Looks good.

Shows promise. Sinestro as a white circle is an interesting concept. Note the parallels, however, to the Abin Sur story.

How many origin stories have they done for Sinestro now that are completely different? 3? 4?

Not enough, that's for sure.

Isn´t this one closer to the original one, where he was an archaeologist?

I was really hoping his wouldn't be an origin. Some of the villain tales haven't been origins (e.g., Rogues, Two Face).

I have no idea what you are talking about. Frankly, I fully support a new origin story being put out on each GL character at least twice per year. I also think the issue should come with 17 variant covers too. lol

This origin (well, OK, I'm just going off the preview) seems to bear at least a passing similarity to one of the other origins we've seen.

I just hope this doesn't end up further whitewashing Sinestro's past. I don't really much care how he became a GL, I'm more interested in how he became a villain, since in my mind that's the role he belongs in. So worst case, in my mind, is that this would retell his fall in such a way as to make it seem like he was wrongfully expelled from the GLC.

Nope. If anything, the opposite.
Not bad over all, even if Hal looks like Mr. Universe in some panels.

You're right. I liked this. No more "misunderstood hero with the best of intentions". The fact that Lyssa Drak portrays him as such, to me, serves as the final nail in the coffin of that view.

And, unless my memory is faulty, this origin, of how he got the ring, actually was almost identical to one of the earlier ones, not a new origin. Which is a welcome surprise.
