Legends of the DC Universe #38

Legends of the DC Universe (1998-2001) #38




  The Traitor Trilogy ends with what might not have been the most well written or most well-drawn issue- but it sure was one of the most action packed issues ever! The Traitor is looking for revenge at the hands of the Green Lanterns of the past who have bested him over the past 150 years. Happy to oblige, Kyle Raynor, freed from exile on a barren asteroid, uses his power ring to resurrect Hal Jordan, Abin Sur, and Sur's predecessor in titanic fashion.

    The ending was both shocking and awesome. It ends the story on a high note all while paying tribute to previous chapters of this trilogy. But hopefully, this really is the end of the traitor because I think he was at his pinnacle in terms of obsession, powers, and brute strength. To continue on would start to make his appearances in Legends of the DC Universe a little tedious and then he'd start to wear out his welcome. Though I wouldn't mind seeing more of the Kyle Raynor GL in not only this book but his own title as well.

   Am I starting to become interested in reading and/ or collecting the books that chronicle his run as the Lantern? Only time will tell, but if this review was a magic 8-ball, it would have to say "outlook good."

   Worth Consuming

    Rating: 8 out of 10 stars.
