REVIEW: Green Lantern #23.2: Mongul

- 1 comment
Posted in: Green Lantern Reviews

We now enter the second week of DC’s Villains month and for the Green Lantern titles, the focus shifts from our new friend Relic to a old staple for the DC Universe. That villain is the leader of Warworld, Mongul. This should be stated right off that bat before this review can get underway with the contents inside, this issue does not tie into Forever Evil nor does it seem to deal with the upcoming Lights Out crossover next month for the Lantern books. Instead this issue that is 100% Mongul and that might be a good or bad thing depending on the type of reader who buys this book. Now co creator of Mongul Jim Starlin and veteran artist Howard Porter reintroduce Mongul to the New 52, but the question is do they do an effective enough job? Let’s open page one and find out.

The time has finally come for evil to reign over the DC Universe. Now while many readers will recognize most of the villains that will have their own one shot for the second anniversary of the New 52. However most of these villains are not “new” by any means, BUT Green Lantern readers have been introduced to a brand new character known only as Relic. Needless to say that Relic has captured many readers imagination and the anticipation has been building for the particular one shot. Now does the book give us any details on what Relics’ universe was like? Does Robert Venditti give more depth to Relic as a character more so than we have seen over the past several months? Well let’s open page one and find out shall we?

REVIEW: Green Lantern New Guardians #23


Posted in: Green Lantern New Guardians Reviews

While the other Green Lantern books have been relatively more action packed with a lighter tone, that can’t be said for New Guardians. With the introduction of Relic a great sense of action dread has now fallen over this title. Relic is shown as an unstoppable force with a goal that has given readers not only a brand new interesting villain, but his goal is what many Green Lantern fans have been clamoring for. It seems that with Lights Out will come the destruction of the emotional spectrum and in Green Lantern: New Guardians the corps members suffer it’s first loss. Let’s open page one to find out who it is shall we?

REVIEW: Green Lantern Corps #23

Do you know what the most difficult aspect for any creative team in comics is? Keeping the momentum when the book starts off red hot. We now enter month 3 of Van Jensen and Bernard Chang’s stay on Green Lantern Corps, and it goes without saying that GLC has become the fan favorite title among the main Green Lantern titles. Van Jensen has done a wonderful job of not only delivering justice to John Stewart as a character, but he also has excelled at balancing John’s personal character arc as new training officer with the new organizational shift and the ramifications of said shift. Now the question is, can Jensen and Chang continue the momentum? Well let’s open page one and find out shall we?

REVIEW: Green Lantern #23

We are now into the third of month for the duo of Robert Venditti and Billy Tan and it seems they are finding their footing, as drama continues with the battle against Larfleeze, the death of Green Lantern under Hal’s leadership, and the escape of a newly christened Star Sapphire. Needless to say, Robert Venditti is taking Green Lantern book in a positive direction for the book, but maybe not for Hal Jordan. It’s clear that three months now, this particular series is on a slower burn approach then the rest of the corps books which isn’t inherently a wrong way to tell a story, but in fact distinguishes it from the three other books. The question that should be ask, can Venditti and Tan keep going at this pace while satisfying new and old readers alike? Well let’s open page one and find out shall we?

LIGHTS OUT AND GAME OVER?!?! Well that’s where the Green Lanterns’ titles are heading and facing their first non emotional spectrum villain in Relic. However before the actual event begins, the reader should be given some insight into our nefarious foe. While of course that is the easy to type, the execution of said introduction is much tougher to achieve. A single issue can make or break a new character. Will Justin Jordan and Brad Walker be able deliver an exciting yet terrifying new villain to the Green Lantern mythos? Who is Relic? What is he for? What does all this mean for the rest of the Lantern Corps? Well let’s dive in and find out shall we?

I believe it’s fair to say that last months Green Lantern Corps issue was the most acclaimed among the other Lantern titles, thereby giving the promise of a better issue the following month. They established the role of the new guard while bringing in new characters and a hint to how they will function in this diverse cast. However as with anything serial in nature the question is, can Van Jensen and Bernard Chang continue the momentum from the last thirty days? Well let’s charge our rings and find out shall we?
