Well DC sure does like to shock you lately, especially if you are a Lantern fan.\u00a0 In issue #12 we lost two of the greatest as well as well-known Lanterns the universe has ever known.\u00a0 Then we start issue #0 going back to 9-11 when our world was forever changed.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Issue #0 focuses on a Muslim family in the years following 9-11.\u00a0 The member of the family we stay with is named Simon Baz.\u00a0 It turns out he has had a rough life due to the hatred that engulfed the states after the attacks on the towers.\u00a0 He was always harassed because he was an Arab-American.\u00a0 He did however put himself in some hot spots himself though.<\/strong><\/p>\n

For example, he has stolen a van.\u00a0 Not just any van, a van that has explosives in it.\u00a0 What dumb luck.\u00a0 To top it all off, he is being chased by police and he needs to figure out how to get rid of the bomb without hurting civilians. He thinks on the move and crashes the van in an abandoned auto factory.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Simon never had time to flee; he was arrested right away and was interrogated like he was a terrorist.\u00a0 The Feds and Homeland security tried to pull the wool over his eyes, but he is a very smart and resourceful man.\u00a0 He knows no fear at least that is what it seems.\u00a0 As they are \u201cinterrogating\u201d him, a green power ring comes to his aid because of his ability to overcome fear. The next thing you know, he is gone and the manhunt begins.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I will admit, I am a big Hal Jordan fan, but this character as well as storyline can prove to be very exciting and worthwhile.\u00a0 Besides, when you get this issue you will see the fates of Sinestro and Jordan are not as it would seem from last issue, or is it?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I definitely give this issue a strong rating; let\u2019s say 12 out of 10. If DC plays their cards right, Simon Baz can be a great addition to the Green Lantern universe.\u00a0 With Geoff Johns at the helm, I believe this will work.\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n
