STEVERINO Goes Green

Steve-o here back this week to bring you

the tale of the new Green Lantern of space sector 2814.

GREEN LANTERN: EMERALD DAWN

Book 1 of 6, Dec 1989

Published by DC Comics

"The Sign"  (I guess that's this chapters title.

It shows up on the last page along with the credits)

 Written by: Jim Owsley/M.D.Bright    Inks: Romeo Tanghal

lettering: Al DeGuzman

Yawn. This is said to be essential reading and

THE series to read about GL in Post-Crisis continuity.

OK, but a whole book showing Hal Jordan's dad Lt. Martin H. Jordan

crash and die in front of his two sons (Jack) and a woman I assume

is his wife as well as his Ferris Aircraft co-workers

 and then follows Hal while he self-destructs?

Chapter one of six shows us 23 pages of a story that could have

taken five or six pages to tell.

This is the best page in the book.

It features a dying Abin Sur, the Green Lantern of Space Sector 2814

only we are not told his full name or why he crashed.

I can deal with that but the cool red alien passing

the ring and lantern on gets two pages.Two.

I think the above page is supposed to be the show stopper.

It's not. Like the story it's dull and not well done.

This happened alot in the Eighties.

You see. He almost gives a complete summary

of this comic in three panels. Chapter one of six did

do its job. I do want to read on and see where

Emerald Dawn goes from here.

Hopefully, up.

And now back to the fun.

 How about a fan made GL video?

How about an Emerald Dawn action figure?

 

Ring?

Cookie?

OK. I'll move on.

If I do pull books two thru six out of

The Big Box I'll probably read them too.

How else will I know what happens?
