Green Lantern: Legacy by Minh Lê and Andie Tong is an origin story. Tai Pham and his family live upstairs from his grandmother's store. She emigrated from Viet Nam during the war and made a life for herself and her family. To the observant reader, she's also a Green Lantern.

On the night before his grandmother's death, Tai finds her ring in his room. He tries giving it back and she refuses. Instead she recites the all familiar phrase.

Pretty good origin story for Tai, the Vietnamese Green Lantern. Wouldn't mind seeing a more full story with this character.

I'm Chinese, but I'm also the son of immigrant parents, so it's cool to see a superhero with a background like my own.

I really enjoyed my time reading this graphic novel! The story, while feeling a little rushed in the beginning, created an exciting new origin story for Tai. I was surprised by the change in age since most Lantern iterations are late teens or adults, but I believe this makes the morals of the Green Lantern story more accessible to all ages. This story boasts wonderful themes of family, friendship, community, and legacy! 

The art style was vivid in color and well drawn, and while not the kind of style I'd expect from a children's/YA graphic novel, really played into the theme Minh Le was going for.

I've read a handful of graphic novels with my 6-year-old. This one has been the favorite so far. Easy-to-follow storyline, great art, good message, etc.
