Rising Tides


The Flashpoint books continue to be entertaining overall.  The reworked origin of Hal Jordan was much more in line with the new film version bridging the gap a bit between the two.    The book answers one question that readers may have wondered about.

Hal Jordan had never become a Green Lantern.  This does raise some interesting questions about the fates of other Earth born Lanterns as it would appear that there has not yet been a human Green Lantern.  When Hal meets Abin Sur it would appear to be Earth's first contact with the Corps.
For the most part the book is a character piece focused on Hal and what makes him tick and who he is in this new version of the world.  However the book does have a few action moments to keep the interest level up and I am curious to see what happens next.


COMING SOON
The Battle of Coast City!
