Green Lantern, Volume 1: New Journey, Old Path
by Rich Faber, Darryl Banks, Judd Winick
I believe this is Judd Winick's very first superhero story he had written. It's kind of fun to go back to when writers began after reading a lot of their most famous work. So his Green Lantern, staring my favorite green Lantern Kyle, worth reading?
The story starts simple enough. Kyle lands a awesome job that he's always wanted, a cartoonist at a big paper. Of course, his life isn't so simple. Soon after the manhunters come down and grab the green lantern and bring his ass to space for some torture. After that arc we have one of a craze green lantern go bad and now using the yellow ring. Kyle calls upon the Justice League in his time of need and it all comes to the clash of gods verse a crazed person.
Good: Love Kyle. The dude is just a regular guy trying to do his best. Also, due to having a huge imagination, the things he forms to fight are great. Hell, at one point he summons Gamera. It's so cool. The art also stays up for the most part. The fights can be super epic too which is nice. I also like seeing John being a mentor in a lot of ways it works better for his character.
Bad: The love angle storyline is okay. Nothing special but it's building towards something nice. The backgrounds are just okay, weakest part of the art. Nothing feels huge in stakes so far.
Overall, fun adventures with my favorite Lantern. Will read more since Judd has a way to have fun dialogue even with okay plots. A 3 out of 5.
