I Love Guy Gardner. I read this whole arch (and your really missing something if you experienced this as a one off). I can only imagine missing the point of Guy Gardner overall if I hadn't started at issue 1. Really I would have been all like "what the hell was that? How can they justify publishing it, really?" As it is I feel like giving it five stars just for the fact that many would miss that point, but really, while I have a lot off affection, it's not that good, even a little tired ONLY IN A COUPLE BITS! equally I can't give it three stars either, because it is quite good. All of that to say, it is more to my taste than it is actually good. But given a chance it's clever, and funny and charming, in a Guy Gardner kind of way. I can't see where this sort of comic could come to popularity these days (popularity such as it was even in the day). I suppose the 90's had Deadpool, but the sincerity of Gardner is something Deadpool roughly doesn't have and it makes Gardner a very different animal. Think John Wayne come any late 80's Kurt Russell Character.
If anyone can point me in the direction of more like these, particularly ongoing series these days, you would have my gratitude.
