i think the last comic book i bought was when they redid part of the marvel universe with the heros reborn series. i do buy wizard from time to time for a good read and to add fuel to my creative mind for my drawings, and have seen how they were bringing back the original GL.
the one thing that i find shocking is the whole identity crisis and the ramifications of it. the story sounds incredible, and i may be tempted to buy the trade paperback
ok...now thinking about it, i did by the trade paperback of Origin (wolverine) and thought the story and art was just incredible

Fancy you should say that,.... because they 'splain it in this series.
I won't "spoil it" though, unless you want me to read and tell.
Yeah, trade paperbacks are great - except when you buy them and then they come out with a hard back, or you buy a set of them and they then put the set together in one volume. That's happened to me with Kevin Smith's "Bone" series: I've got the individual comics, and the set of 9 trade paperbacks, and they just came out with a fully bound book of the entire run (signed). Bastards!

nah, i found the gist of the story, so you cant spoil it. the act itself i found amazing for them to put in a comic strip, but then how they take care of it, and have been taking care of stuff sounds intriguing, and from what i have seen WW doesnt take kindly to it

Well, and Batman is pretty pissed off, which seems to be the mode the DC writers prefer to have him in (ever distrustful), while Superman is forever painted as the wussy (forever hopeful).
I'm all about Green Arrow though, and the Ollie / Hal combo. If Green Arrow and Green Lantern are in a book, I'm all over it.
I haven't bought any DC books in quite a few years, and the only comics I had been buying up to about the year 2000 were indepentant-ish (Roman Dirge "Lenore", Kevin Smith "Bone", or books like Gloom Cookie or Serenity Rose from Slave Labor Graphics....)
The original CD "Superfriends" (Justice League) line up though, when they mix it up in some special thing, always seems to suck me back in ....
... bastards. $2.50 per book. I remember why I stopped collecting (sitting around and waiting for 12 pages at 2.95-3.95 of 5 or 6 titles was TOURTURE). I got too old and impatient
Oh, I like Deadman as well. Bascially, Dennis O'Neil, Neal Adams, Marv Wolfman, George Perez, Carmine Infantano, and Gil Kane go along way with me, along with Frank Miller.
But yeah, Green Lantern (Hal Jordan) 6 part series...... they are pulling everyone back from the grave for this one it seems....
