REVIEW: Green Lantern #40
Put this scenario in your head for just a second. You love your job and everyday you strive to do your best no matter what obstacle comes your way. That’s how a lot of people can feel when doing something they love for a living, but eventually we all hit a wall. Sometimes a person needs a change of pace, whether that’s the best interest for the job of the individual. In the last issue of Green Lantern before Convergence that is where we find Hal Jordan. A man given leadership under a tumultuous time for The Green Lanterns, now faced with his toughest challenge yet.

Sinestro #12 JOKER Variant Cover by Joshua Middleton

REVIEW: Green Lantern Corps #40
Everyone has their tragic moments of the past, something we all wish we could change. While the initial event passes the scars remain. Sleepless nights or seemingly endless nightmares, can plague an individual who only seeks one thing. Closure. Something that will bring peace to their minds and hearts and finally be able to move on from the incursion of their souls. Which brings us to John Stewart and the planet of Xanshi. For good or ill the planet of Xanshi has been part of John for over 20 years now, and it’s brought up once again. Will this final issue of Green Lantern Corps finally bring John the closure that he so desperately needs?

Marc Guggenheim Lost Control of GREEN LANTERN Movie
Asked about the difference between working on a film like “Green Lantern” and the challenges of TV, Guggenheim said, “With ‘Green Lantern,’ we [he and Co-Showrunner Greg Berlanti] really learned the lesson of control. We didn’t have it on ‘Green Lantern.’ It got taken out of our hands at a certain point, and stuff happened. The difference between features and TV is that on TV, as a writer, you’re writing for your life. Every eight business days, there’s a new script due, and as a showrunner, it all goes through your pen. Sometimes what’s getting shot is literally your first draft. At the same time, it’s getting shot.”

It’s all about building momentum and ultimately delivering a satisfying conclusion, which is easier said than done. Without wasting anymore time, let’s take a look at the penultimate month of World’s End!

REVIEW: The Multiversity Mastermen
If you were disappointed that I didn’t review The Multiversity guidebook from last month, sorry but I honestly didn’t see much point in reviewing it. With that out of the way it looks like the pages of Multiversity have turned to a world where the The Third Reich’s dream came true. For the first time in this series, the book isn’t centered around characters who you would call “heroes” from our perspective. I mean come on we are talking about Nazi’s and a Superman that has been brainwashed by Adolph Hitler can’t possibly feel remorse right?

REVIEW: Green Lantern New Guardians #39
What is the one common enemy we as a people share? Something that no matter what your gender, race, or religious belief is, we can all understand on a primal level. Of course I’m referring to our inner demons, the voices in our heads that leads us on the road to doubt and in some cases depression. It’s easy to punch something or lash out at a external problem but fighting the voices can be a person’s toughest fight. So now imagine if those voices become tangible and their goal is eradicating you from the universe. The countdown is almost done.
