This is how new eras are written. Opening with the arrival of Mr. Terrific to the parallel dimension, the surprises don't make anyone wait as an unexpected party greeting him is revealed. That sequence alone was worth the $2.99, but is by no means the best part of the story. Just like the 50's ushered the Silver Age with the introduction of Flash, this issue echoes that same grandeur by marking the dawn of an aptly named new Age with the debut of its own speedster.

While all this happens, the much discussed spin on Alan Scott's character unravels smoothly, only to be disrupted by three words: magic, train, fire. Any fan of his knows what this means and what comes next; Flash may be the first in this world, but Green Lantern will be the greatest. Nicola Scott and company deliver A+ art to make of this book an absolute must have.
