For the shortcomings of Blue Beetle, I forgive Tony Bedard as Green Lantern: New Guardians was a geat comic to read. Tony Bedard really captures the voice of Kyle Rayner, or as I like to call him, the best Green Lantern ever (suck it Hal Jordan). A tendency for many writers is to make all characters of the same family exactly like each other. And in the Green Lanterns, this is somewhat true. Guy Gardner, John Stewart, and Hal Jordan all have very similar personalities. And while that somewhat makes sense, as the Green Lantern rings look for similar qualities in their soldiers.But Kyle is different. He's more cautious, smarter, and is less brash. But he still has incredible will when he needs it, and all of this is shown in issue #2. While it may not be super-evident, if one went through this comic and at every choice Kyle makes, asked "what would Hal/Guy/John do in this situation?" one would realize that in most cases Kyle would make a different choice (and often the better one).
