Agree!! I've noticed people at Weird Science seem overly harsh with a lot of their reviews.
"FALL OF THE GODS" part three! Hal Jordan races through the cosmos hunting the speedster of the New Gods, Lightray! Hal must secure Highfather if the Green Lantern Corps' plan to protect him and the universe has a chance of survival! Can the greatest pilot in the universe chase down a god who moves at the speed of light?
While Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps #28 only nudges the plot in the very slightest of ways, the beautifully touching character beats of Robert Venditti's script almost makes you forget that the fate of the New Gods are at stake. Frankly I think this is one of Venditti's best issues he's written since taken the reins from Geoff Johns. Some people might be turned off for the lack of appearance by the rest of the Green Lantern Corps, but the it does do an absolutely fantastic job of showcasing why the titular character has his name on the cover. Ten out of ten lanterns. Read Full Review
Robert Venditti knocks it out of the park again with this issue! He is easily becoming my favorite writer in DC right now. This story is so well put together with no holes and no wtf moments. The flow of the story is so on point. Nothing moves too slowly and nothing moves too fast. The artwork is killer! Once again, there is not one lazy panel in this issue. There is so much detail and you can really see the amount of work that has gone into this title. This is what blows me away: If you read this story with no art, just words, it would suck you right in. If you looked at this story through only the art, and no words, it would suck you right in. Put the art and the words together and it is mind blowing! I truly think it is that amazing. A gigantic thumbs up to Venditti, Sandoval, and their entire team for this whole run. Definitely, without a shadow of doubt include this in your pull for the week. Absolutely brilliant. Read Full Review
Deep breath! Highfather and Lightray, Martin Jordan and Hal Jordan " both show how the relationship between fathers and sons sometimes work. Whether it is a real interaction or a vision that Hal experiences, it is clear that his father is an important aspect in his life. Hal's life as a test pilot may in some ways seems dated, but his relationship to his father is something almost everyone can understand. Thanks, dad " 8th Air Force, 1944-1947. Read Full Review
Robert Venditti and the rest of the creative team have really put together a stellar issue, with a thoughtful story and gorgeous art. Read Full Review
This issue continues the Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corpstradition of finding new ways to surprise me with how well it works. This is among DCs best offerings right now, and you should be reading it. Pick it up. Read Full Review
Get this issue. It doesn't matter if you've been reading this series; just pick it up. It mostly explains what's been happening. If you're any kind of Green Lantern fan, you'll enjoy it. The art is stunning and the story is great. Read Full Review
This issue works as a means of moving the story along in a tense and interesting way. Would have liked to get more information about the threat itself, but the reflective moments in the story work well with the frenetic art. Read Full Review
This book, much like its titular character, approaches everything in such a "kick ass first, take names later" way, it's nice to see that even in tense, high stakes moments, Robert Venditti finds a way to stop get a little emotional" even if it is in a big green fighter jet. Read Full Review
Hal Jordan takes the center stage as Robert Venditti reminds us why he's a big time hero. Read Full Review
Jordan gets High Father aboard but still has to outrace omega beams. Read Full Review
This is an issue you can skip if you're on a budget, but provides some nice emotional moments for Hal. Read Full Review
I expect more from Venditti, and he usually delivers. But this time, Green Lantern's flight fell far short of what it should have been. Read Full Review
Even though I deeply enjoyed Venditti digging into the conscious of Hal as he attempts to chase down a God. If you're a reader who wants the story to move forward, than this issue might be great in your eyes. I enjoyed what was done with this chapter, but I'm ready for the plot to actually move forward.

Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps #28 provided minimal plot progression for the "Fall of the Gods" story arc. Robert Venditti sacrificed everything that has happened to make "Fall of the Gods" so intriguing to revisit an old character plot of Hal Jordan's father means to him. Hopefully the next issue of this series can help the story turn around after hitting a massive wall that slowed everything that happened in this story down to a dead stop. Read Full Review
What if they threw a superhero race and nobody showed up? The whole issue is a race between Hal Jordan and Black Racer. If that strikes your fancy, you're in luck. Visuals are a definite treat. Read Full Review
Wow. Just wow. The best Hal story since Vendetti took over, with amazing art and a ton of heart.
더 버튼에 이어 영웅의 아버지와의 재회 이야기. 넘나 슬펏고 아버지에게 사랑한다고 전한 그 마지막 대사는 잊을수가 없다,.
Reggie Hemingway is a straight moron. Black Racer has nothing to do with this issue. Those were Omega beams fired from a Nth Metal golem that can track Highfather. So while subtle, it's obvious this story has ties to the Metal event. I hate it when reviewers have obviously not read the issue or misread it entirely and then give it a bad score... If you don't care for it fine but at least do your damn job and spend a few minutes to actually read the panels instead of just skimming through the pictures and assuming random $%&*. Jack@ss...
A touching piece of character development tucked between story beats.
Great issue. Granted, this could be seen as 'filler' but when I got to the end I was bummed as I wanted more time with Hal and his dad. Looking forward to next issue.
