and like you could have figured with Simon spouting off about seniority like I talked about earlier. Both our Lanterns have to stop what they're doing though when their rings inform them that an alien ship has crash landed on Earth and this leads to our heroes meeting for the first time. Jessica is overcoming fear left and right here and while it may not be a staring down Mongul kind of overcoming fear, it's overcoming fear nonetheless and I like it. I really dig this part with Jessica because as she's trying to figure out why she was chosen, what with all the fear she has, she actually is overcoming fear during this whole section because she's recently been kicked out of her apartment, which was her safe haven and is now looking for her sister in a crowded place. since she's terrified of leaving the house. a couple of damn weeks?! So yeah, Simon's getting back to being treated like shit from the people he's sworn to protect and Jessica Cruz is questioning her ring's decision to induct her into the Green Lantern Corps. I just have to keep reminding myself of that like a montra because. I'll go with it though because you can't nitpick everything. Hell, later on Hal Jordan shows up and says that he only has seniority on Jessica by a couple of weeks and my continuity/time line brain melted thinking about how it's only been a couple of weeks between the Third Army and everything that we've done recently in the Green Lantern stories. He's still being called a terrorist by a bigoted neighborhood and he's still checking in with the FBI. and I'll tell ya, it's strange as hell seeing Simon Baz going back pretty much where we left him in his personal story line during the Third Army arc. so really, this revelation about this brand spankin' new power just doesn't have the impact that I think it should.Īfter that display we head on down to Earth to check in on our characters of this comic. Even with this new power, that our mysterious narrator seems hellbent on getting, it comes off really odd because all it just seems to be is every spectrum and we've already seen Kyle tame all the emotions so that he could become a White Lantern and the Indigo Tribe can summon up the individual emotions. Inside the box that this energy was stored in came the entire spectrum of colors that I assume took care of the Guardian's pursuers and then formed into a symbol we've never seen before. because that's what I'm usually worried about, got the better of this ancient being and he unleashed the energy and. After being hunted by the people of the sector the Guardian was hiding out in, well fear of dying and probably being eaten. Our issue begins with a little narrative from a mysterious source, but the gist of all this is that there's another Guardian out in the Universe, who's been hiding out and creating a new power that the Universe has never seen. or if one of them starts reciting "I'm getting too old for this shit". Let's jump into this issue and see if the paring of these two are a match made in heaven. These aren't exactly young heroes like I enjoy seeing getting accustomed to their new role, but they are rookies and that's close enough for me to smile when I see this book. Yeah, you can't really say he has his own book here because he's sharing it with Jessica Cruz, but after she was introduced in the aftermath of Forever Evil, the idea of a rookie female Lantern peaked my interest as well and I've probably hit the jackpot by these two having a series together. Anyway, the reason that I was so on board with this book right from the get go was because I've loved the Green Lanterns since I was a kid and it blew my mind when Geoff Johns introduced Simon Baz back during the #0 issue of the New 52 and the reason it blew my mind is because I initially blew it off like any asshole fanboy does before checking something out, but when I finally picked up the book and the subsequent issues that followed, I have to say that I immediately became a fan of Simon Baz and have been begging for him to get his own book ever since. Well, this and Blue Beetle, but we'll get to that one down the road a bit. Out of all the titles announced with the Rebirth moniker, I have to say that this one was the stand out in my mind that I couldn't wait to read.
