I gotta call you on that, Rob. You may have thought it read terribly, but I thought it was really great. Two lines stick out to me:
1) When Sinestro is racing across the moon to confront Hal at the beginning of the issue:
Hal:I don't hear any voices. Nothing inside screaming you cannot do this. Or telling me to go and 'find' myself. No more soul-searching road trips. I'm Hal Jordan. Man. Pilot. Green Lantern.
GREAT STUFF!!! We know exactly what kind of GL Johns will be writing from that line alone.
2) Of particular interest to Kyle fans, and how he might be perceived by Hal, when Sinestro is about to do battle with him again on an asteroid:
Sinestro: I've contacted Parallax. I influence it as I influenced you. It will consume your homeworld, Jordan. You will fail your sector. And then I'll finish with Kyle Rayner. I'll kill the alley rat.
Hal: Kyle held the torch when no one else did. When no one else could.
Sinestro: Rayner is a fool. I will slice the creature's chest open and rip out his useless heart.
Hal: NO. You will respect him.
What a great exchange. I also thought the cliffhanger was typical Johns goodness. Can't wait for the final issue.
