A friend suggested that I give this series a try in spite of my heavy dislike for Green Lantern Corps Rebirth, and I'm grateful to say that I found it superior in comparison. 

The plot was not exceptionally interesting but Simon and Jessica themselves were fully realized characters whose personal and societal struggles were written in a passionate manner that abstained from melodrama. I unequivocally relate to Jessica's anxiety and appreciated that both the emotional and physical components involved in living with it were described well. 

Throughout the story the Green Lanterns' powers of will were effectively displayed without reducing their characters to that of nearly flawless beings who were stripped of natural human traits. Their rings may hail from an otherworldly origin, but thankfully their personalities still felt down to earth. 

Seeing the protagonists' shared triumph also made their original incompatibility as partners worth witnessing, and I am looking forward to seeing how they continue to grow both individually and together.
