Green Lantern New Guardians #1 W: Tony Bedard P: Tyler Kirkham I: Batt
I
don't know what Tony Bedard has done to deserve this, but he has the
unenviable task of INTRODUCING Kyle Rayner as a new character and
integrating him into the Johns GL Universe. I mean, how does that even
work? Everything from GL over the past 10 years or so all happened
EXCEPT Kyle Rayner being a Lantern? GEOFF JOHNS I HATE YOU I HATE YOU I
HATE YOU (except when you're writing Aquaman) but I HATE DIDIO MORE
(except when he's writing OMAC).
So, we're now in the position
where we're supposed to remember everything from recent continuity, even
the stuff Barry Allen could never have known about, except when we're
not. OR ARE WE? What we really need here is some kind of editor,
preferably somebody who has a lot of experience as one - maybe they're
Executive Editor of a company or something - to oversee the whole thing
and make sure it makes sense... OH WAIT. So fair play to Tony Bedard
then, who sends a firm message to Johns and DiDio:
He even takes time out to slag off the bag of shit he's been given.
DESPITE
THIS, HE HAS PROBABLY PRODUCED THE BEST GL BOOK OF THE REBOOT. It's
cute and funny and has a plot and is FUN although the art really does
bite JRJr:
Still, A for effort, one and a half thumbs up.
