in fact, the premise behind the story is not bad. the implementation is crap, forced, contrived crap at that. it was really bad.

the best thing about this book was that kyle’s attitude seemed to change after this storyline for the better. was it a direct effect of this i can not say, but i would bet it was an ever-present editorial mandate: kyle as a uber whiny bitch just is not working. lets just make him a regular whiny bitch.

thus an extremely bad storyline was born.

how many of the books i get now will i look back on in 5-10 years with this same sort of disdain? ugh….

I thought, "this guy sucks," and didn't buy anything with his name on it for a couple years. Luckily, I got over my first impressions around the time the second Y paperback was released.

It turned me off on BKV for awhile. The whole upshot was that Oblivion was a character Kyle had made up when he was a comic-reading kid. Turns out Oblivion was power Kyle had let seep from the ring, and the power gained malevolent sentience. The team-up books were hit and miss, and the finale was pure crap. Later on, during Winick's run, the Oblivion power was instrumental in Kyle's initial transition from Green Lantern to Ion...a move that stunk at first, but Winick made it work until GL #150, when Kyle exhausted his Ion powers to resurrect the Guardians into kiddy form. Now that was kickass. It wasn’t really good, especially at the end. It turned me off on BKV for awhile.

So Green Lightning and/or Kyle know they're in a comic book? “Green Lightning tells him that “Kyle” (whoever he is) mentioned that when Oblivion first appeared in his comic book, he caused the residents of a “nearby” planet (25 trillion miles is nearby in cosmic terms, I guess) to go insane.”
