1.0
I will attempt to be gentle here so bear with me, but to give you an idea of how little I enjoyed reading this comic I'll start by saying that it vacuumed away all my will to remain conscious and I fell asleep in between issues.
I've never read or seen anything with the Green Lantern characters previously, and disappointingly I don't feel this is the best starting place for people new to their world since I was confused until I got to the point where I largely quit caring. The protagonists failed to leave me with a good first impression, which was heftily the fault of the cheesy dialog. Maybe the characters are purposely written to sound ridiculous and their phraseology is some sort of slightly endearing running gag, but from this vantage point it's impossible to determine if that's the case.
The only part of these issues that I did happen to like was some of the art, it pushed the scenes to an almost achievable level of being powerful and dynamic that I wish the writing had been able to uphold.
