Green Lantern, Volume 3: Brother's Keeper

Wow, this took me by surprise.
So the first half is pretty fun. Have the return of a villain who just HAS to get his revenge. Turning almost everyone against Kyle. It's silly, over the top, but pretty fun and a surprise ending. Then we get into a fun story of Kyle having his girlfriend Jen and his mom meet for the first time. They also go to a school reunion. All of this was top notch and very enjoyable.
Then we get into the best story of the bunch. A two parter about a hate crime. Terry, Kyle's assistant in drawing is beaten badly by a bunch of guys simply because he kissed his boyfriend outside a club. Filled with guilt and anger, Kyle tries to find out who could beat a 17 year old kid for something so small. This sends Kyle off on a rampage and confronting multiple people.
The last story is easily the strongest one. Hitting home since a lot of hate crimes DO still happen. So it was well told and well done. I also enjoyed seeing Kyle with his mother and girlfriend, all the dialogue feels very real. So for the second half it's a easy 5 out of 5 for me. But the first half isn't great and I can't give it more than a 3 . It's pretty forgettable. So I'll settle for this collection at a 4 out of 5.
