Green Lantern #31
We all saw this coming, we just forgot it was coming during Forever Evil. The Green Lantern teased in Geoff Johns Green Lantern #20 is so close to being revealed! Here’s some of what Geoff said to IGN about her and Ivan Reis’ cover to Justice League #31. Spoilers below.
Do you know what’s scarier than an enemy that looks terrifying? An enemy that you can’t see at all. Well, since the Durlans have made their presence known and in combination with their alliance with the Khund Empire, you have the deadly combination of a strong frontal assault force and the unknown element of the Durlans. So when you are in a war against an enemy who won’t doesn’t appreciate the direct approach, you have to figure out how they think. Luckily for John Stewart and the rest of his squad (deputies included), one such character does exist. He is the Durlan, Von Daggle, former leader of the Green Lantern Corpse aka Black Ops for the Green Lanterns.
Oh hey look, another review on the same day! Well in case you didn’t realize it from the cover from Green Lantern this week, it also comes packaged along with this months issue of Red Lanterns! So that means 20 pages extra and it contains part two of Red Daughter of Krypton. So this will be the first official review for Red Lanterns that doesn’t involved a line wide crossover. So this will be an interesting adventure as this issue dives into the mythology that Charles Soule continues to build with the Red Lanterns.
First off before I get this underway, I want to apologize for the lack of a review last week. Comics didn’t come out and life got in the way. So it appears that this week you wonderful readers will receive not one but two reviews! The current theme that appears to be running across Green Lantern and Green Lantern Corps is “the enemy of my enemy is my friend.” We know that the Durlans and the Khund have formed an alliance and severed communications for the Corps causing all amounts of chaos, and things possibly couldn’t get any worse for the Corps right? Well we’re wrong because of three word, Red Lantern Supergirl.
The spotlight now turns to our resident White Lantern Kyle Rayner and his misadventures through the universes to find out more about the reservoir and possibly his true purpose as the White Lantern. This new direction for New Guardians has the best potential for character development and it allows a contrast for the three corps Green Lantern titles. You combine that with the Star Trek like tone that’s been established from the previous two issues and this could create a wonderful space Odyssey for Kyle and company. Finally of course it’s the potential relationship between Kyle and Carol that could prove to be the most interesting for the Green Lantern mythos. Well let’s open page one and find out shall we?
Justice League reshuffling, another trip to the future, the return of Alan Scott, Supergirl’s rage filled past, and of course Sinestro #1! Plus much more and more.
War has been declared on the Green Lanterns as of last weeks Green Lantern, thanks to the manipulation of the Khund empires and the shape shifting Durlans. So it appears that even after trying to rebuild everything from the ground up, the Green Lantern Corps can’t shake the eye of disaster. So it begs the question, what will John Stewarts response be to what looks like Hal Jordan laying out the secrets to rest of the universe therefore jeopardizing any lantern not on Mogo. While that is all well and dandy the true strength to this issue will that if it can stand by itself, and be accessible to readers who only read Green Lantern Corps and not the main Green Lantern book. Well let’s open page one and find out shall we?
Newsarama is the first to speak with writer Cullen Bunn before he makes his mark on the lantern universe with Sinestro. Check out some highlights of the interview below.
