Well, my first issue of Green Lantern Corps has been out for about a week now and I think it's safe to say that the reaction has been overwhelmingly positive. I've yet to read a single negative comment online and I spent a good chunk of time reading different message boards and reviews the other night, seeing what people had to say.
Here are a few links that are demonstrative of the voices of the fans...

If anyone runs across a review online, feel free to post a link in the comments section.
It's very gratifying and good for the ego to see something I worked so hard on received so well by the people who plunk down their hard earned money to read. One point I would like to make, however...
A lot of people, after enjoying my first issue, seem to be jumping on the Champagne bandwagon and suggesting that DC replace the regular writer, Dave Gibbons, in favor of me.
That's insanely flattering but you guys are CRAZY!! Dave Gibbons is comic book ROYALTY and we're all lucky to be getting the guy to write (and sometimes draw) the book on a monthly basis. Believe me, it's much easier to jump into the mix for a few issues, throw everything at the wall, and walk off stage hopefully having made a big splash instead of a big mess.
Mr. Gibbons is in the trenches, month in and month out, patiently developing a longer term plan for the book. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the story that he's weaving. I think when he's finished his tenure on the book, you'll be glad I was only interrupting things for a few issues.
Seriously. I'm not even in his league! At least not yet...

PS...Can someone explain to me how to post a photo to my profile?
Keith try this in your profile by going to edit your profile.
(img alt="put description here" src="http://www.whereyourphotois.com/?.jpg" border="0" /)
All one line use <> instead of()'s. Host your photo somewhere and change the code.

Thanks for the kind words, Keith. Really enjoyed the issue and looking forward to the rest of the arc (even though i've read the scripts!)
