Y'know, I stared writing a long, drawn-out post about how "Green Lantern: Rebirth" isn't a very good comic book, but I ran into the same problem the I had in my months long "Flash: Rebirth" post, and the never released "Secret Invasion Secret Sucks" (although that was because my 60+ scans got lost in a hard drive crash and I'll be damned if I'm going through and getting them all again). I find that I really like to complain, and I really like to read long, entertainingly-written complaints, but I don't like the amount of energy it takes to write those entertainingly-written complaints, because it is a LOT.
So, while I could point out all the plot holes, retcons, cliched dialogue, mischaracterization, obvious author favoritism, dramatic speed bumps, and overall unpleasantness, I've managed to boil down exactly what's wrong with "Green Lantern: Rebirth" into one sentence:
It changes Hal Jordan's theme song from "Highway to the Danger Zone" to Linkin Park's "Crawling."
Think about it. It fits the "Green Lantern: Rebirth" and the New Hal PERFECTLY.
There's something inside me that lurks beneath the surface/Confusing/Consuming
I've felt this way before/So insecure
Fear is how I fall/Confusing what is real
With that in mind, here's a montage of "Green Lantern: Rebirth" panels dubbed with "Crawling." The only good montage was in Spanish for some damn reason, but trust me... you don't need to know what they're squawking.
