Customer Reviews

One of the best

To me, these three books started it all within the novelizations of comics to, well novels. I was a little hesitant at first, because i really don't like kyle, but as the story progressed, i found myself sucked into these books and could not stop, if you read anything of green lantern(other then the johns story line in the comics) read these three books, you will not be disappointed.

No simple read

Priest delivers in usual 'more meat on the steak' fashion. The ride was worth the price of admission. A pity he isn't doing any current comic book work.

Worth the Trouble

After reading Book 2, I was not looking forward to finishing this trilogy. There are numberous flaws that are readily writen about in that book's review. However, I'm glad I got to Book 3. As an long time comic reader, I enjoy the novelization of these heros, but only if they're taken seriously. The author met that criteria in this book. Those of us that know the Green Lantern stories from the 1980s through present day will love to see how the author respects the characters and situations. Those new to the stories will enjoy how the tale unfolds. One caveat: you need to read Books 1 and 2 for the whole story to make sense. The author answers questions left by those two. However, not reading those two won't take away from the story's impact. Enjoy!!!

Excellent background information

Very detailed origins of Alan Scott, the first Green Lantern and a forgotten foe that fought Hal Jordan once in the old ACTION COMICS WEEKLY (#632-635): Lord Malvolio. Excellent characteraztion and plot make this a very good book for some great light reading. I highly recommend it to all fans of GL!
