I have always had something of a soft-spot for GL:NG, as its been sufficiently distanced from the main GL title to tell an interesting story. Kyle is a very different Lantern to Hal, and his White Lantern status only confirms that. Thank goodness Geoff Johns saw fit to introduce some genuinely New Guardians in the last arc for this series to continue!
The story's OK - the 'space shark' metaphor is so bleeding obvious it even gets a mention in the dialogue and the quest to find what looks like a bloated ovary on the edge of the universe isn't anything we haven't seen before. The main bad guy being called Exeter made me chuckle and I look forward to the debut of more villains named after English county towns. ("Beware the coming of...IPSWICH!" "Who can stand before the power of... SHREWSBURY?!")
Brad Walker's art is pretty good, better in the space scenes.
A fair start to the new regime.
[As an aside, this is my POTW by default - thanks largely to DC's cancellations my pull list this week was one single book. I've been buying DC comics for over 20 years. Something is going seriously wrong with the New 52 concept, guys!]
