Am I the only one who thinks those weird, green sunglasses look ridiculous? The rest of the uniform seems good, but those are just silly.

I find it very telling that, when she said she would need to bone up on the character, what they sent her were only collections of Geoff Johns' GL.

So, I liked (not loved) Far Sector #1. I'm curious about how her ring is different.
The premise of a far sector (it's a little much that she doesn't know the number) negates the orange wedge/pie slice view of the sectors that I thought was cannon now (because no sector is closer or farther).
The character's little jab of equating "presidential elections" with the rise of the Nazis and the genocide in Rwanda was silly, but technically she didn't say what election.
The world building is interesting---emotionless, nearly crime-free multi-species world. We'll see.

Venditti eventually read some of the earlier material, but he said in the beginning that he has only read the Johns issues. Which was probably why he got the job.Last edited by Trey Strain; 11-14-2019, 05:35 PM.

The alien world is nicely different but with that Silver-Age sense of having real-world counterparts like the the essentially Twitter alien species. That kind of thing is fun.
The main character needs more developing, but I assume that's coming. I do like that she's not perfect---she does forensics like most of us would; with the kind of knowledge you'd get from news articles and TV shows, but no more.
Anyway, I'm glad someone else is reading it. It would be nice to get back to conversations on new GL books here.Last edited by Space Cop; 11-15-2019, 04:47 AM.
