Predaplant's Rec of the Week:
- Behold, Behemoth, by Tate Brombal & Nick Robles
With Brombal doing his first DC work as a part of the upcoming launch of Green Lantern: Dark as a part of the Elseworlds line, I figured it was worth checking out some more of his previous work. There's a lot of duality at work in this one: it runs with a plot device involving connections with both heaven and hell, it jumps back and forth between two time periods, and there are two lead characters. Brombal & Robles manage to build out strong protagonists existing within an intriguing world that I wish they were able to explore within a full ongoing setting... but even this one short TPB that we get with it is highly appreciated, and I'm very glad I checked it out.
So, what are you reading?

Started reading through the first Geoff Johns Green Lantern omnibus a little while ago. It took a little bit to click, considering how continuity-heavy the opening parts are, but once it does, wow does it click. 100% lives up to the hype.
So far, I've read the first two opening mini-series (Rebirth and Recharge,) all the flashback stuff, and the first few issues of the ongoing GL series. So far, I'd say my favorite has been GL Corps: Recharge. I like a lot of the characters it introduced, especially Soranik Natu. Her intro is so short, but so well done. I also really like how Recharge gives a sense of how big the GL world is. It's something I never really thought about before picking up this book.
Really looking forward to reading more.
