Book Review: Absolute Green Lantern Vol. 1 by A. Ewing et al.

Absolute Green Lantern Volume 1: Without Fear written by Al Ewing and art by Jahnoy Lindsay

In yet another reboot of the DC Comics universe, the Green Lantern mythos is completely reimagined as Abin Sur comes crashing down on Evergreen, a small town just outside of California. The town is caught in a bubble and the townsfolk disappear except for a handful, including Hal Jordan, John Stewart, and other recognized names in the Green Lantern tradition. They are regular townfolk trying to figure out what Abin Sur is up to. About halfway through this volume some explanation is made but it is not very coherent and not at all intriguing. The story reads like they are trying to come up with something new but haven't thought it out and are just winging it. As a Green Lantern fan, I found this very disappointing and won't be coming back to it.

Not recommended.
