Green Lantern Corps #1 - DC

Dave Gibbons can pen a mean story. This one is no exception. He has a plethora of characters to work with and it looks to me like he's going to try to use every one. He's brought a lot of the carry over into the story from the regular Green Lantern series, and from the GL Corps mini. There's some subplots that started in the mini thats he's just picked right up on in this book. Dave definitely has a feel for Guy Gardner and John Stewart also. The dialogue with and between these characters is fantastic. You can feel all the GL Corps characters going through their learning curve. There's new teamups, and old, and they all have some adjusting to do. In typical Gibbons fashion, there's 3 or 4 stories here going on. They're all connected, but right now, they're all being handled separately. It'll be fun to see how he connects them, and how he wraps them up. This series definitely looks like it'll be a roller coaster ride. Patrick Gleason is doing a good job on the artwork. He seems to be getting a definite feel for these characters, especially all the aliens. It looks like somewhere down the line we're going to get into a scuffle with the Manhunters. There really needs to be some resolution there. Or at least throw out the mothballs, dust 'em off, and get 'em involved with the rest of the universe. This is only issue #1. I can't wait to see what happens next.
