SPOLIERS:
This series just keeps getting better and better!
The original (and and yet 'right') direction that Scott is taking these characters (especially Guy) is always fun to read. Guy has been kind of a joke in the DCU for a while now, but I wasn't laughing when he put a bullet in Sinestro's head in this issue. And his exchanges with Hal are always the right note of funny and antagonistic. The Wisconsin/Green Bay connection is neat, too (I assume he has a big 'G' logo on his shirt...)
Hal's fight with Sinestro was one of the finest action scenes yet written on this site, and really drives home Hal's apptitude for the ring. And his internal monologue gets us inside the head of a character we want to know better. If I didn't know better, I would think the writer has a power ring of his own!
What did everyone else think of the Chloe Sullivan scenes? I loved her initial exchange with Faraday (especially the part about the JSA)--- I can't wait to see where Scott takes this!
All in all, this was a roller-coaster ride and a treat to read.

It was a great read, that's for sure! I agree with everything that Ramon agreed with, with Idle. Really digging Chloe's involvement in all of this. Can't wait for the next one!  |

A quick read considering the size of the book, and you're building quite a mythology for yourself, and creating many threads to pick up on later. I just hope Faraday doesn't leave the book anytime soon... |

Still catching up on the story but I had to stop by and say that the cover Darth Lantern did here is just an absolutely beautiful piece of work. Man, too bad we couldn't get this guy to come over to this site.
And also very cool to have a non-traditional "sideways" cover there Scott. I wasn't sure how it would work with the format we have here but I think it looks great and is very eye-catching on the mainpage!

Thanks Everyone for the words of praise! And I hope you like it when you have a chance to read it Brandon... it's very different from what you may have read before... similar, but not...  We have one more non-traditional sideways cover coming with issue #7 as well! Stay tuned... I'm just sort of surprised I haven't heard any more: 'Chloe Sullivan... what the heck is going on???' comments! |

This title took a while to get going, but man o man, once it did...  A surprise in every box! Dead (?!?) Sinestro, Guy gets a ring, Hal kicks major buttski...and every line of dialogue was priceless! Can't wait for more! |

I'm just sort of surprised I haven't heard any more: 'Chloe Sullivan... what the heck is going on???' comments! I'm surprised I got so many from a brief comment, when you have her featured so prominently! |

Basically I think it boils down to Superman having more readers! If they had read Superboy & the LSH or GL, or the DC2 Illustrated entries, it wouldn't have been such a shock... not that I think it was one. It's cool though... she's a great character that I felt needed a voice (and a unique approach) in the DC2! Things only get bigger for her from here on!

Very nice! Hal kicking Sinestro's butt on his first bout! A fully trained GL with all the neccesary abilities to beat a normal GL and still gets his butt handed to him. Hal was born to bear the ring! That Guy though, what an ass....
Looking forward to the next issue! Maybe some sparks with Lt. Jordan and Miss Sullivan, heh, heh.....

OK, so much has already been said so i will keep it brief (since the new issue just posted).
I really liked it a lot. I was shocked and pissed off with what you have done with Guy. Is that the kinda reaction you wanted from people? If it was you got it! Now i am extremely hooked and I can't wait to find out what comes next!
On to issue 5!

Not quite the reaction I was going for... glad you're hooked though! I play Guy to the extreme, not because I want Hal to look better, but because my favorite Hal/Guy stories were always the ones where they were at each others throats! Sorry to say, Guy will be even more unlikeable now that he's under the influence of the LEGION virus... just wait until he & Hal meet again (you just have to wait a couple months  )! Hope you enjoyed #5! Please let me know what you thought! |

Ha! Damn you, Scott! I like Guy as the arrogant good guy (not the extremely sucky version, but the GLC one I thinks) and you've made him EVIL?! Yikes!

He's not evil... just misguided... now that he has the ring, things'll be even more interesting!

Well I trust you with Guy. I just know that in the end he will become the one true Green Lantern, marry Chloe Sullivan, and bring peace to several galaxies. Right? Right?  |

Yeah... but they lied!
Superboy Prime whacked on a glass wall really hard & suddenly Kyle has a lot of Lantern friends & a space-face that even my wife thinks is lame and she could care less! They should have left him a GL I'm telling ya! Hell, I hated the crab mask & I'd take it a million times over the space-face!
