Publisher: DC Comics

Wanted: Hal Jordan

This was great.

It's got that "everything and the kitchen sink" feel.

I mean...Faceless Hunters from Saturn, the armored Russian Rocket Reds, the JLA, Dominators, Hunger Dog...who I wanna know more about, and Alan Scott, the original Green Lantern.

Wonder Woman's quip was priceless.

Amon Sur is a bad...shut your mouth, but I'm talkin' about Amon. The bastard walks into the comic book equivalent of Area 51 and starts blasting away.

Hope that Cowgirl isn't dead. She's a great character and we're getting to the point where there has been enough death and destruction in comics...for an issue or three anyway.

The whole "Hal Jordan buried his predecessor in the GL Corps in an unmarked grave in the Mojave and forgot about him" doesn't ring true for the character of Hal Jordan. It's a sour note, but it's also central to next issue's premise.

...and did I mention that Amon is a bad...

I give it Eight and a Half Smoke Rings out of a possible Ten.
