What I Liked
We finally get to see Star Sapphire make her new 52 debut, and her costume is now covering her up a little more. Guess they gotta make that change if they plan on having Kyle become a Star Sapphire at some point.

What I Didn't Like
This isn't a zero issue with an origin story, it just shows where this book will go next. And if you didn't read anything before this or wonder who all is on the cover, this book doesn't do much to tell you or explain things. Almost a fail on all fronts for me.

And that art. Did you see the cover? All those characters would have broken backs. Especially Star Sapphire. Show me the perspective that you would have to be looking at her for that pose to make sense.

Buy Next Issue: Negative, Captain. Looks like there will just be one Green Lantern book going for me.




Revival #3

Story by Tim Seeley
Art by Mike Norton

What I Liked
This story just keeps on getting interesting. Bring me more of this "rural noir" that you speak of. Yes...

And the art just keeps going strong. The picture of the flying wiener dog just made me laugh!

What I Didn't Like
I was slightly confused by some parts, but thanks to having the recent issues within arm's reach got things sorted out.

Grades
Words: 8/10
Pictures: 9/10
Buy Next Issue: I'm down. Thinking this one might be for the long haul.
