3.5. How does this Hal Jordan feel so different from the Justice League Hal Jordan when they're written by the same author?

Geoff Johns has turned what used to be a literal moustache twirling villain into a complex anti-hero. Sinestro is a flawed sometimes sadistic man who wants to protect innocents at all costs although at first that ment harsh authoritarianism. Though he tries to hide it he and Hal have many of the same faults and doubts, Hal however by the end has moved past these and no longer wants to be a lantern. This book shows the flawed and sometimes sadistic nature of law enforcement, comparing the semi-fascist yellow lanterns with the more familiar police structure employed by the unfeeling guardians showing they are no different from each other.

Wow, it is crazy how much I enjoy these. I do wish it was longer. I'll have to try and find an omnibus so I can get a more complete story.

I got a cheap lot of Green Lantern books from Shopgoodwill. This was one of the books.
Overall, I dug it. Ivan Reiss draws a great Green Lantern. Sinestro in the driver seat made for an interesting story, especially with Hal Jordan and a shitty ring doing his bidding. I still maintain that the various color Lantern Corps dilute the Green Lantern property though and I'm not really on board with whatever this third army business is. Lastly, ever since Nibble on Futurama first spoke, I can't imagine the Guardians of the Universe sounding any other way. Three out of five stars.

I didn't know much about Sinestro before. I suppose I still don't, but I kind of enjoyed him as a character. Pretty good. I'd read more of them.

Not my favorite Green Lantern story, but a better tale in the new 52

The 'new 52' Green Lantern focuses in on Sinestro for its first volume, and this left me a bit flat. I just don't know a lot of Sinestro's history so it was hard to see how much his character is shifting, or understand all of his relationship with Hal Jordan. That being said, the events of the story, Sinestro creating a ring for Hal Jordan, saving his homeworld from his corrupted Sinestro Corp, is all very exciting and I will continue to follow it to see where it goes.

This is the first Green Lantern book I've ever read. I really enjoyed it and I'm glad I took a chance on it!

Because my favorite DC superhero is Green Lantern and i'm collecting New-52 series, this oughta be good. Which it was.
