Hal was brought back in a way that not only made logical sense, but it really set up the whole color spectrum dealio quite nicely by adding logic to it from the beginning.<br /><br />I agree that it was kind of silly to have Hal respond to Batman by simply punching him in the face. It was out of nowhere and seemed kind of unneccesary. <br /><br />The only part we disagree on is the Fear vs. Hope comparison. I honestly didn't see anything that was smashing you over the head with that comparison. I think the major problem with Batman's depiction in Rebirth is the fact that he was the only one questioning Jordan's return that strongly so it stood out. I think the punch only made matters worse as well.<br /><br />Overall, I enjoyed Rebirth and it's what got me into Green Lantern so I don't have many bad things to say about it, but I agree with most of your "cons".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4885210312043715299.post-58437853048012832802010-04-10T18:48:26.004-04:002010-04-10T18:48:26.004-04:00Wait you guys have always checked out my blog?Wait you guys have always checked out my blog?Ben F.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15356165162845382809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4885210312043715299.post-43586268771281527392010-04-09T20:53:44.963-04:002010-04-09T20:53:44.963-04:00Two things, one mark: could you review the Flash b...Two things, one mark: could you review the Flash blood will run?<br />and two Hulk you could always try doing a comic review, instead of just comic newsJozeph Duköhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08324022702727436945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4885210312043715299.post-1007447369635445272010-04-09T20:31:34.693-04:002010-04-09T20:31:34.693-04:00I am thankful for your advice I guess what I'v...I am thankful for your advice I guess what I've been doing mostly comedy but thats a bout to change.

If you're really curious I'm sure there are still issues available at your local comic store.<br /><br />Gaining followers is no easy task, and unfortunately there's no quick way of doing it. So far I've been very lucky to have a lot of interest and comments on this blog. The best advice I can offer you is to make quality posts on a fairly consistent basis, so people will want to keep coming back to your site. Good luck!Marchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10558378521891430225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4885210312043715299.post-86601187094063639962010-04-08T19:25:29.621-04:002010-04-08T19:25:29.621-04:00I forgot to introduce myself I'm Hulk (origina...I forgot to introduce myself I'm Hulk (originally Iron Man) and it is my task to get followers to my blog .

(Pardon the metaphor) Plus if you think about it Batman, and Green Lantern are opposite characters so it is obvious one would not understand the other.Jozeph Duköhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08324022702727436945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4885210312043715299.post-21675908256450813572010-04-05T23:57:04.837-04:002010-04-05T23:57:04.837-04:00Huh, only a 3.5 out of 5 for Rebirth? Wow... I p...Huh, only a 3.5 out of 5 for Rebirth? Wow... I probably would have gone all the way for Rebirth, but I can definitely understand where you're coming from, Marc. As for the whole Batman/Hal thing, I think the main point Geoff was trying to get across was that this was the same Hal Jordan pre-Parallax, not a different one, which is why he ended up slugging Bats. We should all realize by now that Geoff REALLY likes the Silver Age Green Lantern and Flash. <br /><br />I just don't know if I'd go so far as to call Bats the bad guy here... Paranoid, suspicious, unforgiving, sure, but bad? I saw Bats more as the voice of reason as opposed to the bad guy. I just don't like to think of Bruce as bad or evil... <br /><br />Bats and Hal did have some closure in one of the earlier issues of the GL series. I'm not sure how Geoff's original plan went, but maybe he simply held it off until that GL comic. Regardless of all that though, seriously great review Marc, and I'll be looking forward to your next one.x-man75https://www.blogger.com/profile/10292719455945603075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4885210312043715299.post-40223468500806555362010-04-05T23:40:58.193-04:002010-04-05T23:40:58.193-04:00Interesting that you would say that, Jozeph. I was...Interesting that you would say that, Jozeph. I was never a big fan of the direction they pushed Batman's character after Identity Crisis though, and his portrayal in GL Rebirth just seems, at least to me, like an extension of that.<br /><br />In Johns' original proposal for this series (which is provided in the back of the book), the tension between Batman and Green Lantern is brought to a much more reasonable and emotionally balanced close. I think a lot of my frustration with Rebirth comes from knowing how much better it could have been if they had just stuck with the original plan.Marchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10558378521891430225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4885210312043715299.post-21851493070580646482010-04-05T21:04:28.965-04:002010-04-05T21:04:28.965-04:00Actually, I'm going to have to disagree with J...Actually, I'm going to have to disagree with Jason Todd (great name by the way) I like that Batman is still sometimes portrayed as the bad guy, it's what makes Batman, Batman.Jozeph Duköhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08324022702727436945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4885210312043715299.post-25425169836978771762010-04-05T13:07:16.155-04:002010-04-05T13:07:16.155-04:00I agree with you all throughout this comic, and wh...I agree with you all throughout this comic, and while I probably would've given it a 4/5 I see your point. I especially hated the way Batman was portrayed. Like you said he had great reasons to be skeptical and Hal's punch was unwarranted. I hated that Batman was made to look like a bad guy while he's the only one who's suspicious. In hindsight everyone should have been a little wary of trusting Hal. But excellent review man, I doubt I could do any better, I may just try my hand at Recharge instead :PJason Toddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07796190974001777556noreply@blogger.com
