REVIEW: Green Lantern Corps #39
It’s hard to believe that this is the penultimate issue for Green Lantern Corps. Which is a shame because I personally feel that this squad of Green Lantern’s could have been something special, despite the crossovers occasionally halting character progression for big action set pieces. Yes other readers will have their favorites but as a relative new reader to GLC as a book it’s been a pleasant ride since May 2012. It seems a bit redundant to write this here since this isn’t the last issue but it’s what I am felt as I read the issue. So enough of sentimental nonsense it’s time to find out what up with lies in the shadows.
REVIEW: Justice League: Throne of Atlantis
After Justice League War was released, I initially enjoyed the movie and looked forward to the next installment. When I learned that DC Comics was going to make an animated sequel featuring Aquaman as the star, I was more concerned as writers seem to have a harder time creating an entertaining story for him due to his past appearances in TV shows and how many people see Arthur Curry as more or less a joke character. Was I right in my concerns with making Aquaman the bad superhero so many portray him to be, or does the movie give him proper justice? Click below to find out. Click here to read the full article.
REVIEW: Earth 2 World’s End #13-17
With the recent announcement that Earth 2 will reach it’s conclusion at the end of March, the clock has begun to tick down on the heroes of Earth 2. When you either read it in issues or just look back at how little time has passed since the book debuted in October. It’s been a roller coaster of action and emotion. It’s going to be fun to see how the writers of Earth 2 wrap up the series over the next two months.

REVIEW: Green Lantern #39
You know what day of the year that could potentially ruin a day? No it’s shopping with only two days before Valentines Day, from my perspective it’s actually yearly evaluations. To some people yearly evaluations are nothing special and do little to nothing to make you more efficient at your job. more than often it’s a trivial process where both parties just want it done with. So imagine if you had to stand before The Guardians of The Universe who will decide your fate. That doesn’t sound fun in the least and that’s the position in which Hal finds himself. So with only one more issue before Convergence starts, what lies for Hal Jordan?

REVIEW: Green Lantern New Guardians #38
The writing on the wall doesn’t bode well for the future of Kyle Rayner my friends. Time appears to be appears to be running out for the resident White Lantern, as he still continues to struggle with his new relationship and the ultimate fate of his powers. Only three issues remain before DC dives into Convergence, and New Guardians will bid farewell. What exactly will Kyle have to endure? It’s going to be a long three months before any of these will actually be answered, but until then let’s all together countdown the pages of Kyle Rayner.

REVIEW: Green Lantern Corps #38
While Hal Jordan was forced into some shore leave, the opposite seems to be happening to John Stewart. No rest for the weary I guess? If there was an aspect to Godhead I disliked was shift in focus from the recruits. I can understand why the shift in focus was done and I’m aware they were still involved but the lack of character of growth that’s shown on the page was missed. So hopefully with this new year and Godhead in the rear view mirror, the recruits will shine once again. So let’s see what Van Jensen has in store for John and his platoon.
