This is a series that has skirted around the premise of the story for three issues, yet can still keep me entertained. It is dealing with a large cast that get their character moments here and there, but not much is still really known about them save for the one Green Lantern, Kyle Rayner.
And it leaves me wanting more after each read.
That's the awesomeness of this book. It does feel like they are going to take the first six issues to really plan out the series, but this is a series and concept I am on board with. I would consider this book the second string Green Lantern book. I know that Bedard will be able to write the stories he wants to tell, but you get the feeling that Geoff Johns is the one calling the shots on what is legit and what isn't. I would expect to see Johns steal an idea of Bedard's if Bedard uses it wisely in New Guardians.
One of the better things out of this book is the reveal in the third issue of the new character, Glomulus. You get so much sense of his personality in the few lines he says, but within that moment of his appearance you just can't help but like him. Its entertainment, and that's something I enjoy from the comic books I read.
Averages for Issues #1-3:
Words: 7.3 /10
Pictures: 6.6/10
Overall Grade for Issues #1-3: If this book can keep with one consistent artist, it will be solid. I would say 7/10 overall for right now, but I see this book on a good path to something better.
