  • @anothercleverusername992
    @anothercleverusername992 Рік тому +2

    I prefer the much later on _"Green Lantern: Secret Origin",_ but only because of the additional plot points of weaving in Atrocitus causing Abin's crash, the War of Light/Blackest Night stuff, and Sinestro and Hal's blossoming friendship/rivalry... The rest is borrowed from this in a major way, and that's because it's not a bad story in need of major rework- which for the era is saying a lot.
