End of issue

The good
Art was great! From start to finish, The fight between both Hal’s was picture perfect, none wanted to back down, both thought they were right. It also shows great heroism on Hal’s part o willingly go back despite what may come took great courage. It was also great seeing classic powerful parallax none of that whiny retcon parallax who can seem to do more then scare Spectre and little else.  Also loved Kyle being the voice of reason despite

his personal stake in things after all, he would never have gotten the ring, his girlfriend would not have died and he would no doubt be ten times happier as a normal man than he will ever be as a lantern. All around great story.

The action should be adequate for action junkies and it has enough characterization to satisfy the deeper reader.

The bad
Perfect issue

The Ugly
5/5 stars
