Blackest Night Bust: Green Lantern Hal Jordan

Sitting on a plane with a 2 hour and 55 minute delay is a wonderful way to end 3 weeks of chaos, exhaustion, and

So, I apologize. I apologize for the delay. I apologize for the lack of communicating. I apologize for not taking better care of myself.

But did you see this!!!!!! My opinion on this series may be biased, as I truly enjoyed this series, yet I never liked Green Lantern before this. I guess that should speak volumes.

Zimm's Two Cents
I've been waiting for a Green Lantern statue / bust, and whether you realize it or not, I have given some of the previous statues the benefit of doubt - as I really, really want a Green Lantern statue and/or bust. With that said, this may be the one. I could really get into collecting the entire line of busts from this series.....except maybe Rage.

And Love.............not sure about avarice. Hmmmmmm. Guess I will take them as they come.

Points in Favor
  • Incredible colors.
  • The little pieces of detail. The different lantern symbols, the creases on his costume.
  • It's Hal Jordan. (Yes, I know. I am not a lantern-junkie, but I do love the classics.....or at least this classic. Not the Flash classic. Sorry about the sidebar there.)
  • His lantern symbol is 3-D.
  • There are going to be 12 busts released throughout 2011. What a collection! What a way to release them. Bowen take notes!
Points Against
  • DC is still having some trouble with the paint around the hair and face.
Recommendation: Buy...BUY! BUY!!!!! Not necessarily certain if this is a Hot Buy, but if you are listening Tommy, this is a BUY!

Note: Tommy is my dealer. You can find him at Best Comics.

Note to Robert and Baynard: I'm stuck on a plane and did this to pass time. Ignore all typos and any issues that you might have with my grammar.
