You must have bought Mighty Thor, lol.
As a matter of fact, it was Mighty Thor. I take it there's a difference?

I don't know what new style you're referring to. That picture you posted is by Alex Ross, and that image in particular is not new. Are you buying the Green Lantern titles for yourself or your son? If you for, those GL titles are fantastic. Though the order is:RebirthSinestro Corps WarSecret Origins Blackest NightBrightest DayIf for your kid, those aren't good. They're actually very violent; DC overall is darker, deeper, and more violent than Marvel. The stories are also a lot (better) harder to get into.How much is his allowance? I say this because the average DC title is cheaper than the average Marvel title. DC is 2.99 and Marvel is around 3.99. I won't be of much help in this area; the lightest comic I read is Avengers Academy, which has some rare dark elements. I read serious / dark material most of the time. But I guess the Power Pack is good, from what I've heard.If you have any questions for me, feel free to ask. My specialty is Star Wars, but I'm good on matters of DC and the X-Men (for Marvel).
The new style seemed new to me, but I guess I assumed it marked a reboot or something. That's all.
The GL stuff is for both of us, though I've seen some stuff in this Rebirth book that might be too much for him. His allowance is $5 every other week, plus whatever he can get by recycling cans from the neighbors (about $10 a month) and money for grades from grandpa. He got $55 for his straight A's last quarter.
My Star Wars collection is decent. I have 5 of the Omnibus and most of the Legacy TPB. He has no interest in them except to hear me tell him the stories. Of all that he picked up, he's reread the Avengers, GL and Thor (until I took it away). So I think I'm looking for things in that vein. But are there simultaneous runs that have different levels of storytelling to them? Thor/Mighty Thor as an example?
For the uninitiated, it's tough to sort through these things. You mentioned the "Power Pack" as an example, but that seems to be kids. I think he wants to read what he sees as the adult-type stories. I won't let him read my Runaways HC's, or my Sandman or my League of Extraordinary Gentlemen sets.
