Despite the fact that Aquaman, Flash, Batman (of course), the Justice League and more recently Earth 2 have all been solid books; iFanboy continues to dismiss the New 52. In my opinion, Green Lantern has been terrific as well and #9 has been more perfect evidence of this. Mahnke's art is super-sharp and, for my money, the story has been top notch.
The big reveal as to why the Indigo Tribe was created was interesting and fun and this book had what I consider to be the two best panels of the week: an Indigo-indoctrinated Sinestro apologizing to Hal for "everything [he] has ever done" and the last page, after the Indigo central battery has been shut off, we see the Indigo Tribe as their true selves - a group of thugs, killers, and overall bad dudes, looking both confused and menacing as Hal and Sinestro have an "oh shit" moment.
I can't wait to see how this book wraps up and I really hope the podcast team gets on board with how great this book is.
Story: 4 - Very Good
Art: 5 - Excellent

Agreed, especially your first statement. The pick of the week podcasts are always a little dissapointing to me because they hardly ever talk about the books I read that week. Eh, different strokes for different folks.
Just this past week they talked about 5 or 6 DC books and liked most of them. I think your bias for DC is showing through a little.
@HossBonaventure: That first statement is laughably untrue. What it translates to is “They don’t like the same books I do, more specifically: this one.” Ron and I tried GREEN LANTERN. We gave it a chance. I read it for probably six months. After a promising start it devolved into more of what I didn’t like about it before the New 52.
@SirSully: Last week was the first time in nine months we didn’t talk about ANIMAL MAN and SWAMP THING. That’s doesn’t mean we dislike them. If you only pull two books chances are higher we might not talk about the books you read. As it is, we don’t talk about half the books I read every week.
Green Lantern and the assorted titles are my favorite family of books but they really are an acquired taste. They are reminiscent of the Xmen with its deep bench of characters and its super convoluted back stories. In that same sense, I like Xmen but I can’t appreciate some references as much as someone like Ron might with his huge repository of X-history.
I appreciate this complexity but I think it makes total sense for new readers to be turned off. Different strokes for different folks.
