This is basically a road trip adventure story for Green Lantern (Kyle Rayner) and Green Arrow (Connor Hawke). They apparently retrace the steps of a previous Lantern/Arrow team up story. Plot was absurdly wrapped around a search for Kyle Rayner's father, who had left him as a child. The guys visit a fringe town and get into fights with the cops and uncover an evil plot to destroy the country while Kyle gets manipulated into launching a dangerous satellite. The whole thing is a mess, frankly, and it felt like DC was compelled to run a story that tried to help kids who'd never known their parents deal with some of those emotions. The only positive thing I have to say is that GL's conjured up creations looked pretty cool; otherwise you should save your money and skip this book.

This is a pretty garden variety superhero story. The two new green guys, both Lantern, and Arrow, team up to deal with a crime problem. More of an excuse to have a team-up I think, than anything that makes a lot of sense, perhaps in a bid to recreate some of the cool stuff from the seventies, or just as a homage.

Really just average.

what a great idea for a book,team up the new emerald heros.to bad the story writers didn't do more with it.i found that the story was long and drawn out.it was cool that they went places the original heros went and battled some of their old foes.i just didn't get hooked on the plot.the art work was good.as much as i wanted to get into this book it let me down.i was looking for some action but only got it in small(very small)doses,i would recomend buying this book just so you can compair the adventures of both the old and new.
