-THE CROSSOVER CONUNDRUM
Ah, War of the Green Lanterns. I’ve been burned by too many underwhelming crossover events over the years. Nowadays I will rarely take the jump into a title that I wasn’t already going to read. There have been some welcome surprises, like buying an issue of Amazing Spider-Man for a Human Torch eulogy and sticking around for an enjoyable FF tie-in, and THEN having it become an extra Avengers Academy adventure. But more often it ends in disappointment. When it’s a book that I’ve actually read and dropped (in this case, Green Lantern Corps), it’s doubly painful to have to make the choice to either spend three dollars a month for disappointing chapters or to read an incomplete story. I have chosen the latter and I am mostly okay with the decision, but of course my reticence means never knowing how much better or worse it would be as a whole.
