Reviewing comics is never work to me, but I was beyond enthused and even a little bit honored to review the final issue of Geoff Johns' Green Lantern series. Green Lantern has been the most integral part of my time as a comics reader right up there with Archie and Y: The Last Man. It is of course sad to see it go, but when an ending is this good, it's hard to complain.
"Geoff Johns ends his Green Lantern masterpiece with a resounding 
blockbuster bookend. Just wow! After nine years and over one hundred 
issues, he took a cheesy character whose weakness was the color yellow 
and turned him into one of the most consistently thrilling, compelling, 
and outright enjoyable heroes in comics. He did this by bringing the key
 element of the emotional spectrum into the fold. The rings now take 
something special to wield them – rage, avarice, fear, will, hope, 
compassion, love – and over the course of this series, Johns gave us 
plenty of reasons to feel those same emotions right along with the 
characters on the page. This final issue will take you on a tour of the 
entire emotional spectrum, and that’s exactly the point of the journey 
of Hal Jordan."
