So... not only were the constructs breaking easier a story point for this arc with Zod, this arc has some decent pacing and build up. Hal proves how much of a badass he is by giving Kyle his ring to escape Jakuul in sector 2811. I wonder if the writers know Kyle has done the EXACT same thing with his ring, just not to the point of going through the head of an enemy. Thankfully for the Eradicator he could tecno-organically heal from it in record time LOL.
Now to get to the good part... that ending splash page. I'm going to go out of my way and tell you I'm one of the biggest Kyle fans that I know of. While I've liked some iterations more than others one thing I have never been ashamed to critique is his costumes. I've liked a couple elements more than others from his various designs.... however this new design reminds me a little of the Hal/Kyle Yellow Parallax amalgam from Sinestro Corps War. With the next issue being titled "Hal for a day" I can only assume this is only a minor power upgrade with Hal's forged ring. But doesn't this new design have a ton of potential?!?
I'd go ahead and make the boots and the gaunlets more like the ones from his classic suit, but I love the new torso design and centering the classic badge. I think the torso could even be white if they wanted to make a quick edit [remember how the original Ion went from being green with black trim to white with green trim over night?]. If Hal gives Kyle his ring and starts using Kyle's reworked Corps standard.... does that count as a power upgrade?
EVS really nailed it this issue. I wish his vision for New52 Firestorm would've had a bigger push, however I think THIS is what he has been waiting to do for awhile now.
DC... put Hal and Kyle on Earth in GREEN LANTERNS and let a writer that knows what he's doing work with EVS and another artist on a twice monthly comic. I need more of this.
