Justice League: Darkseid War - Green Lantern #1 *Preview/Spoilers*

My understanding from the interviews I've read is that this *does* take place within the world of all the other titles, the only thing they're not going to worry about is the timing of when exactly it takes place, even if it doesn't "fit" at all. So YES, a death would have repercussions and be canon. (for as long as anything lasts these days)

Well, given that it seems like a ton of characters die in the first few pages of this that are NOT dead elsewhere, either it DOESN'T have repercussions, whatever they say, or the deaths will all be undone by the end.

Will I enjoy it? I presume it will tell me which of my two options listed above applies.

Yes, Tom King should be writing the GL.

I think so, I certainly did. It's one in done tie-in to an event so the plot isn't exactly the most complex but I thought the characterization of Hal was spot on and the art was good.

Yea, I'd take King/Shaner over Venditti/Tan on Green Lantern any day of the week.

Seriously though Shaner should do more GL work:

I hate to just say yes or no. It was a pretty good issue; more philosophical and esoteric than action (centered around the concept of what Hal would do with the power of a god), although there's plenty of fighting. I doubt you'll concur with Hal's understanding of God and will, but like Hypo said it was very Hal. And certainly the art was a welcome break from Tan.

While I enjoyed this issue, in the end it didn't really go anywhere or have any long lasting result. Art was great, and I liked the idea of a Mother Ring, God-Hal had a wicked costume as well.

4*, did i like it yes BUT i could of used more fighting, more GOD-Hal and less young Hal being mad at what happened to his dad plus less young Hal talking to GOD-Hal (cause i saw that coming a mile away )

We've already seen what he would do. He'd erase the universe and create a new one.

Well, we've seen what he'd do under editorial fiat, anyway.

True. Actually, they should've addressed that this issue, but instead they acted as if this was Hal's first time with godlike omnipotence.

Of course, for all we know, it IS his first time with godlike omnipotence in the current continuity. It is at least his first time with such power when he wasn't being manipulated by Parallax, under the last continuity that addressed such matters explicitly.

Haven't picked up my comics in the last two weeks, but I'm getting this one. I haven't read anything from this arc so I'm in and out with this one issue.
