Some thoughts about Green Lantern: New Guardians #29

Kyle is about to learn the story of the Goddess X'Hal, but is that really all true?

Kyle and Carol are left speechless after watching the amazing power of the deity and that's good enough reason to start worrying about her intentions despite of the attempts of her people to prove that she's a loving Goddess. However, not all is what it appears to be since the Godkillers have arrived to the planet and are willing to prove that X'Hal's origins might be more humble than what one might expect.

The second chapter of the Godkillers storyline and Justin Jordan continues to deliver compelling themes based on that premise.

The worldbuilding about this particular planet is quite good and you learn a lot about its culture and the deity that watchs it. The Godkillers continue to be interesting atagonists that reveal really important aspects about X'Hal that actually makes the story take another route.

One of the most important factors of this issue is the dialogue and Jordan's writing especially shines here by creating an unique voice for all of the characters. I especially loved Kyle's line:

"I have seen Gods before, I might have even been one."

Which demonstrates a lot about his backstory and personality, I'm glad that Jordan had done his homework about Kyle's past. Plus, the banter between Kyle and Carol is simply hilarious.

Brad Walker keeps contributing a lot for the quality of this storyline. I have mentioned this several times in the past but it's necessary to repeat it, his work is vibrant, creative and completely beautiful, he brings a lot to the personality of this book.

What's more to say? Another fantastic and dense read, you need to pick this book.
