Green Lantern 1

The new relaunch Green Lantern title starts off with a whopping bang. Sinestro is inducted as a Green Lantern ring bearer once again. All this biggest threat to Green Lantern corps is now a Green Lantern. Take that. Sinestro with his red face is pissed off with the guardians for doing. As always the the guardians has a purpose and that is for Sinestro to seek redemption. But it seems that not all the guardians are in agreement to this action. Sinestro travels back to his home planet Korugar to find his people enslaved by the Sinestro corps. A Sinestro corp pounced on Sinestro and was shocked to find Sinestro in the new green outfit. But the deceptive Sinestro made short work out of him.

On earth, Hal Jordan is a normal guy again after being relieved of his ring. Hal has been away from earth so long leaving a lot of bills to be paid and an empty credit. Hal even got himself in trouble when he witness a lady getting assaulted. Hal  barging into the lady's house by leaping across the opposite apartment only ended up disrupting a movie shooting and the lady is in a acting scene. Hal gets bailed out later from jail by his long time girlfriend Carol Ferris. A date between Hal and Carol ends up bad on some minor issues leaving Hal with a lot to think about. Finding an eviction notice on his door once he's back wasn't bad enough, Sinestro shows up offering Hal a sinister deal.

Overall a solid issue to new readers introducing the main villain and hero of the Green Lantern universe. The cool rendering of Sinestro by Doug Mahnke projected his sinister looks thus makes this character the ultimate focus of this and ongoing issues.
