Summary: For lovers of Barry and Hal!
Comment: Fantastic stories that feature Barry Allen as the Flash and Hal Jordan as Green Lantern, in their earlier days. A little glimpse into the kindred spirits of two of DC's most legendary heroes and their fun, adventurous, and at times trying friendship.

Your appreciation of Mark Waid's excellent work here will be much greater if you already have a love for these two characters, however this is a great read for anybody wanting to get to know them.

Summary: Flawed and funny characters....
Comment: There is always a debate between comic fans as to who is better: Marvel or DC?

Marvel usually wins out because it is believed that there are more flawed, or 'down to Earth' characters.

Reading this very interesting entry with The Flash and Green Lantern, we see the goings on with two friends as they deal with issues in and out of uniform (particularly Hal Jordan aka Green Lantern): Friendship, financial woes, living up to expectations...(as both The Flash and the Green Lantern meet, and spend time with their predecessors).

I personally didn't really get into these two characters until recently. (I only had a passing interest). Also, with all the superhero films out in the theatres: 'Fantastic Four' and 'Batman Begins' I have gained an interest in all superheroes from both Marvel and DC....(and other publishers)....and pretty much a bigger interest in comic books.

I recommend this book. It's a quick read, and very enjoyable.

I also recommend JLA: Year One, which kicks off the relationship between The Flash aka Barry Allen and Green Lantern aka Hal Jordan....

Summary: I Wished That This Story Would Go On FOREVER!!!
Comment: Mark Waid and Barry Kitson made me a believer in the Silver Age characters with this book. I've always been a Golden Age and Modern Age comic fan. For some reason or other, I'd never gotten around to reading the Silver Age John Broome creations (namely, Hal Jordan's Green Lantern and Barry Allen's Flash). This book changed all that.

Mark Waid understands these characters very well. And he writes their unlikely friendship very well indeed - even surpassing, in some ways, the Dennis O'Neil and Neal Adams pairing of Green Lantern with Green Arrow in the 1970s. For the guest-stars, we have the Golden Age Flash (Jay Garrick) and Green Lantern (Alan Scott) putting in an appearance to guide or "build a bridge" with their Silver Age counterparts. And it's always neat to see another Hard-Travelling Heroes tale (drawn eerily like Neal Adams by Tom Grindberg). Fan-fave villains, Sinestro and the Star Sapphire also appears, rounding up this collection of tales.

Finally, I love the way Waid sums up the characters' chemistry with each other : Hal admires the Flash's freedom and Barry's discipline. Barry admires the Green Lantern's discipline and Hal's freedom. They sort of complement each other in their dual identities and makes the pairing a lot richer. I wished this story never ended...

Summary: Dull story telling and drab artwork combine for a snoozer.
Comment: Tremendously mediocre work. Spend the money on dinner instead, it's more memorable.

Summary: Mark Waid at his best
Comment: One reason old DC fans love Mark Waid so much is because of his real attention and devoted care for the company's old Silver Age icons, like the Hal Jordan Green lantern and the Barry Allen Flash. Both characters were killed off by the company years ago in favor of hipper new versions, but Waid shows what a mistake this was by showing enormous depths behind this old pair of Justice Leaguers. The cocky, skirtchasing Hal Jordan and the staid, reliable Barry Allen always seemed like the most unlikeliest of pairings, but Waid gives a plausible account for how two such dissimilar men could actually become the best of friends. The best story, by far, is the last, which analyzes the differences between Barry's utter devotion to his dead wife Iris and Hal's neurotic ongoing longtime relationship with his troubled boss Carol Ferris; it builds beautifully off of years of characterization and plotting by former FLASH and GREEN LANTERN scripters (in particular Cary bates and Steve Engelhart), and offers the return of one of most greatly missed Silver Age DC villains, Star Sapphire.
