Reading through the origin story of Hal Jordan, Green Lantern, we see his growing relationship with Sinestro. This relationship puts chills on a reader—while at the same time brings sympathy toward Sinestro. Leading to the question of whether Sinestro was a mad man, or a visionary.
While this back ground story doesn’t justify his evil response nor his shady techniques—it makes you wonder…”does he truly have a moral agenda that matches my own?”
In this book, we see the message from Abin Sur. The message of warning about Arocitus and his presence on Earth. This sets the tone for a new light shining on the Sinestro message and his agenda to change the rules of the Green Lanterns to be able to kill when necessary.
When read as a part of the seven issue arc, “Secret Origins” this book truly opens the mind’s eye to the deeper story behind Sinestro and the challenge of Green Lantern.
