Evil on Earth will have a harder time escaping sight in this newly (re)birthed DC Universe, as the planet’s Green Lantern contingent has upped its ranks. Geoff Johns and Sam Humphries bring their combined storytelling light to the Green Lantern mythos, their latest debut focusing on the greenest of Lanterns, Simon Baz and Jessica Cruz. Green Lanterns: Rebirth #1 offers a great first look at two as of yet underutilized characters, in turn providing a welcome hook for further adventures yet to come.
Given that he first appeared all the way back in 2012 Simon Baz is hardly “new”, but despite his time in the Corps and subsequent stint on the Justice League of America, the character in many ways still feels very much like a rookie. As such, his pairing with the new newly deputized Jessica Cruz makes perfect sense. This first issue does a great job of exploring the pressure and expectation each character feels at being the next in a line of Earth-based Lanterns, their eventual team-up offering an excellent segue into both the Green Lanterns title and the mythology at large. It also provides a solid starting point from which to explore their development both individually and as a pair, their unique back stories well presented and informative for readers new and old alike.
