My first exposure to Kyle Rayner was while reading Connor Hawke’s time as Green Arrow in the late 1990s. I wanted to read more of him and this collection made that super convenient. It gives a nice overview of what happened to Hal Jordan prior to Kyle getting the ring, and it’s also a great introduction to Kyle.
I’m not the biggest fan of Green Lantern so it was hard to get into the story at first. However, Kyle is such a charming character that it didn’t take long for me to love him. A superhero who’s an artist, wears cool leather jackets and lives in Greenwich Village? I never realized it was everything I could have wanted.
Another thing that pleasantly surprised me was Darryl Banks’ art. Kyle looked great; he had cool hair and great style. So many 90s comics have extremely cringey artwork that makes it hard to read due to the second hand embarrassment.
Overall, it was a great read that makes me excited to get the second volume when it is released in March.
