This arc has been my first exposure to R.E.B.E.L.S. and I’ve enjoyed every minute of it. I’m still not completely certainly what that acronym stands for, or who this series is about, but so far what I’ve read has been a fun tale focusing on Adam Strange, John Stewart and two Green Lanterns with little-to-no skill or intellect. Tony Bedard isn’t my favourite writer by any stretch of the imagination, but here he’s penned a story that engages and manages to hold interest for the whole arc. There was a sub-plot here that caught my eye, too, involving the return of a sinister villain who’s been around for as long as there have been DC comic book team-ups. I’ve never seen any art by Claude St. Aubin, but it’s a decent style that captures the right mood throughout. This is definitely a series I’ll be checking out more thanks to this arc; hopefully the next will be just as good.
