The Green Lantern ongoing series is quite possibly the best superhero title of the past few years. Geoff Johns really brings his A game to this book and Ivan Reis art on the current arc, "Secret Origin", is excellent.

Secret Origin's premise is simple - a retelling of Green Lantern Hal Jordan's origin - but Johns adds extra depth to the characters and details to the story which tie it in to 2009's "The Blackest Night" event. And if last year's sleeper hit "Sinestro Corps War" is anything to go by, this will be the one event you will definitely not want to miss.

On art duties Reis is equally adept at drawing spectacular double page spreads and tight multi-panel pages. His storytelling skills are second to none.

Overall a superb package - first comic I read every month - a definite 5 star book.

See for yourself:
