DC MOVIE MAY BE TOO 'GREEN' FOR SOME, BUT
'LANTERN' COMICS SHINE PLOT BLATENTLY PROUD...
Art by ALEX ROSS
DC's surprisingly most consistent high-grade hero
reading is, and has been for years now, its staple will-
powered character Hal Jordan, otherwise known as the
'GREEN LANTERN'....
Over the past 6 years, DC has allowed anyone who chooses to, enter easily into the life of Hal through gateway stories such as 'GREEN LANTERN REBIRTH',which contains everything a newcomer'd ever need to know about emerald ring-wielders, and 'SECRET ORIGIN', an emotional internal struggle within a man who has almost no trouble adapting to amazing abilities, yet has complex foibles as a human being, which literally blow up the challenges of being, with apologies to Marvel's Daredevil's catchphrase, "a man without fear"...
Don't let the spaced-out rock-'em/sock-'em of a few stories and a visually explosive movie fool you, GREEN LANTERN usually reads as a very down-to-earth, character-driven beam of redeeming light in a sometimes murky medium...
"I shall shed my light over dark evil.
For the dark things cannot stand the light,
The light of the Green Lantern! "
----Original oath uttered by first [1940's] Green Lantern, Alan Scott.
"In brightest day, in darkest night,
No evil shall escape my sight
Let those who worship evil's might,
Beware my power...Green Lantern's light!"
---The most famous version, used by modern [1960's & up] Green Lantern, Hal Jordan.
