Warning they&#8217;re will be spoilers, so this is your friendly reminder to read your comics prior to reading my review. This is your final warning.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>If there&#8217;s one aspect of Tim Seeley&#8217;s first batch of issues, is his ability to balance comedy with action. Unless a particular comic is going for a specific tone, whenever I read a superhero comic I crave for a balance. Not only does Seeley maintain a great balance between the different tones I love that it all feels natural. Having read tons of comics over my life, it&#8217;s pretty obvious when a writer attempts to be comedic and it just comes out as forced. Seeley&#8217;s comedy doesn&#8217;t feel forced, it feels completely natural and it flows effortlessly, perfect example being Jessica&#8217;s meeting with her manager about moving to waitress, but only to be interrupted by Bolphunga being a loud mouth. That opening page pacing was really well done and the moment when Jessica crashes through her place of employment (hope she still has a job) has actual impact because of the scene was executed perfectly.<\/p>\n<p>One scene that I thought was a bit weird was Simon&#8217;s &#8220;morning after scene&#8221; When you look at these two pages nothing is inherently wrong with them I just never saw Simon as someone who would sleep around via a dating app. Within context of previous issues in mind, this scene is just a further extension of Simon adjusting to his new life (and love life if this scene means anything) and similar to Jessica it&#8217;s not going well. I&#8217;m hoping this Night Pilot character comes back in some fashion either in this arc or some fashion because I really liked her designed, plus how many it&#8217;s not to often that Green Lanterns tag team with other Green Lanterns (except the Justice League of course, but besides that).<\/p>\n<p>Three issues in, and in this case it means a third different artist. I was hoping that finally we might retain some consistency in the art however that doesn&#8217;t seem likely going forward. Carlo Barberi&#8217;s art does a perfectly fine job of executing point A to point B. It&#8217;s nothing flashy nor it is terrible, I did have some issues with his art when it pertains to anatomy and certain facial expressions seemed a little muddled but those instances are few and far between. The best part of Barberi&#8217;s art was whenever he had to draw Bolphunga, as he perfectly captures the over the top nature of Bolphunga.<\/p>\n<p>Green Lanterns was already a fun comic, but the added element of Bolphunga (plus his disappointed father) bring that element of fun to a whole new level. I&#8217;m interested to see how the plot on Ungara connects with the main story, but for now I&#8217;ll just have to wait.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Green Lanterns #35<\/em> earns a 3\/5<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Ladies and gentlemen the impossible is about to occur!
