In this interesting conclusion, there is much left to be desired. Maybe, some of these stories will flesh out in the forth coming “real time” stories in Issues number 36 and beyond, but the conclusion to the Secret Origins story seems too open ended.
In this issue, Hal Jordan makes the Guardians upset by his questions—it seems that Hal Jordan represents who Americans often are. They ask the hard questions and they seek for the truth. We Americans don’t put up with a lot of double speak and smoke and mirrors—we must have straight talking. For Hal Jordan, this nearly gets him expelled.
I appreciated the prophecy concerning Sinestro—it was a good foreshadow of what is to come—or what has happened to this point in the “Real Time” time line. I think it will be interesting to see how Johns uses this story arc to build his story leading to the Blackest Night. There is the consistent undertone of something big—but is it the Blackest Night? Or is it the Sinestro War? Or does the Sinestro Wars lead to the Blackest night? They are interesting questions that we will see answered through the months and even years ahead.
