What else can I say about this fantastic origin run? Seriously this is part six, and I've at least reviewed four already for this site. Everything about this origin arc is everything that an origin should be. It should have no stupid, long winded speeches on how people get their powers or why they help people. This origin is just showing Jordan getting his ring, to some training, to being the lacky for Sinestro. There, is it so hard to write such a perfect origin now?
Well what else I love about this arc is that the art is fantastic. The pencils are smooth and detailed. Hell most of this issue takes place during a storm and the detail of the water is fantastic. The faces look good and there really isnt much different from this to the Sinestro Corps war. Another great panel is when Jordan uses his ring to remember his father, god the time it took to make all of those green particles must've took forever.
Overall this is going to look so good in trade, it's something I will be waiting for just as much as Blackest Night. Trust me on this, Blackest Night is going to be the most anticipated event I've been looking forward to ever in comics. I hope Reis is the artist on that cause I at least need to be sure the art will look great for it. Even if you dont want the trade, get the other 5 issues for this! Your missing out on such a classic run right now.
Oh and moment for the week was in this book:
Hal Jordan: **** you.
Sinestro's ring: Unable to translate :)
Art: 5 - Excellent
Not hard to write a perfect origin if you’re Geoff Johns it seems. I only complain about this book because I’m so anxious to get into Blackest Night. But truth is, I’ll enjoy it even more after this arc. I f’n adore the portrayal of Sinestro here. This is how I’ve always felt about him: yes, he’s an asshole, but he means well. Just makes me wanna go back and read those discussions between him and Hal in the Oa prison again.
You think there’s any chance that Hal and Sinestro will find themselves fighting together against the new Lantern factions during Blackest Night? I do.
@Face: Well it certainly seems like that could happen. I cant remember where I heard it but the rumor is that the Green Lanterns and Sinestro Corp members will have to team up in order to fight everyone else….So if that does happen it would be interesting to see Sinestro and Jordan team up again. Could make for some good tense moments…
Nice review. I agree completely. This arc is Johns at his best: slicing and dicing an origin to squeeze it into the current uber-arc of the series. Very enjoyable.
I really loved Sinestro’s line about how the Green Lanterns always know how to deal with fear, but still struggle with guilt, loss, and anger. So poignant, so great. This was an excellent issue.
