That's strange; with the addition of Hammond it looked like it was following "Secret Origins" with Parallax added instead of the Black Hand / Atrocitus stuff.
Basically G-Man's review confirmed all of the fears I've had since I read the 1st draft of this script circulating around the internet. They should have gone with a tweaked up script based upon the vastly superior "Emerald Dawn" then one based upon Johns' "Secret Origin". A movie based on Emerald Dawn would have keep GL in space on Oa where he belongs, but DC just can't quit Geoff Johns and had to get Parallax involved. I'm still seeing it but it sounds like a huge disappointment.
$2.99 to $3.99 is just too much money to charge for a comic book. If these companies want to bring in new readers the prices have to come down on monthly titles, even if that means going back to newsprint.
Didn't we just have another reboot with Final Crisis!? I'm about done with DC and Geoff Johns. With reboot after reboot wiping out years of history, I have no connection with any of these characters anymore. When is DC going to realize that for every "new young reader" these gimmicks add, they lose a faithful reader who doesn't want to see years of history disappear on a whim.
US Agent has his arm and leg back. I guess the Watcher has the power to restore him, they are cybernetics, or this is a younger version / alternate earth US Agent.
There was a female GL in the 50's named Donna Parker. The Guardians offered her a ring and she turned it down to spend more time with her kids (seriously). Maybe getting rejected soured them on earth women in the Corps?
