I'm a big Kyle Rayner fan from way back, so I really like this series, which has the Green Lantern team up with all the other corps of the emotional spectrum. And if you don't stan for Glomulus, don't @ me
This seemed more like a cross-over volume for Blue Beetle than it did a supporting title for the GL universe... That it was kind of nice to see some focus on the Blue Lanterns. Larfleeze starts to become entangled more into the plot as well.... Meh. What plot, really?It's support material for others storylines, so I guess I shouldn't be expecting so much from this series.... But, I mean, Kyle Rayner is a significant character in the DC universe. If they weren't going to treat him with dignity, t...
For what it is, it's a decent book.That doesn't mean I think anyone needs to run out and buy this thing, by the way. Although, the best thing about it is still the art. I'm not talking about anything mind-blowing, but with so many colors in use, it really is a quite beautiful volume.Now, if you're not a fan of GL, this isn't for you. It's not a good jumping off place for anyone who hasn't been following this story relatively closely for quite a while. In fact, I'm pretty sure even if you are a f...
In this volume, Bedard begins to wrap up some of the threads from volume one (specifically the identity of the ring thief and the threat posed by the Angel of Vega) while attempting to set things up for future volumes. One strength that Bedard has is making the many characters in a large ensemble cast each have unique personalities (and not necessarily ones that correlate to their color in the emotional spectrum): by crossing lines in such a way, Bedard unifies a group that is normally at odds.I...
Pretty good second volume after a great first volume. A bit messy jumping from one mini story to the next so that you're not really invested in any of those stories. It's just kindve hard to care about what happens. Great Art. For GL fans only!
A well drawn but slight title. Good enough to pass the time but not anything special.
This volume was messy at first but the ending got me hyped for what is to come. So as expected, a new race comes into play and they want to get rid of one of the lanterns group. Sadly it's the Blue Lanterns. The nice guys who only help people. WHAT THE HELL, MAN!? But we gotta do what we gotta do and the new Guardians all team up to protect them against Blue Beetles crazy Scrap race people. Like I said the start was jumbled and too much happening at once. Now as easy flowing as volume 1. But luc...
Reading this straight after the first volume is the best way to fully appreciate it, as it works as one story. After the heavy volume, this one serves are more of a payoff to things that were set up. Don’t worry it does it’s own thing as well, Kyle goes back to earth bumping into (view spoiler)[Blue Beetle (hide spoiler)]. Which was a nice foreshadow to what was going to happen to the blue lantern home world. This is still a Kyle Rayner lead book, this time Bleez does get a little more love whic...
The New Guardians have to find a way to defeat Invictus,while they are being hunted themselves.They find out that Sayd stole the rings from the Lanterns of various corps to make the team and avenge the loss of emotions of Ganthet under the hands of the guardians of Oa.It felt slightly less without Hal Jordan but it was quite good.
I have to say I'm a complete Green Lantern converter! I've never really been a huge fan up until I read Blackest Night about a month ago. I've been reading the Green Lantern title along with this and both are stellar. There's a lot of things that make this book so awesome and there's not enough time to list them all. It's packed with action and twists and I enjoyed every moment of it. The art is amazing and as always the colours make this book stand out.I don't often give books 5 stars but this
They could do so much good in the universe if the corps united. Such a shame it fell apart.
This remains to be a rather odd book as we finally get a bit of an explanation for why these different lantern corp representatives were brought together, but naturally, it's not a satisfying one. It's the superhero equivalent of the romantic comedy trope where the two get together under false pretenses and when the truth comes out, it all falls apart. This book ultimately ends in this manner, but as to why remains a little unclear.There is the blatant statement that something is targeting the d...
As a side note, I would totally buy a print of the Glomulus character sketch in the back of the book.
Today looks like the day where I show my appreciation for under appreciated comic books. The general public will most likely not be able to name a single character in this book, and that is more than fine. This is an example of a comic made for comic book fans, so in love with a world, that they will spend money on a story featuring the most obscure of characters. I am one of those types of fans, and I love the world of Green Lantern so much. There were MANY times, before the new 52 started and
I love Kyle and St. Walker. The journey here is everything I want in a comic book, and the writing delivers.As we come into Rise of the Third Army, this builds into the foundations of one of my favorite books in the New 52
The Reach vs. The Blue Lantern Corps, Larfleeze vs. Invictus.
It's weird - there's a lot that happens in this volume, including epic battles (and the unexplained reappearance of previously dead characters) and universe changing ramifications. But it doesn't feel important. I don't understand what happened - the stakes just don't seem to be built up (and it feels like part of the story is missing - maybe it was in the Green Lantern volumes). Kyle and his rainbow team go from a tactical retreat into facing down an invasion of the Blue Lantern's home planet.
I love the Blue lanterns and I’d have liked this volume much more if not for a blunder by the writer. I feel like there were a lot of missed opportunities here. Khaji-Kai should have gone from Blue Beetle to Blue Lantern. Narf narf. It looked like the natural direction after the loss of Shon. I do still appreciate that the nuance to the power rings are explored. For instance, it was fun to see Arkillo mad at his ring for summoning constructs of dead angels, which is exactly what Invictus would
Ho-hum, "Lanternkyle" and his rainbow brigade follow the multi-coloured brick road all over the universe to recharge their batteries. Literally.Results in a Blue Beetle crossover...completely unnecessary. It made more sense now, having read both volumes it appears in, but still...I see that BB is tied into the baddies that attacked the Blue Lanterns, but what does that mean? BB is long cancelled.Red and Green have an interesting sexual chemistry going, want to see where that goes...but no such l...
Tony Bedard's multi-colored Lantern book is still good but there is too much going on here. I'd love to see the focus be more streamlined onto just a couple Lanterns and not the entire spectrum at once. I also feel like this story has been told before. The Blue Beetle single issue needed more exposition but served its purpose. The art overall was good and a decent step up from the first volume. The series is very dependent on a very good knowledge base of what came before and that's tough for ne...
