It was good. Some of the ideas were really interesting and worthy of being explored in greater detail whenever they get around to rebooting the Green Lantern concept on screen again. But as a story, it never really gelled for me as a cohesive narrative. More like a lot of really interesting scenes strung together.<br /><br />Also like the other Earth One books (well, most of them), the artwork was fantastic (the only exceptions to this were the three Superman books and volume 2 of the Teen Titans, all of which were "meh" bordering on terrible).<br /><br />The only Earth One book that fully succeeds as story is volume one of Teen Titans. The fact that they're not using that as the basis for the upcoming Teen Titans live-action TV series shows just how little understanding WB and DC have of the quality of the material they own.Danielnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10945794.post-46358245847277496172018-03-19T11:28:11.606-05:002018-03-19T11:28:11.606-05:00Great review, sounds very intriguing.

One of my complaints about DC imprints (the recent announcement of Black Label being an example) is we rarely get projects centering outside the trinity. Glad to see at least this and Teen Titans have both gotten out there! I hope the much rumored Aquaman Earth One comes soon. <br /><br />I'll also second the call for if not more Earth One books then at least a regular publishing schedule, rather then two one year then none for 3 years way they've been doing it so far.
