I'm not necessarily excited about it but I'm interested. I'm gonna give it a shot.

I'm excited about idea of the new gods and gl having a cross over. I'm excited Soule is taking charge of the event.
However, I'm not excited about Venditti's writing. I'm not excited that Hal is being treated like a second class citizen, appearing only in 1 book.
A 3 act structure is pretty standard.

I think I'm going to check it out. It gives me the time to get more familiar with the New Gods because I don't know anything about them. I remember Orion and Lightray from the DCAU csrtoons but that's it.
I'm interested, but I'm waiting for the trades. I can't really afford to get anything more than the main GL title right now.
I'm super excited about Godhead.
I'm new to the DC universe, and love Infinity Man and the Forever People, really enjoyed Orion in Wonder Woman, so I'm eagerly looking forward to delving deeper into the New Gods mythos.
WHO DAT?!!
I have little interest in the Lantern books outside of the rare issue or two but I've recently started reading through the various Fourth World stories from various points in DC's publication. I'll likely just jump into this to see what's going on and compare it to what I'm currently reading.

You aren't the only one. Probably the vast majority of GL fans and/or New Gods fans are looking forward to it. And if you are a New Gods fan there isn't usually much to look forward to as they seem to show up here and there every few years with nothing else. The question was just asked in the wrong place for positivity, the CBR message board where DC fans (?) congregate to gripe about everything DC does
No. Venditti's GL is at best mediocre, and this sounds like it's borrowing the Fourth World trappings for some generic sci-fi/fantasy story about collecting all the rings.
This is just a general thing that I've noticed over time, but why do people think Venditti doesn't understand how the rings work? Aside from the limited light resource (which doesn't, to my knowledge, contradict anything that came before), the only thing I can think of is Nol-Anj harnessing a Sapphire ring because over her love for her clan. I always thought the Sapphire rings being empowered by romantic/lust based love was stupid, so I have no problem with that change.
