Green Lantern #11 feels like the issue that this series has been building towards from the get go. Everything that the creative team has been doing up to now has positioned this series to where it is now, with a feeling that each plot is coming to a crescendo at the same time. What a great time to be a lantern fan! Nine out of ten lanterns.
2024 marks the 30th Anniversary of the DC Comics "Zero Hour" event which heavily featured Hal Jordan as Parallax scheming to rewrite history and the efforts of DC's heroes to stop him. In honor of the event's anniversary DC is releasing an 80 page special on August 28th which picks up on the original story and the fact that there has been a version of Parallax still out there.
With part 2 of the Crisis trilogy just released, a teaser has appeared that gives us a glimpse at the final chapter, including the inclusion of Aya from Green Lantern: The Animated Series in one of the sequences in the teaser trailer.
Mark D. Bright, also known as MD Bright or Doc Bright, passed away on March 27, 2024 at the age of 68. Bright was a prolific artist as was the primary artist on Green Lantern volume 3 up until "Emerald Twilight". He also provided the artwork for both "Emerald Dawn" miniseries as well, returning later in his career to draw portions of the "Parallax View" storyline.
Green Lantern: War Journal #7 is another great issue of the series, slowing the pace down a bit in order to get a few pieces of the puzzle ready for what's to come. Phillip Kennedy Johnson and Montos are doing great work here, which I hope is getting recognized by comic readers.
The Podcast of Oa Episode 240 gets the show caught up with the Green Lantern series. In this episode co-hosts Phil Bova and Myron Rumsey discuss Green Lantern issue 8 and 9 and the revelations about the number of Earth Lanterns and the Guardians' secret backup plan! Phil and Myron also share comments from listener feedback as well as Green Lantern news.
Green Lantern #9 checks a lot of boxes for me as a veteran Green Lantern reader, and I feel like the series so far has been like the beginning of a roller coaster ride where we are just about to hit the top of the lift hill before the ride really begins. Jeremy Adams has been laying the groundwork for a great adventure and I feel like, as good as this series has been, we are just getting started.
Green Lantern: War Journal #6 doesn't quite end the first arc of the series so much and serves as a pause before taking it to the next level. Phillip Kennedy Johnson and Montos continue to shine as a bright creative duo on the series, and this issue is another great example of their creativity unleashed.
Green Lantern: War Journal #5 is another good issue from Montos and Phillip Kennedy Johnson. The series is building towards the conclusion of the first arc, and the stakes are certainly high for the planet. I think the pacing is a little off, but for the most part is certainly a must read book for me.
DC Comics has released solicitation information for comics publishing in May of 2024. There's not a lot of Green Lantern content this month, but what there is looks to be fantastic. Both Green Lantern books have absolutely stunning main covers this month and the stories are both top-notch.
Green Lantern #7 is another great entry in the Jeremy Adams run of the book and this issue does a great job of bridging the narrative from the previous one to where we are today. The true agenda of the United Planets still remains to be reveled, but the slow burn has been a great ride so far.
Green Lantern #8 might have seemed like a bit of a filler issue, but nothing could be further from the truth. Jeremy Adams provides some more clues to the larger story being created without giving away too much and the action and narrative work is supported by some great character moments. Kyle Rayner fans will be really happy to see Ron Marz's name in the credits as he provides a typically grounded story for his creation.
The Podcast of Oa Episode 238 is a very special one as we bring two generations together to talk about the legacy of Green Lantern in the form of Alan Scott. Joining co-hosts Myron Rumsey and Phil Bova are Spencer Nodell, son of Green Lantern creator Martin Nodell, and Tim Sheridan, the writer of the current Alan Scott: The Green Lantern miniseries. The conversation covers a gamut of topics including Alan Scott's origins, the current Alan Scott 6-issue series, and the Pillsbury Doughboy!
Episode 237 of The Podcast of Oa has co-hosts Myron Rumsey and Phil Bova talking about the first three issues of Alan Scott: The Green Lantern. Phil and Myron also talk about recent Green Lantern appearances in other DC Comics titles and get caught up with listener feedback.
Green Lantern #6 answers one question that has been on fans' minds and gives fans something they've been asking for for over a decade. Jeremy Adams, Xermanico and Scott Godlewski give readers a feast for the eyes in another iconic showdown between Hal Jordan and Sinestro that showcase why they are one of DC Comic's most entertaining adversaries.
Green Lantern: War Journal #2 does a nice job of balancing the character and world building aspects of the series with the overall plot. In fact, Phillip Kennedy Johnson is moving the series along faster than I expected, which isn't a bad thing. Just as the future is looking bright for John Stewart, Johnson and Montos throw us a curveball, albeit a bit of a predictable one. Regardless, this series is another must-read Green Lantern book from DC. Eight out of ten lanterns.
