty much how I feel, he gets Hal as a character and he's been delivering some pretty good stories. Renegade Hal was one of the few DCYou books I really liked.

One complaint I have had, is while I've enjoyed the stories thus far, it seems like every story has just been to see how miserable they can make Hal, but now with the Corps. and his status as GL restored, it seems that's about to change.

I agree. Hopefully Hal can have a little happiness in his life.

I like Venditti on X-O Manowar and Wrath of the Eternal Warrior for Valiant Comics. But his GL and Flash have been lackluster in my opinion. While he does have good concepts (Hal as the head of the GL Corps or future, immoral Barry going back in time to right a wrong) and good character development, his resolutions to story arcs and final battles for said arcs are very lackluster and anti-climactic. This last GL story where he had a good resolution to the story arc was the finale of Godhead, which was quite some time ago.
