Tai discovers the power of the Green Lantern when his grandmother passes on her jade ring to him. With very little training from the other Green Lanterns, Tai tries to stop vandalism in his neighborhood. But there is an even bigger threat hiding right under his nose, and Tai will need his friends support while he learns to harness his new powers.
I loved this comic from start to finish!
Tai is such a deep and complex character. His close relationship with his family is at the heart of everything he does, and there is a huge emotional aspect to his story that really drew me in. Tai is Vietnamese-American, and his family heritage is important to him. I loved seeing the rich Vietnamese culture, and the traditions of kindness and generosity in his family.
The artwork is vibrant and colorful, with that signature green standing out in contrast to the other colors. I like the sharp lines and clear panels, with lots of expressive reactions from the characters.
The plot has plenty of action, backstory, mystery, and even comedy. Tai and his friends are a hilarious trio, and I loved their fun dynamic. There are some very serious and tragic scenes, some heart-warming happy moments, and some funny one-liners that had me chuckling as I read. It's an excellent blend with a strong story-telling style!
I really enjoyed this comic/graphic novel! It's perfect for middle grade or teen readers, but adults will enjoy it too!

I loved this graphic novel! The artwork is colorful and vibrant, showing the clear action and the emotional responses of the characters. It really brings the story to life and creates an energetic mood.
The plot is excellent, with many moving parts that propel the story forward. Each scene is interesting and full of excitement and mystery.
I loved Diana's young character! You can really feel the struggle she is working through as she tries to figure out who she is and what her place is among the Amazons. She has such a strong personality, and her courage begins to blossom even while she is fighting for her own self-worth. Her emotional reactions as she interacts with other characters are powerful and pull the reader into her shoes.
I really hope there will be more graphic novels about Young Diana!
