REVIEW: Green Lantern #42

 

The theme of corruption via power has been prevalent since Robert Venditti took over the book over two years ago, this month. While Hal himself has not had to deal with himself in recent memory, he’s not a complete stranger to this very idea. While the aspect of Hal holding a weapon made by a crazed Guardian was largely ignored, it’s something that needs to be addressed sooner or later. Yes the disappearance of the Corps does take priority, but can we at least deal with Hal carrying the Power Glove as a weapon? Oh…Venditti does address it in this issue?….Well I feel foolish.

REVIEW: The Omega Men #2

 

One month ago it seems that the majority of people who read The Omega Men #1 loved the issue, with me being one of the detractors. I’m going to be honest, I was prepared to just drop the series after the first issue. After pondering for a while the fate of Kyle Rayner and the hopes that we’ll get some answers on who these characters are and maybe a hint as to why Kyle was killed in the first place. So did Omega Men #2 address the problems I had with the first issue? Let’s see shall we.

REVIEW: Green Lantern: Lost Army #1

It’s no secret that the recent volume of Green Lantern Corps was my personal favorite out of the three main Lantern titles. However just like Rome, nothing can last forever as Sinestro scribe Cullen Bunn takes the reigns. I’ve read his past stuff before and while I’m not his biggest fan the quality of his work speaks for itself. Now we are aware that something has happened to the Corps, but that’s the alluring mystery that can bring a reader to a new #1. It’s what brought me here in the first place (well that and I’m required to review it so….)

JLA Writer/Artist Has Green Lantern Story Planned; Hopes for Seven Arc Run

 

Bryan Hitch’s JLA just hit the market today and he’s already making waves. In an interview running on DC’s digital show DC All Access, the writer/artist says this about his long term plans for the book:

“The way I’ve been kind of equating it to Brian Cumming, my editor, is that it’s like Game of Thrones. Where you have a single massive sprawling volume, which is fantastic, but is part of a much much bigger story in itself; it’s an epic,” Hitch explans. “If I had it my way, I’d do seven story arcs where each one of the core characters gets to be upfront more than the other and kind of leads that core story. Yes, I do have ideas for all of that and beyond. They’ll have to pry this book out of my cold dead fingers.”

REVIEW: Sinestro #12

So while there isn’t a brand spanking new #1 planted on the cover of this issue, Sinestro #12 acts and is intended to be a jumping on point for new readers and a fresh start for ongoing fans. Which is a bit weird since 12 issues means this is the end of a full year’s worth of story. Read on for how well the creative did with setting that fresh start up and whether they hooked this new reader.

REVIEW: Earth 2 Society #1

 

IT’S A NEW DAY (no not that shitty WWE stable) but a new day for heroes and people of Earth 2. No matter how remarkable or disparaging a comic book event is, the fallout from said event. A new status quo that can push the book into a bold new direction. Most of the time I follow that big event and I’ll have and understanding on where the book is going post event. Due to me not reading Convergence it’s going to be interesting to see how much of Society is recap and how much is just running with the concept.
