Isola is a taste for a deeper palette, one that savors rich flavors intermingled. This book is so well-crafted that any element could be stripped away from it and the book would still be just as engaging and enjoyable. That is the true testament to the storytelling, as well as the talent, and the love behind Isola.

Green Lanterns is not without fault. The dialogue is fairly expository at times and a binge read of the book as a whole feels a bit repetitive. The characters however, lift the overall product above and beyond such minor problems and feel inconsequential. This series lives within the DC universe and within the parameters of said world, yet feels fresh and engaging. Green Lanterns should at the very least be on the radar of comic fans who prioritize character exploration over contradiction.

All told, Analog feels like a new telling of a familiar story. Its definitely worth hanging around for another issue or two to see what separates this iteration from others, or just to curl up in that freshly washed blanket of old. Either way, Jack is bound for varying levels of adventure and snark, and could very well prove worth taking that journey with.

With that, Isola successfully sets the hook. It should be quite enjoyable to see the events that got Captain Rook and the tiger, Queen Olwyn, to this juncture, as well as to join them as they embark on the road ahead. The richness of the world, the long journey spanning the continent, and the evolution of Rook are set up in such a way that passing on this book simply isnt an option.
