Collecting issues #1-6 of the current monthly comic book with the addition of pertinent sections of <strong>Green Lantern Secret Files<\/strong> <strong>and Origins 2005<\/strong>, all the stories are written by Geoff Johns, and the eagle-eyed among you can probably pick up his first hints and plot-markers for both the Sinestro War and Final Crisis epics to come.<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8216;Flight&#8217;<\/em> is illustrated by Darwyn Cooke, providing some additional character-building flashbacks whilst fixing Hal&#8217;s current place in the hierarchy of GL&#8217;s currently on Earth. The eponymous <em>&#8216;No Fear&#8217;<\/em> introduces the sexy rival jet-jockey Jillian \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Cowgirl\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Pearlman, the sub-plot of the slowly rebuilding Coast City (razed by the space-tyrant Mongul and now a new town seemingly incapable of attracting residents) and sees Hal&#8217;s new employers messing around with very dangerous alien technology that leads to an all-out battle with a new breed of robotic Manhunter, courtesy of Carlos Pacheco and Jes\u00c3\u00bas Merino.<\/p>\n<p>Ethan Van Scriver returns for the next chilling yarn as paralysed psychokinetic Hector Hammond and the super evolved predator The Shark find themselves victims of alien meddlers, before the dead and very unhappy Black Hand returns to genocidally stir the mix, lavishly rendered by Simone Bianchi, all ably assisted by inker Prentiss Rollins.<\/p>\n<p>Green Lantern has always been a lynchpin of the DC universe and whilst these action-epics won&#8217;t win too many new readers, they do successfully provide the faithful readership with high quality superhero fare.<\/p>\n<p>\u00c2\u00a9 2005, 2006 DC Comics.
