Don't know if I can do much better than Seth Fisher who has described this book as: "'Green Lantern meets Little Nemo in Quantum Wonderland. A playful, surreal, quantum physics fairytale." Apart to say that this is the best Green Lantern story I've ever read - and one that can be enjoyed with little previous knowledge of his convoluted continuity (all you really need to know is that there's a guy named Hal Jordan who has a magical alien ring that can create various effects sustained purely by the ring wearer's imagination and strength of will and you're in). Full of lush art that spirals around through detailed psychedelic strangeness and populated by all sorts of fantastical creatures - all held together by a story that tumbles and rolls around yet still says somehow consistent enough so it's not just randomness for the sake of it: this is a comic with not that much on it's mind than it's next phantasmagoric image and dreamlike wanderings on the nature of reality.
