Geoff Johns is a writer that makes you want to call every writer that has ever written these characters before and say why haven't you written that exact scene. There was a series were Flash and Green Lantern teamed up every month and they never spoke so true and so much like the characters they have been for over 40 years. Why has Flash never said these things to Green Lantern. Why has Green Lantern never wondered why Flash doesn't rush into things like he does Both characters have come back from death with completly different views, and it seems death has different view of them.
I love this series move than every other major event because it's so personal. Characters are facing their past, present, and future and are afraid of what this really means.
If you look at the emotions that each ring represents you can easily say these are the emotions one would feel when faced with lost loved ones and comrades. The love, the fear, the hope are inherent in the loss of loved ones. These characters have had the luck of being surrounded by these very same people during every other crisis and are now being destroyed by these very same people. The hate being spilled by the Black Lanterns is venemous and beyond harsh. Elastic Man talking to The Atom is beyond evil. You can imagine Geoff Johns having to stop every once in awhile and just thinking, "oh god what am I doing."
Few writers could write the openning scene between Gen and Jason, then write her finale. I have never read a single story of this character, yet I was crushed by their end. You can't help but feel emotional reading this comic. I doubt anyone is reading this book on the bus ride home, you have to wait til your home and away from strangers who could see you cry over cartoon heroes.
If I can think of a fualt in this book is that Hawk Girl seems out of character talking about how hot she gets when Hawkman is violent. It's small but it takes me out of the story.
The Indigo ring scene was exposition 101, and it worked in revealing alot while leaving a lot left to be told. I would compare them to Desmond on Lost. Why they are the only ring that knows all this and if their leader has some secret connection to Green Lantern like all other Lantern seem to have are still out there. It's a fun problem to have, to many cool ideas.
A always I never have enough to say about the art, Ivan Reis I don't think will become the mega artist that these events some times propigate. There is no question this is my favorite BIG EVENT of all time. 100%.
Art: 5 - Excellent
