Personally, I'm really happy with how this issue turned out. I've only truly got into Green Lantern the past month or so, truly began to appreciate what Dan is doing with the characters and direction of the book. Working with him plotting Green Lantern Corps has been awesome, he's full of good ideas, and even his "bad ideas" are fully backed up, and I find myself coming over to his way of thinking too soon to be healthy.
This issue was an awesome book to guest-edit. Hector Hammond's evolution from stuttering fool to freaking evil villain was awesome to read. Loved Hal's overcoming his mind control, and loved Hank taking the fight to the "villain" in the opening scenes. The white room scenes were awesome written, and the final moment? Whilst abrupt the cliffhanger works because I'm completely invested in the book now. The non-GL moments (the flashbacks, the asides with the cop, Jim and Hector) were spot-on too, and I hope to see Dan work on something non-GL some time down the line!
Brilliant!

It was a fun issue! Bit of a cliff hanger there! I just wish it was a tad bit longer... I used to get flack all the time for 'short' issues, so I figured I'd pass the buck!  |

Bit of a cliffhanger?! Totally enthralling! I loved the entire story. Hal and Carol's relationship is building nicely, but I've got a sneaky suspicion there's still another woman out there that might put a bit of a snag in this budding romance.
Excellent cover as well. Great job, everyone!

You just think it's good because you know I have every issue plotted out for the next year...I have nothing else to say about the first paragraph, frankly because I agree with most of it, except for the fact that I have no bad ideas. Just ideas I haven't yet convinced you are good ideas.  I have nothing to say about the second paragraph, simply because you're gonna make me blush. Thanks for the kind words, and it's been a pleasure working with you. Even if you have weird ideas about redemption... |

Great job, everyone! Thanks. As I've said before, getting respect from the old DC2 heads (old in experience not age, HOM) means a lot to me, since I'm essentially just playing with the toys you guys built. I'm also glad that the relationship stuff is playing well, I know we read this stuff for slam-bang-superhero action, and I can promise that's coming too. |

Very nice issue, pretty rapid stuff after last month's slower issue. I really liked the mental stuff going on here with Hammond and Hal, it read very well, and it's always nice to see Carol Ferris get to show herself as a strong character. As I said last issue, Hammong is a villain I've never really "got" yet here I find myself entranced by him, he's written so compellingly that it just.... works.
And the cliffhanger? Cruelty, simple cruelty- you really just didn't want me to have any choice at all about coming back next month, did you!??
The cover had an interesting design as well, while I'm not sure Hal's face worked the image overall is strong and I love the outline of Hammond's face on it! Another excellent outing for the fifth member of DC's Big Five!

Things are certainly moving faster here, and that pace keeps up into next month. I've never really been a Hammond fan either, but I'm really enjoying writing him...he's got real creep-out potential that is fully explored next month. I've been reading your Flash...you started it! Seriously, thanks for reading...I've already finished 16, and next month is worth the wait. |
