Green Lantern Post Geoff Johns

Geoff Johns leaving the Green Lantern titles was a landmark moment.  So big, in fact, that DC decided to revamp the whole line up, replacing every other creative on the books as well.  I might argue that this was a tad overkill, but it was understandable. Its a change I was pretty excited about, having been...

The New 52 – Green Lantern: New Guardians

The other new title added to the Green Lantern stable with the new 52, replacing Emerald Knights, is The New Guardians. Providing a spotlight to the other Lantern Corps, and starring Kyle Rayner, this to me made a lot of sense for a new book. I've talked before about how I didn't really understand the...

The New 52 – Green Lantern Corps

The third Lantern book of the reboot, and the second returning title, Green Lantern Corps has none-the-less had things rejigged a bit, with Peter Tomasi and Guy returning to the book, while Kyle has exited to star in the New Guardians title. While I criticised Green Lantern #1 for not coming across as much of...

Red Lanterns #1

So, with the various other Corps getting a lot of attention during Sinestro Corps War and Blackest Night, it made sense that eventually DC would create a book to capitalise on this.  However, to my mind, they went with the bizarre choice of a Red Lanterns ongoing title.  The rabid animals of the emotional spectrum,...

Green Lantern #1

In addition to trying out lots of new titles from the new 52 I am, of course, continuing to pick up the Green Lantern titles, which, much like the Bat-franchise have emerged from this reboot with tweaks to some of the earlier continuity, but their ongoing storylines unscathed. As a result, I did have some...

New 52: Week 3

So, with our second full week of new #1s under our belt, its interesting to see how things are shaping up. To be honest, I probably felt last week's books were stronger over all (thanks to the killer combo of Action Comics and Batgirl), but I still mostly enjoyed this week's offerings that I picked...

DC Reboot: Week 2

So, with week 2 of the reboot/relaunch, I have to admit, as someone who was quite sceptical about the whole thing, there's a lot to recommend it here. Its really no surprise that Action Comics was excellent. A Superman whose powers aren't quite up there yet, and a nice reference to Smallville early on (at...

Justice League #1

Well, there's really one big news story dominating comics at the moment.  At somepoint I'll come back to talk about Flashpoint, but it has long been overshadowed by the reboot that's finally arrived after several months of hype.  And relaunching the DC Universe falls to the obvious title, with the new volume of Justice League...

War of the Green Lanterns Aftermath

*sigh* I've gotten so bad at keeping up with my blogging.  Anyway, War of the Green Lanterns is over, and Tony Bedard has been firmly handed the keys to the car while Geoff's away plotting the reboot.  While Peter Tomasi's Emerald Warriors has shifted to one-and-done issues featuring Guy, Green Lantern Corps picks up the...

Green Lantern #67

And so, despite the delays, the finale of War of the Green Lanterns finally arrives with some big shocks in store as Geoff Johns plants the seeds for the next storylines as Krona is being defeated. But did anyone else think it all felt a bit rushed? Don't get me wrong, I really enjoyed the...
