Robert Venditti always makes sure to leave something in each arc which will have some impact on the future issues of Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps, and, in this issue, that something circulates around Ganthet.Also, in case you were wondering, the Four Horsemen in question is the one with Ric Flair.[caption id="attachment_775437" align="aligncenter"[...]
Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps #35 by Robert Venditti and Jack Herbert is the most fun I've had with a comic all year.With its emphasis on camaraderie, teamwork, and just generally getting along, this comic about four space cops with superpowered rings managed to remind me that sometimes.. superheroes can get along We can all get along[...]
