I’ve been meaning to get up to speed on ‘Green Lantern,’ mostly because of its rich history and sci-if milieu. “Rebirth” seemed like a good jumping-on point for the reader with a passing familiarity with the character.
Unfortunately, “Rebirth” is everything I dislike about superhero comics: unidimensional characters, a complex backstory that mystifies newcomers, and conflicts that always seem to boil down to a bunch of luchadores punching one another.
I spent half this comic wondering what was going on, and the other half not caring. Still, “Rebirth” is very nicely drawn. At least it has that going for it.
