james_desantis 's review for:
Green Lantern: Baptism of Fire
by Romeo Tanghal, Paul Pelletier, Darryl Banks, Ron Marz
Going back in time I decided to check out some more of Ron Marz Green Lantern before making my new Green Lantern video. Fun times!
So we have Kyle still learning to be a hero. He's decided to be one but what better way to get used to it than going around and fighting crime with other heroes. That's basically what 80% of this book is as he teams up with Flash, Wonder Woman, Batman (kind of) and more. We also get a crazy weird story where Kyle gives a disable man legs with his power ring and then the guy loses his legs again and makes a deal with a evil guy to get his legs back and kill Kyle...
The things that work are mostly in Kyle's fun outlook on life. He says jokes, he's enjoying being a hero, and his team ups can be fun. The best being with Flash by far. I also enjoyed that we get down to earth issues like his relationship with Donna. Also, the art is fun 90's flare to it! The things that didn't work were the many crossovers, most feeling half told here in the collection. Also, it is old school, so every issue closes up a story usually. No big overarching storyline.
Overall, fun times. Nothing remarkable, but worth a read if a Kyle fan.
