Green Lantern

I got this mostly to see how the story ended. I was not particularly thrilled by the first one, and this was not that much better. It was not bad. Just not great either. A very convoluted plot, a lot of overloaded panels at times that, while nicely drawn, were just a bit visually overwhelming. Big fans of Green Lantern will probably enjoy this. More casual comics readers like me may consider it optional reading. With the new film out, it may or not get you in the mood for the film. Overall, this is one to just borrow from the library if you can. Not a buy.

I did not give this two stars because it was bad. It was not. However, if you have not followed the Green Lantern titles for a while, you may get a little lost. This is a very convoluted tale where keeping track of some of the characters at times may not be easy. Having said that, it was a pretty fast paced read as the Green Lantern Corps has to fight the menace posed by Sinestro and his own yellow corps based on fear. As this is only part one of the series, I will likely go find the second part, just to see how it ends. But overall, keeping my expectations on the low side. It was neat, but not great. For a casual reader like me, in the end, it was just ok.

Then again, there are other DC titles I like better.
