The Green Lantern chapter books have been pretty solid. Maybe not as good as some of the Superman ones, but still above the Batman books. This one is in the middle for me. It’s definitely under the Blue Lanterns book.

Despite how the cover may appear, this book has a lot less action than the previous one. The book starts out with Hal Jordan heading off to finally go to Oa, but things keep sidetracking him. It seems that everyone needs help, but Hal is caught unaware when his power ring won’t defend him from yellow attacks. The GL members explain that yellow is the color of fear, which is why Jordan couldn’t stop it. Jordan quickly blows up a yellow construct and shows them that you must overcome fear. (Of course, he wasn’t scared the first time, so it should have worked back then….)

Hal Jordan is a pretty solid main character and he shows that you can never give up. He’s always been one of my favorite DC characters and it’s easy to see why. Sinestro is all right, but while he talks tough, he doesn’t help too much against the big threats. Besides Jordan and Sinestro. none of the other characters really get a role. The enemies were decently tough, but they were pretty one shotish.

This GL book was about average I’d say. It was pretty entertaining, but it felt shorter than usual and I missed the fight scenes. Hal barely had to use his constructs at all. I do recommend this book to all DC fans, or to people that like adventure, but you may want to check out his other books first. Just be warned, Kilowog doesn’t get to appear in an epic fashion…or in any way at all. Sometimes, the cover may attempt to trick you. I could see myself reading this book again someday.

Overall 7/10
