REVIEW MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS
Summary:
The second installment of the Green Lantern Archives. This covers issues #6 - 13 with appearances by Tomar-Re, Pol Manning, Sinestro, Carol Ferris, Tom Kalmaku, the Flash, various members of the Green Lantern Corps, and the Guardians of the Universe.
Genre:
fiction, comics, DC Comics, science fiction
Why this book:
Because I love all things Green Lantern.
This Story is About:
courage, working hard, doing the right thing, duty
Favorite Character:
Hal Jordan
Sinestro. Because he’s a great villain.
I’ve always loved the alien GLs; Xax of Xaos and Chaselon of Barrio III
Least Favorite Character:
N/A
Character I Most Identified With:
I always loved Tomar Re. One of my favorite comic book characters ever.
The Feel:
These early issues catch the wonder of those years in the Silver Age of Comics. Big stories. Big science fiction. Greatness.
Favorite Scene:
The battles with Sinestro.
Hal and Tomar battling the giant monsters on Xudar.
The Corps gatherings.
Settings:
Sector 2813; Sector 2814; Constellation Monoceros, Planet Aku; Planet Xudar; Planet Earth; Planet Oa; the Anti-Matter Universe; Planet Qward; Planet Korugar; Planet Earth in the Year 5700; Microverse; Planet Yquem; Central Power Battery; Planet Spectar
Pacing:
On an issue to issue basis, the pacing is pretty good. The bird issue wasn’t so great, but all the others move along at a page turner pace.
Plot Holes/Out of Character:
The issue that centered on when Green Lantern slept with the ring on and dreamed that he turned his friend into a bird. And the power ring turned him into a bird. I mean...even by Silver Age comic book standards that’s gotta be a ways out there, right.
Always thought it would have made a cool twist on Hal Jordan, if his foray into the year 5700 and his relationship with Iona there had resulted in a son or daughter that he would only be aware of when he was drawn through time for a mission as Green Lantern.
Put the Jack Jordan story with the bird story. It’s way too Lois Lane/Lana Lang trying to find out Superman’s secret identity and setting a trap for Clark Kent to fall into.
Last Page Sound:
Love it.
Author Assessment:
Love this team’s work.
Editorial Assessment:
Well done.
Did the Book Cover Reflect the Story:
The covers all reflect well on the stories.
Hmm Moments:
The deep sleep immortals of Planet Aku are a lot like the movie The Surrogates. Considering that this issue of Green lantern was written in 1961, that’s pretty cool.
Knee Jerk Reaction:
real classic
Disposition of Book:
Irving Public Library
Why isn’t there a screenplay?
They could have based the GL movie on one of these for sure. Wish they would have either told a Hector Hammond or a Parallax story instead of mashing them together.
Casting call:
I’m in the minority here, but I enjoyed the casting on the GL movie.
Would recommend to:
kids, genre fans ( )
