Green Lantern: Rebirth by Prentis Rollins, Geoff Johns, Brad Meltzer, Ethan Van Sciver
2.0
I’ve been meaning to get up to speed on ‘Green Lantern,’ mostly because of its rich history and sci-if milieu. “Rebirth” seemed like a good jumping-on point for the reader with a passing familiarity with the character.
Unfortunately, “Rebirth” is everything I dislike about superhero comics: unidimensional characters, a complex backstory that mystifies newcomers, and conflicts that always seem to boil down to a bunch of luchadores punching one another.
I spent half this comic wondering what was going on, and the other half not caring. Still, “Rebirth” is very nicely drawn. At least it has that going for it.
