I know Green Lantern is soo last week but, is anyone enoying Daniel Acuna on the art as much as I am? I get the impression that once this mounting battle with the Sinestro Corps begins that Ethan Van Sciver is taking the wheel again. Van Sciver is very good, and I can see he pours alot of himself onto a page, but every couple of pages you run into some uncomfortable part of the image. When there going for this particular look on the book I think Reis is a better pick; look at his covers.

If Acuna is just a fill in I certainly hope he's in on the rotation and we see him return. The stories he lays out are beautiful, and I think they'll stand the test of time. When people look back they'll se how well this guy captured the moment in each frame.

I'm looking forward to the Sinestro Corp stuff. I've been wanting to jump on board for a while, and this is the time to do it.

Hopefully the Sinestro Corps will get me excited about GL again. Although, the backstories so far haven't done it for me.

I really want to like Green Lantern though, but I just can't seem to fully get into it. Is it my antipathy for Hal Jordan or am I just whacked?

So who's the guy that's Neal Adams-esque? I dig his stuff. I'm more of a Rayner guy I'll admit, but these recent storylines at least sound intriguing (Abin-Sur's son and the Sinestro Corps). I'm not sure I'm willing to chase down all the Sinestro tie-ins but if they package it into a nice little trade I'd be willing to give it a shot.

I think Acuna's art is excellent. Unfortunately, I don't think the stories have backed that up so much with the last arc. It started out OK, but that last story was not a 3 issue story no matter how bad you stretch it.

Agreed, could have been done in two. I got the feeling they were stalling a bit to fit the Sinestro Corps war event.

While I like ACuna, I think someone else would be much better fitted to draw the Sinestro Corp. War.....which I am REALLY looking forward to.

I love Acuņa! I don't want him to leave this book. I'm loving his colors..

Check out Uncle Sam and the Freedom Fighters. I don't when its coming out in trade though but I loved him the second I saw him stuff there.

I so can't wait for Sinestro Corp.

I just can't get into the Sinestro Corps backup stories. I tried to read the first one and it didn't hold my interest at all. It just feels like filler at this point.

I like Acuna's art, I think it's pretty, but sometimes I have a hard time figuring out what's going on. I really want to like this book but storywise it's been dragging and I'm about ready to drop it. I'll give it one more issue.

I'm not really digging the Sinestro Corps. tales either, but I believe the arc will be awesome.

I agree in that his art is hard to follow. Beautiful, but I've gotten lost more times than I'd like to admit the last few issues. I really hope someone else is doing the art for the Sinestro arc.

I'm really looking forward to Sinestro Corps--I'm hoping for some interesting Johns meta-story stuff along the lines of Rebirth.

I've still got to read Rebirth damnit. I had it in my hands the other day at the store and it lost out to Fables vol 8.

I haven't had any major problems with GL lately. It's not as good as it has been but it's still really fun. Then again it was the combo of Geoff Johns and Green Lantern that got me into DC. So I'm a little biased.
