Oh, and in less squealy comics news, I finally picked up GL #181. (Yes, a week late. I was serious when I said I didn't much want to read it.)

Do I need to explain to anyone the enormous logical problems with this story? Ron Marz's total and unsurprising ignorance of anything that was added after he left the book? And how incredibly insulting to Kyle the big emotional moment was?

No? Didn't think so.

I appreciated the twist in the plot, both on its own merits and that it made the villains look less dumb. And miss_porcupine is absolutely right in that it could have been much, much worse. I'm happy for that much, I really am. But it's still pretty thin comfort.

I said it after I finished the book and I'll say it now: At least Kyle's not dead. Yet. I'm not sure I trust Geoff Johns.

See, I was going to start picking up Green Lantern after I read some of the back issues because, hey! Lanterns! I'm fond. And then i realized Marz was writing and decided perhaps I would not read it after all. I was sad.

I totally agree with you here. I was sitting with my head in my hands in the comics shop. What a mess.
