Surprisingly so I must say. Keith Griffen gave him a long-suffering butler (called Stargrave) to serve as his foil and it worked beautifully.

If it does well, they could order more issues and keep the series going. Better to have a mini that became a regular series than to have a cancelled series on their hands.

I just wait for the single issues that make up a collection to be discounted, and get them then. Don't feel in any rush to buy and read.Civilian Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10978134983999101494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25675853.post-36733111986149103362013-05-14T19:59:17.472+01:002013-05-14T19:59:17.472+01:00Yeah, I'm a bit skeptical about that - he was ...Yeah, I'm a bit skeptical about that - he was the back-up story in Threshold, so I can't see why they would cancel the main series/story to replace it with something focusing on a character who has, let's be honest, been nothing more than a comic-relief-style character in the Green Lantern setting...Civilian Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10978134983999101494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25675853.post-1501875704040212902013-05-14T19:57:45.008+01:002013-05-14T19:57:45.008+01:00Yeah.

The idea for the first is awesome and the latter is written by Scott Snyder with art from Jim Lee, so count me in for that. Not too sure about Larfreeze though, and I may pick up the Green Team depending on what week it comes out. It's a shame that Demon Knights got cancelled though, Paul Cornell's first volume was really awesome.

Just 4 issues in and they already decided to can it? Way too quick for a new series starting new characters. Ghosthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05160118520611754510noreply@blogger.com
