The Dark Crisis one-shot is not homework that the readers will need to read to understand what's happening here. What I'm trying to capture here, especially to contrast it with the great work that Jeremy is doing in the Hal Jordan book, I'm trying to capture this blend of sci-fi and epic fantasy that we can tell in the setting of the DC Universe. I mean, there have been some really great Green Lantern stories, including by the great Denny O'Neil, that were much more ground-level kind of stories. Not every Green Lantern story is like that. To me, it's this great opportunity for the DC Universe to have own Jedi Order. But for this particular story I'm writing, I'm trying to find this really fun balance of epic sci-fi with epic fantasy that is inherent in the Green Lantern power set, their history, and their setting of being throughout the whole cosmos.
