This was worse than predictable, it was a let down. I actually wanted my money back from the comic book store after I read it in my car.

On a less negative and depressing note, I DO like how King Shark looks

Date: 2011-07-01 10:02 am (UTC)Sinestro's retcon has been great; Hal's, not so much. After re-reading some old Kane, Grell and Staton stuff (stories fair-to-middling, but they feel less plotted-by-marketing-majors than current DC product), I liked him better when he was an aimless screwup driving a truck and hanging with Arissa and that mini-Starro thing that sat on his shoulder, instead of the guy who sucker-punched Batman and put him in his place. But aimless truckers don't sell books, so maybe Hal can kick Bane and Mongul's respective asses next, sans-ring of course 'cuz he's just that awesome these days.
As the godawful, 'goddam' All-Star Batman put it, "I've seen more intelligent hockey pucks. The clown makes oversized EGGBEATERS and MOUSE TRAPS and VACUUM CLEANERS -- when he could set the whole world right with that RING. What a damn IDIOT." Motto, Brucie. Motto.

Date: 2011-07-01 11:54 am (UTC)Apparently the cockpits of these fighters is made of some magic material that can handle wind resistance at Mach 4 and depressurization at 20,000 feet, but can allow someone to hear someone talking through it over the roar of the wind at those same conditions. King Shark apparently is so good that he can ambush a vehicle that is travelling at supersonic speeds (for those in the audience, a normal F-22 can regularly achieve Mach 1.2-1.5 without using afterburners....that's 768+ mph) without being torn to shreds on impact and without being flayed alive while hanging on. And how anyone or anything survived that impact without a scratch and managed to gracefully descend (not to mention they're so close in the last panel their parachutes should be entangled and them plummeting to their deaths) is beyond me.
I mean, this scene doesn't even try to deal with suspension-of-disbelief. It's Silver Age Level silly, while trying to pretend it's not.
Also, apparently Hal Jordan is a dick with or without a power ring.
