Summary: Even Better Than The First Part
Comment: I find this sequel to Emerald Dawn to be even better than its predecessor. This story is ultimately about responsibility. Hal Jordan takes responsibility for his failings (recounted in Emerald Dawn) and goes to prison. There he meets a fellow convict Willie and a pre-machismo Guy Gardner!

The highlight of this story however, is SINESTRO. This story shows Sinestro training Hal to be a Green Lantern who believes in order. It also recounts Sinestro's tragic fall from grace - for taking his responsibilities a little too fanatically. This foreshadows Hal's later fall for the same reasons. The original Silver Age Sinestro was a little two-dimensional as a villain. Here, with the added teacher-disciple ties with Hal and the story of his fall, we have a Sinestro that we can understand (and perhaps even symphatize with).

I do not understand the many complains about Giffen and Jones in Emerald Dawn I and II. These two stories served to "humanize" the otherwise 2D-characterizations of Hal Jordan and Sinestro. In view of Marvel's recent "Ultimate" versions of their characters, these two TPBs stands as the "Ultimate" version of DC's Green Lantern.

Summary: Sinestro Done Right
Comment: First, Emerald Dawn was a terrific book, and its sequel, while falling a little short of its predecessor, is a worthwhile book in its own right.

This trade starts off with Hal Jordan serving the first day of his prison term (see Emerald Dawn for that tale), as well as a new mentor being dispatched to train Hal. It is none other than Sinestro, future antagonist of the GL Corps, whom still a very respected member as of now. While crusading his message of "Order over Chaos", it soon becomes clear that Sinestro seems a bit...off. This leads further into this tail of his tailspin away from the Corps, and helps define exactly what the relationship between he and Hal was.

A great book for Hal Jordan and Sinestro fans, Emerald Dawn II is a true delight.
