Green Lantern #2:
Another exciting, albeit short, issue where Hal Jordan is given another chance(well, sort of) from Sinestro of all people. Hal Jordan is really treated as the arrogant hero here just like he is in "Justice League #1". Yes, Hal Jordan is cool but I really fancy reading more about Kyle Rayner. To me, he is a more creative Green Lantern and when your power is what your mind can create through willpower, Kyle has it in the bag.
Overall Grade: A-
Superboy #2:
Now this is a good Superman title. Superboy is learning right and wrong from people he shouldn't be. His powers come into question a few times in the issue and makes you wonder how Superboy would fare in a fight with Superman. Yeah, Superman is far more experienced but with the advantages Superboy has, it'd be interesting. Anyway, the supposed villains in this are typical but as to who truly created Superboy remains a mystery. What will Superboy do with the knowledge of how he came to be? I guess we'll have to wait and see.

"Green Lantern #1" & "Superboy #1" -- Reviewed
I actually really enjoyed these two comics and look forward to reading "Animal Man #1" very soon. Good story telling all around for the most part.
"Green Lantern #1"
Continuing from where we left off previously, Sinestro has been chosen by a green lantern ring and Hal Jordan has been 'de-ringed' and sent back to Earth after having to kill one of the guardians to protect everyone in the universe. Hal is shown having trouble not being Green Lantern and adjusting to human every day life and Sinestro is shown checking in on his own planet and where he left the Yellow Corps. Creative, engaging writing drive this story and the very end will want you asking for more, much more. I can't wait til the next issue.
Overall Grade: A
"Superboy"
The story of Superboy picks up fast and we learn more and more about his abilities and his morality. This really reminded me of Flashpoint's "Project Superman" but on a much lighter, optimistic tone. The only complaint comes from the scientist that safeguards Superboy and her reasoning for doing so. Don't want to spoil too much. All in all, Superboy's potential is dubious but the journey of how he comes into being great will be fun to read and watch.
