Green Lanterns: Rebirth #1 by Geoff Johns, Sam Humphries, Ethan Van Sciver, Ed Benes

Umm, Hal in my opinion can generally do no wrong, but, what the hell man?

Hal goes off to do his hero stuff in outer space and he leaves Jessica and Sebastian in charge of protecting Earth. 

Cool, cool, they’re pretty okay. Except for the fact that Sebastian is a bit of a douche, Jessica spends half her time super afraid and oh yeah, can’t make constructs. Oh and let's not forget that Hal binds their Lanterns. Now they need each other to recharge, so yeah, not that great.

This was a pretty good start off for these new GL’s; definitely looking forward to what they will bring to the table.

Green Lantern Corps: Edge of Oblivion #1-6 by Tom Taylor (Writer), Ethan Van Sciver (Illustrator)

Reviews All 6 Issues

If you have a Green Lantern story being led by Guy Gardner, we definitely know there is going to be a lot of fighting and some serious grumpiness going on.

The Green Lantern Corps is stuck in the universe before the current universe (not sure if this intergalactic travel or time travel), they are stuck in a universe with big, ugly monsters that actually kill a lot of GL’s.

For a short story it was good, plus, and this is a fave of mine, Kilowog is a strong supporting character in this story.

If you love your Green Lanterns, this is mini-story worth reading.

I Can Be a Gymnast (Barbie) by Kristen L. Depken, Tino Santanach (Illustrator), Joaquin Canizares (Illustrator)

Ugh, little girls in the reading group loved this book. It’s pink and frilly and designed to appeal to this young demographic.

I just could not stomach this book, it was full of clichés and gaggy dialogue. Although, I have to forgive all this because I am not the target demographic.

4th Story Review
--------------------------------------------------
Main Guy: Noah Christensen
Main Girl: Naomi Davis

Compared to the other three stories, these two characters were just so blah.

I get that Noah was left off to the end as he’s the younger brother, but seeing as how I felt this story didn't measure up to the others, it should have maybe come in the middle of the series as to not weaken the ending.

The chemistry between the two main characters Noah and Naomi felt non-existent and the over drama-kill with the mobsters was just a little too much.

Froggy Gets Dressed (Froggy) by Jonathan London, Frank Remkiewicz (Illustrator)

This story had everyone in a riot. Poor little Froggy is in such a rush to get outside and play that he steps out first with no clothes, then he forgets his pants, his jacket and it goes on and on. You almost feel bad for little Froggy, but he finally gets all his winter gear on and gets to have a little fun.

The Sleeper and the Spindle by Neil Gaiman

Mr.Gaiman gives us a nice twist to the more traditional, post-happily ever after Snow White and Sleeping Beauty.

The villain is not who you expect and as for the hero, it would be more appropriate to say heroine.

This was an enjoyable short-read with enough twists and gasping moments to draw you in.
