Another Hal Jordan Origin Story 0
Following the incredible Sinestro Corps War this issue once again revisits the origin of Hal Jordan. Much of it is rehashed background from the recent series and seems repetitive.

The title made it seem like it might be a good place for a Lantern noob...

It has been touched on many times thus far in the series and thus might feel a little unnecessary, but to the uninitiated it reads pretty well. It basically tells Hal's story from his young years idolizing his father, to joining the Air Force to his discharge. It does a good job of adding some depth to the character as well as those who he confides in. There is really only one addition to the regular storyline and that ties in the ...
