I asked folks on twitter to tell me if anything happened in this comic that I would care about, and Dan won the contest with "Hal and Barry bond in a cave." If they made a compilation of "male bonding scenes from Geoff Johns comics" it would be one of my favorite and best loved volumes ever. As soon as you start telling me about what the different color lanterns do, I fall asleep. I can't figure out if this is some kind of mental block or if there's a legitimate critique of Johns' writing in here. Anyway, if it's not apparent, I didn't pick this up and I probably won't. I generally like big DCU-spanning epics -- I thought 'Infinite Crisis' was solid and fun, and '52' and 'Final Crisis' are probably my two favorite things I've read in that universe that don't involve Hal Jordan on a road trip. So, uhh, what was I saying -- I'd love to see you guys continue to take this on so I don't have to. I have this issue where I love Green Lantern characters but don’t much like Green Lantern stories.
