It's new comic-book Wednesday, and I'm behind a couple of reviews! Sorry about that. Things with school are starting to get pretty hectic; especially with this simulation class.

If you know me, then you probably know that Green Lantern is and has been my favorite super hero since I was a little kid. I have no idea why... He just appeals me. Something about rings, I guess.
So far out of all the new 52 comics that I've read Green Lantern didn't feel like a complete reboot. At Comic Con, Jim Lee and company explained that the new 52 was going to give new readers, potentially people that have never bought a comic book in their life, the opportunity to join the band wagon. [minor spoiler] In Green Lantern, the only thing that rebooted is the fact that Hal Jordan no longer has a ring and Sinestro is, once again, a Green Lantern (against his will). The three other Green Lanterns that patrol Sector 2814 i.e. Guy Gardner, John Stewart, and Kyle Rayner still exist and will probably be featured in this week's Green Lantern Corps.
Since I've been following Green Lantern, it's not so much of a big deal to me. I know the story... However, new readers won't get to experience or read about Abin Sur... Except for maybe a flash back, possibly?
Geoff John's writing is awesome, as to be expected. Doug Mahnke's art is pretty cool too. However, I think I've fallen in love with Felipe Massafera's art in Flashpoint Abin Sur series.
