I really just can't say enough about Geoff Johns. The guy is a genius. This secret origins story, with Hal and Sinestro, is fantastic. There's so many different aspects to it, you'd think Geoff had been writing Green Lantern for his whole life. Then, on top of the incredible story, we have Ivan Reis' art. Ivan is absolutely perfect for this book. The final couple pages, where Atrocitus is going after William Hand . . . and then Hal and Sinestro are trying to subdue and arrest him . . are just spectacular. They're fighting, in the rain, out in a cemetery . . and each panel, and their flow . . is perfect. Also, we have this story about the Blackest Night brewing in the background this issue. In a message from Abin Sur, we learn some more of the truth behind the mystery of sector 666. We don't get the whole story about how William Hand is connected to all of this . . but we do get some vague hints. I gotta say, when I saw that they were doing another 'Secret Origin' story about Hal, I really wasn't expecting for there to be this much about the Corps, or the Guardians, history involved. But I'd have to say that this is probably the most involved 'Origin' story I've seen yet from DC. It's fantastic. We end this issue with Atrocitus coming at Hal and Sinestro full tilt, but both of them have pretty much depleted the charges on their rings. Next issue should be pretty intense.
