Rebirth still feels special to me a decade later, even if this is the 5th time I've read it. Is it one long recon joint slobbering all over the legacy of Hal? Yes, a bit, I can see that now. That doesn't make it any less cool, and a mild marvel of moving the pieces into place. Shame EVS is a grifter PoS now, his pencils were great in this. Moose Baumann needs more credit for their coloring, magnifique

Man the Sinestro Corps war is just spectacle big two comics at its finest. Violence, multiple page spreads, death, and big colorful action. Chefs kiss

I can confidently say I wasn't missing much by not reading some of those earlier GL arcs I skipped besides a few pages of buildup for the war. Wanted Hal Jordan is kinda a free for all with a bunch of D tier characters fighting Hal in Russia. The star saffire issues are eh at best, Acuna on art is a nice touch tho, no bad art in this book. Now onto the good stuff, the actual war.

Finally, more space adventures, and Ivan Reis! The definitive GL artist of this era imo! Some of the larger DC universe tie in stuff here I glossed over, this clearly was around infinite crisis, but the actual mission to rescue the missing lanterns was exciting, and to see the evil Hank Henshaw again. Now we are cooking!

It's becoming more clear to me Johns is just messing around with hoky silver age stuff cuz he can. I did enjoy the Green Arrow team up issue vs Mongrol's son, that was a good throwback. I still don't like how John's writes Batman, but taking on a dumb villain like Tattoo Man is just dumb enough to work for a issue. Up next, the rescue mission!

Recharge is still amazing, but I'm going to re read it when I crack open the GLC book. These first few arcs of the main book seem so pedestrian in comparison. Manhunters, coast city, hector Hammond and the weird goblins, and slightly powering up Black Hand. It's not wow-ing me, maybe there's a reason I didn't feel bad for skipping the earlier stuff.
