Having your face stuck like that for eternity? On a technical and character level, this comic was on point.
#HAL JORDAN SERIES#
Hal Jordan sounded right, Sinestro’s power grab and decisions were in character for him (I’m mixed on it, but I’ll get into it later), Lyssa Dark seemed right with her attitude and pose, and Soranik felt very much like her character we’ve seen in the recent Sinestro series (not sure about her Betty Rubble haircut though). The characterization I found to be completely on point for every single character. There’s no awkward transitions between the panels and the dialogue and narration sound perfectly good (though I have no clue where the narration is coming from when the comic switches over to the Sinestro Corps). The pacing is solid and the story flows well from page to page. On a writing and technical level, Robert Venditti crafts a pretty solid start. As such, it really feels like you can easily skip that comic and just jump straight to this one without much trouble, because this comic feels like a stronger introduction than the Rebirth issue ever was. In particular, the whole sequence with Sinestro and what happened with him should have happened there to give the Rebirth issue a bit more excitement and reason for readers to want to check out this new book.
It felt like material from this issue should have been in that issue. Upon finishing this issue, I reflected back on the Rebirth one and thought about the two comics. Meanwhile, Hal Jordan is looking for his buddies. However, Sinestro, who has suddenly gotten much older, has decided to switch things up. With the Green Lantern Corps still missing, the Sinestro Corps have risen to power under Soranik’s leadership and a change in company policy.
