REVIEW: Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps #7


Posted in: Hal Jordan and the GLC Reviews

 

Can you believe that the time has flown by so quickly? I mean shipping a book every two weeks will make it seem that time is somehow moving faster, but it’s time to conclude the first arc of H&TGLC. It’s no secret that out of the two books dedicated to the mythos of Green Lantern. This book is dedicated to older readers who have an affinity for the days of old. Yet at the same time Venditti isn’t making the series unfriendly for new readers who may have only know about Green Lantern from other media. A remarkable feat and let’s see how this final arc wraps up, and there will be spoilers in this review. You have been warned.

Posted in: Green Lanterns Reviews

 

As the year winds and the weather becomes colder (well hopefully it does). Our minds begin to remember the fun times, the dramatic times, and what we’ve could have done differently. Chances are most people will end focusing on why the fates didn’t favor them. Why must they suffer while others are enjoying their lives? For most people, they shrug off the doubt and worry and they move on to the next phase of their life. For some the bitterness never leaves them, poisoning their minds. What exactly does this have to do with Green Lanterns? Read on to find out. Warning there will be spoilers going forward. You’ve been warned.

REVIEW: Justice League #7


Posted in: Justice League Reviews

 

Before reading this, if you’re in public take a look around you. Chances are there are people walking about going about their daily lives, seemingly unaffected by whatever problems the world has thrown at them. That’s the thing though, more than likely they are battling some inner demon while they commute to work. Feeling the weight of the world on their shoulders knowing they have to continue their daily lives, almost as if they have to put on a mask to hide what’s really going. Remember kids, despite the powers the Justice League are still people. There will be spoilers going forward, you have been warned.

REVIEW: Hal Jordan & The Green Lantern Corps #6


Posted in: Hal Jordan and the GLC Reviews

 

Growing up in the state of Texas, children are taught at a very young age the definition. Whether you were a Longhorn and you were raised to see Boomer Sooner as the enemy, or you grew up in Bryan Texas and the boys in Austin needed to get a beat down the day after Thanksgiving. Robert Venditti is tapping into the visceral nature of the rivalry between Hal Jordan and Sinestro. A conflict that’s been almost nonstop since 1961. Now after a few months of buildup, the rivalry is officially renewed. Warning there will be spoilers, you have been warned.

REVIEW: Justice League #6


Posted in: Justice League Reviews

 

Fear. Yes I realize that’s not a complete sentence but let’s go with it shall we? Fear is the one factor that we all share despite our many differences, being afraid is one of our common bonds. When it comes to the world of superheroes, exposing a heroes fear is nothing new and it’s a trope that has been done in comics. Which leads me to ask the question. What exactly does Hitch have in store for this newly formed Justice League? Given that I wasn’t satisfied with how the previous arc ended, my expectations aren’t to high now. Spoilers are to follow, you have been warned.

REVIEW: Green Lanterns #8


Posted in: Green Lanterns Reviews

 

Can you smell it? It’s the start of the most wonderful time of the year!!! Now many reserve that phrase with winter as the decorations of various holidays, flood store departments as cash registers sing with the sound of the American way. For me, I’ve always preferred Fall since it won’t be too hot nor to cold and I can wear shorts and feel the gentle breeze upon my legs. With fall also comes Halloween, which is where we find both Jessica and Simon this time around as they search for this new Guardian. There will spoilers going forward so read your issue before going forward. You have been warned.

REVIEW: Hal Jordan & The Green Lantern Corps #5


Posted in: Hal Jordan and the GLC Reviews

 

It’s the machine that never stops, the battle between good and evil will be a staple in human history till our ultimate destruction and the roaches take over. This may seem a bit nihilistic when I’m simply reviewing a book which main driving focus is between the rivalry of Hal Jordan and Sinestro. Sometimes one must take a step back and examine what makes this particular confrontation different than the times before? Are both characters in the same mindset than their previous encounter? It’s time for a little self examination before Hal and Sinestro fight once more. Final warning, there will be spoilers going forward read at your own risk. You have been warned.

Can you believe that Bryan Hitch and Tony S. Daniels’ first arc on Justice League comes to its conclusion today? Despite this being the second concluding arc I’ve read from DC this month alone it still feels weird that it’s only been a few months since Justice League relaunched in this post Rebirth world. The quicker release of issues can certainly allow for more arcs over the course of a year than the standard six month/six issue model that readers are currently used to. Either way let’s see how Hitch and Daniel’s wrap up their first arc of Justice League! Warning spoilers are to follow, you have been warned.

REVIEW: Green Lanterns #6


Posted in: Green Lanterns Reviews

 

It really isn’t a secret that I’ve had mix emotions on what Sam Humphries has brought to the Green Lantern mythos. The addition of Jessica Cruz has mostly been positive (with the exception of her curling into a ball last issue) but given that Simon seems to tapping to powers that no other Green Lantern before me gives me reason to pause. It’s a delicate balance when a creative team wants to leave their mark on a character while also respecting what has come before. While I’m the biggest fan of what Baz has been given, but it’s to early to judge for all that! For now be sure you read your issue before continuing further.
