Green Lantern: Emerald Twilight/New Dawn
Maybe is a guilty pleasure of mine, but I really enjoyed a lot this tale about the fall from grace of Hal Jordan, the greatest Green Lantern, his turnin'into evil demi-god Parallax and the first career days of Kyle Rayner as the 90s GL.There are here all themes that inspired the recent blockbuster Geoff Johns' GL run: the corruption of the hero, the (temporary) destruction of Guardians and Corps and much more, in another of DC 90s killing/mauling of one of its main heroes trying to gain more readers.And Kyle Rayner's part was a real good one too, a youngster becoming the last and only Green Lantern and moving with entusiasm and fun... (view spoiler)[before they both died together with his girlfriend Alexis in one of the most brutal and controversial death in the comics of that period, opening a long series of "women in refrigerators" killed/raped/worst just as a device plot to put the hero on a path of vengeance/rampage.
