DC Comics is doing some great things these days in the realm of superhero comics for kids. Green Lantern Legacy both acknowledges the vast history of the Green Lantern and allows for a future of all new directions. It carefully balances heroism and kid concerns. Tai has school obligations. He has troubles with friends and the looming potential loss of his family's business. At the same time he's learning how to be a hero and faces off against a real villain. Many comics featuring kid heroes look only at friendship or minor villains. This book doesn't hold back on any front, making it reminiscent of various iterations of Spider-man. While it's largely introductory, setting up new readers with the idea of the Green Lantern Corp and threat of Sinestro, the potential is there to take this series to some very cool places.
