TEAR JERKING PAGES # 1: COAST CITY'S LIGHT





GREEN LANTERN #25 was part 11 in The Sinestro Corps War which featured some of the best of DC’s rouge gallery. The elite bad guys joined forces with the evil Sinestro. The battlefield was set on Earth in the resurrected Coast City. The evil invades the earth and the hero Hal Jordan (The Green Lantern) orders the people to evacuate because the he didn't want see lives lost. The people of the Coast City decided that home was worth fighting for and made a bold decision when they were asked to evacuate the city. They stood behind in one of the most moving moments in comic book history in this reader's opinion. The windows of Coast City shined with GREEN LIGHTS in support of their home, their hero, and to honor the lives that were lost many years ago. The people of the Coast City showed overcame the fear of past. The city was completely wiped out during The Reign of Superman which caused a chain reaction of unfortunate events. The Coast City's Resurrection did not come overnight. There were moments where it was hard to find the words Coast City in the DC Universe. This was the moment when the Coast City showcased it's WILL and I felt it was the true moment that Hal Jordan was resurrected as a hero. It surprised Hal Jordan and I think it surprised me as a reader because of the history. I was really moved as a fan because there was I wanted to believe in Hal Jordan again and I think this moment made me believe again. It was a nice addition to an awesome story that showed a community raising up against those whose worship evil's might.
