First of all, nice story by Ron Marz. He really breathes a lot of life into the characters he writes about. And then Greg Tocchini's art is perfect for this book. Good feel, and very artsy, just like Kyle. Anyways, Kyle is still growing into his role as Ion. He's still sorting out all the pieces, and searching for his boundries. This issue he goes back to New York to talk to Radu, and ground himself a little bit. But you know that's not going to last long, with his powers and responsibilities. One of the Monitors show up this issue. He says that they need to keep an eye on him, and then blinks out. He talks to Alan, and visits the site on the new JSA headquarters. And he battles Effigy for no apparent reason. Just like Nero, they both just had this overwhelming urge to go to wherever Kyle was. There's definitely a mystery going on here. And on the final page he's chained to a stone pillar on some alien world, with a hot alien chick, thinking "This really hasn't worked out quite like I'd planned." Guess we'll see more on this next issue. I don't really know where Kyle will end up after these 12 issues, but I hope it's appropriate for the quality of character that he is. I don't think anyone every thought he would be as popular as Hal Jordan, but I think he's got quite a following of his own. The king is dead, long live the king. Oh wait, he's not still dead. He came back. Well then, long live both kings.
