I think a lot of how you feel about this GN will depend on how deeply immersed you are in the history and lore of Green Lantern. It relies heavily on knowing minute details of Hal's relationships from comics based in the 1960's, 1970's, and 1990's, which, of course, culminated in Hal's turning into Parralax and destroying the GL Corps. (If you have no idea what I'm talking about, this isn't the book for you.) Strangely, none of this is considered spoilers, since the book ASSUMES you know all of this stuff. The story by Joe Kelly is well-done, and does a nice job of exploring Hal's life and psyche, with a bit of his trademark surrealism. The art, by Brent Anderson, is amazing and evocative, which is almost always the case for him.
I liked it a lot, but I'm a huge GL fan!
