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... Continue Reading →
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...

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,... Continue Reading →
The Red Lanterns
This last week saw a quite unexpected piece of news from DC. The current three Green Lantern ongoings are going to be joined by a fourth. Although this spin off won't be based on the Green Lanterns. Nope, the Red Lanterns are going monthly. Now, ever since the War of Light, and especially the New... Continue Reading →
Green Lantern #58
The race to find the entities continues in Green Lantern, as Atrocitus and Sinestro track down the Butcher and Adara finds a host. There's a lot still being juggled in Green Lantern, and this issue is no exception, with about 3 separate plot lines being focused on throughout the issues. It starts out with Atrocitus...

Green Lantern #56
Oops. I never did get round to posting about GL #55. The short version being, that I'm not much of a Lobo fan, so most of the issue didn't do anything for me. That said, I have been enjoying the Red Lantern stuff, and the reveal that Atrocitus had manipulated Hal and co was a... Continue Reading →
Green Lantern #54
I've got to admit, I really loved the opening scene to this issue. Dex-star and Atrocitus in the subway attacking the muggers was a great scene straight out of a horror movie, and its nice to see the Red Lanterns get a bit of focus. They're a great, creepy variation on the other Corps and... Continue Reading →
Green Lantern Corps #45
With the Black Lanterns on Oa dealt with by Mogo, and the GLC due to make the leap to Earth in time for Blackest Night #7, its no surprise that the focus of this issue is dealing with Guy's red ring infection. And again, its ultimately Mogo that comes to the rescue, as he forces... Continue Reading →
Green Lantern Corps #44
Right, I really, really need to catch up with some of my blogging. When we last left events on Oa, Guy was on the rampage as a Red Lantern, Kyle had just been resurrected, and Mogo had decided it was time to socialise. The highlight for this issue is easily the stuff with Mogo, that... Continue Reading →
Green Lantern Corps #43
So, when we last (ie the preview) left things, Guy and Soranik were struggling with Kyle's death and to bring him back, only for Guy to fall victim to Vice's red ring. Its interesting that Red Lantern Guy then completely full fills Kyle's plan from last issue. Guy appears to maintain more control than any Red Lantern... Continue Reading →
