For those familiar with DC Super Heroes, this may just be the Green Lantern book for you. “ Hal [Jordan, aka Green Lantern] had been assigned the task of overseeing the signing of a peace treaty between the planet Juray and the planet Talesca.” (page 5) The two delegates are squabbling and Hal is refereeing. Along comes a third party, the Yellow Lantern, who secretly traps both the Talescian’s and the Juran’s fleets  inside a “net made of yellow energy beams” inside an asteroid belt where they can’t be seen. (page 14). Both delegates are even more outraged with the other side than before. Enter the Orange Lantern. Now the Green Lantern and the Yellow Lantern work together because “There’s nothing like a common enemy to bring people together.” (p. 26) The Orange Lantern losses the fight, the Talescian and the Juran fleets are released and their delegates are now beginning to work together. Hal’s job is done, at least, for the time being.

Graphic novel and comic book readers will enjoy the quality of the 9 full page illustrations and the 15 – 1960s style Batman television show graphic onomatopoeia  words interspersed through out the book’s five chapters in this hybrid between graphic novel and traditional short chapter book.
