Book Summary Information

Book Reviews of Green Lantern: Emerald Dawn II

Book Review: Even Better Than The First Part
Summary: 5 Stars

The highlight of this story however, is SINESTRO. This story shows Sinestro training Hal to be a Green Lantern who believes in order. It also recounts Sinestro's tragic fall from grace - for taking his responsibilities a little too fanatically. This foreshadows Hal's later fall for the same reasons. The original Silver Age Sinestro was a little two-dimensional as a villain. Here, with the added teacher-disciple ties with Hal and the story of his fall, we have a Sinestro that we can understand (and perhaps even symphatize with).

I do not understand the many complains about Giffen and Jones in Emerald Dawn I and II. These two stories served to "humanize" the otherwise 2D-characterizations of Hal Jordan and Sinestro. In view of Marvel's recent "Ultimate" versions of their characters, these two TPBs stands as the "Ultimate" version of DC's Green Lantern.
