Great comic book February 14, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This comic is really, really good. It has an innovative and amazing art (sometimes it reminds me of "The last will and testament fo hal Jordan"). A walktrough of Kyle Rayner foe's, loves and friends; a nice recapitulation of this green lanterns career. And a sci-fi feeling that's fantastic. I really recomend both volumes of Ion

Great art work and story telling. If you are a fan of the Green Lantern this is the most recent trade paperback surrounding Kyle Raynor. It follows his struggles in dealing with his new "omnipotent" powers. Also revealed are some significant story points regarding the up-coming Senestro Corps War.
Great idea's. June 29, 2007

This first part of Kyle's first outing is great. Kyle Rayner was one of the better creations that came out of DC in the 90's. This book is the first steps to an eventual return to greatness, hopefully. Kyle is set up to have the potential to be right up there with the greats of cosmic heroes like Captain Marvel and the Silver Surfer from the Marvel U.
 Kyle Rayner's new destiny February 8, 2007
9 out of 13 found this review helpful
Following the events of Infinite Crisis, there have been a few shake up's in the Green Lantern Corps. Most notably is the fact that Kyle Rayner isn't quite the man, or GL, that he used to be. He's been transformed into Ion; a being of almost godlike power. With no more need for a power ring, he contains the power of the Lanterns inside him, and is the key in the Guardians' next step in perserving peace in the galaxy. Only thing is, as this first volume in the new ongoing series shows us, Kyle wakes up to find himself accused of massaciring an entire fleet in space. He doesn't remember doing this, and soon enough he has a bounty on his head, and the Guardians seem to know everything that's going on. Ron Marz, AKA the man who helped make Hal Jordan a villain and created Kyle Rayner, writes a good script here for the most part, with plenty of odes to Geoff Johns' various Green Lantern stories. There's some nice twists here and there, and Marz makes the most out of a Kyle/Hal team-up that will put a smile on the faces of many GL fans. The only real negative to Ion: The Torchbearer is the art by Greg Tocchini. In some frames it looks great, in others it looks lackluster and somewhat sloppy. Despite that, this is still a solid story that will leave you wanting more, and hopefully Marz will deliver the goods.
