Green Lantern/New Gods: Godhead

While this collection was pretty much a standard Green Lantern storyline.... it was the farthest thing from a standard New Gods tale. While I get the idea of omnipotent beings not giving a damn about lesser beings as they go about their day-to-day drama, it doesn't really ring true with High father and his ilk. In this story, the New Gods are posed against the Green Lantern Corps in such a way that they are actually sinister and villainous. This version of the New Gods really have no compassion whatsoever... it just didn't work for me. Especially since, by the end, everything feels so sugar-coated and tied-up with pretty bows.
The parts of the story that dealt with Kyle Rayner and crash course into White Lanternhood, as well as the chunks of story involving Sinestro and Hal Jordon, were actually quite good.
Godhead doesn't really impact the GL universe that much, so if you want to skip over it, you probably could.
2.5/5

It was like the High Father hadn't already gone the war path before, like when he found the Source. I don't think the author ever read any of the original Fourth World stuff by Kirby.
