Green Lantern #3

Once again, loved it. I'm continuing to enjoy the interaction of Hal and Sinestro.

I now have a theory about that last page. I think Hal was transported to Qward.

Well, out with it!!!

[jaydee74]

I did. My theory is in white text but I'll say it anyway since it's only a theory. I think that Hal was transported to Qward. The way Hal disintegrated on the last page reminded me of how Sinestro disintegrated at the end of Green lantern: Rebirth when he escaped to Qward so that's my guess.

Oh yeah now that you point it out I can see the text.

I think that's a great theory!

[jaydee74]

Well, we know he's not dead so that to me would make the most sense. Also, it would be pretty awesome.

To comment on the respect thing, I think Hal moreso might miss that relationship with Sinestro. At the moment, he definitely hates him and his actions, but there's a part of Hal that can't cut Sinestro out of his life because of their past friendship.

I like that theory a lot.

Issue #3 was great. I can't wait to see Hal's fate.

Green Lantern #4
Well, I called it. Great stuff. I loved that when Hall's energy was running out and he wanted to see one more thing before he was on empty, what he decides to make. Loved it. I loved the interaction between Sinestro and his people. It was the most emotional moment I think I have ever seen from Sinestro and it was amazing. The last page? Incredible. Loved this and I got the incentive cover which is beautiful.

#4 was okay. Y'know, I'm starting to think Geoff has an even bigger man-crush on Sinestro than he does on Hal.

[jaydee74]

I was thinking the same thing. This has been a pretty great Sinestro story though.

[comicgeekelly]

4 was good, but it read a little too quickly.

[jaydee74]

I always feel that way with this book.

Agreed. I've really enjoyed the fact that the series has really focused more on Sinestro so far. It seems like this may be a redemption story of sorts, and we really haven't seen that angle for him yet.

I tend to think this is a redemption story also which actually annoys me a bit (not saying it's badly written - just that it would be my emotional reaction to it if that's where it goes). I know it's only comics but someone who has killed people like Sinestro doesn't deserve redemption (it's only comics, yes, but this actually happens in real life - maybe not the "redemption" bit but certainly different world leaders' pasts are ignored or conveniently forgotten about at times) and I like that the people of Korugar are very unlikely to give him that. However I suspect that Sinestro will screw this chance at redemption up anyway with his arrogance.

I love Doug Mahnke's art at the best of times but whenever there's an issue that his art is combined with dark colours like this one I think it just looks brilliant.

I liked issue #4, but it was a really quick read. It felt super short.

No, I agree, Sinestro shouldn't become a hero again. And like you said, I don't think he will because he'll either screw it up or just realize he's too far past redemption. But it's cool to at least that inner conflict for awhile.

I do love that he's a multi-dimensional character - he's capable of regret. And I love a villain that doesn't see themselves that way - that's the best kind.

[jaydee74]

Sinestro is one of most multi-dimensional characters in the DC Universe right now and it has a lot to do with the way Geoff Johns writes the character. I kind of hope he continues on this road because it's an amazing and interesting concept and I'm really enjoying it.

Indeed. Everybody is the hero of their own story. Magneto, Lex Luthor, Doctor Doom, Norman Osborn are some that come to mind. They believe their ideology is the best and only way to go, and will force it on others.

[jaydee74]

Those characters are always very interesting.

Green Lantern #5
Great ending to this story. Loved the outcome and once again, Sinestro screws over Hal. Still, I liked where Hal ends up by the time this issue is done and then we get the final scene with the Guardians and I'm curious as to what is going to happen next. Loving this.

[rwe1138]

#5 was okay. Mahnke's pencils seemed a little "off" to me, though. I dunno, maybe it's just me.

Agreed. I enjoyed the reactions of the townspeople as well during and after the conflict. I wonder if the next arc will have Sinestro hunting down the remainder of his Corps.

Anyone remember who the first GL was? Is Johns picking up an old forgotten thread again, or is this a new twist?

I agree, maybe he was rushed to meet the deadline?
