Green Lantern, Volume 1: No Fear by Geoff Johns

4.0

I've never been really interested with Green Lantern, but my friend is, and so far, he hasn't let me down with his recommendations, which is why I gave this a go.

I was a bit traumatized when I watched the Green Lantern movie with Ryan Reynolds which was why I was a bit hesitant to read anything with that character.Surprisingly, it wasn't bad. I actually, kind of, like it, if only I understood what happened before the events of this. I wonder what happened and why everyone thinks he died. I wonder what it was he did that made him feel so guilty.

On this six part issue, i felt that I knew Hal quite a bit now, as well as his family, and the people he works with. I liked the drama, i felt it worked well with the story.

Hal fought quite a lot of monsters here, some more terrifying than others, and it puzzles me why he was the only one fighting them. There were a lot of other Green Lanterns out there, as you will see here, and Hal almost got himself killed quite a number of times and no backup arrived. Haha. Damn. The other GLs must have been so busy to help him out.

The illustrations were great! I loved them.

Overall, I really enjoyed it and would definitely be continuing on with the rest of this run.
