In issues 20-21, Abin Sur followed an intergalactic killer to the Midwest of Earth during the 1880s. Sur teamed with an ancestor of Hal Jordan's and was able to capture the so-called Traitor within his power ring. In this issue, we jump to the Silver Age, we a newly deputized Hal Jordan is learning what it means to be a Lantern. Hal is also unaware that his new bling is a prison housing one of the most deadly murderers in history.
During the time from Sur imprisoning him inside the ring from the time Jordan becomes the new Green Lantern, the Traitor has developed to way to escape. But in order to do it, he must use an outside source powered by a black dwarf star: The Atom. Normally the Atom shrinks to six inches high but when he visits Green Lantern to a charity function at sixty feet tall, it's clear that the Traitor's plan has begun.
However, it will be the next issue until the readers learn just what that elaborate ruse really is.
When I finished the first story, I didn't know what the Traitor's race what. He looks Czarian like Lobo and he's just as bada$$ as him. However, his origin wasn't revealed in that storyline. Well, that oversight is corrected here as it's revealed that the Traitor was genetically altered by his race to become a one-man killing machine. The traitor before his transformation looks like a giant smurf, which is not what Lobo looks like. DC still doesn't declare what the Traitor is. He could be a Kree for all I know.
So question answered, sorta.
Worth Consuming.
Rating: 8 out of 10 stars.
