It’s Hector Hammond versus Hal Jordan as the confrontation comes to a head,while Kyle Rayner, Superboy, and Odyssey come across a Reach outpost and amysterious stranger!
I mentioned above that seeing a giant bug spray construct was fun, and that is what I can say about this issue as a whole, it's just fun! I had a smile on my face as I went from page to page. With great action, solid dialogue, and a final page reveal that had me laughing and feeling genuine surprise, this issue is an absolute must read! Read Full Review
If you want an example of how a comic book should manage multiple storylines in 20 pages look no further than Green Lantern #22. Jeremy Adams puts on a masterclass of how to juggle multiple stories to further enhance the impact the Fractured Spectrum direction is having on the DC Universe. Read Full Review
Green Lanterns feels like a comic very much on the rise and is only going to continue getting better with each issue. Read Full Review
Green Lantern #22 is an exciting issue that journeys to the depths of space as two legacies come together: One creates a new hero to help Kyle Rayner and his team take on the Reach, while another takes you to Hell where you won't believe who is waiting. If you're a Blue Beetle fan, you won't want to miss this. Xermanico has his talents tested as Lanterns are teaming up with a wide variety of heroes, while Jeremy Adams shows us how vital the Green Lanterns are to the DC Universe. Read Full Review
Along with some of DC's most unique magical heroes, he descends into the underworld with some brilliant visuals and encounters an old friend who I definitely didn't expect to see again. This plot thread is fascinating, because it's delivering into an era of Hal's history that it's rare to see revisited. Read Full Review
Overall, Green Lantern #22 is a strong issue that provides a satisfying conclusion to the Hal/Hammond arc while simultaneously injecting fresh mystery and cosmic intrigue into the series. It's a testament to Adams' ability to balance classic Green Lantern elements with exciting new developments, making it a must-read for fans of the Emerald Knight. Read Full Review
Green Lantern #22 is a fun ride with plenty of action, charm, and a surprising number of obscure cameos. Jeremy Adams digs deep to give readers a sprawling adventure that reads more like an extended Justice League tale, and Xermnico's art is outstanding. That said, the plan to stop Sorrow Lantern feels oddly vague. Read Full Review
A significant progress. And I've always loved to see Phantom Strangern and Hal teaming up.
This issue produced two jaw drops, one of 2 minutes and one of thirty seconds as well as a fist pump and “hell yeah” followed by a genuine laugh out loud. What an issue with some great surprises and appearances you just don’t see coming. Jeremy Adams puts together another outstanding issue, one of the best of the series. No spoilers here, but you don’t want to miss this issue. Hal’s character is written perfectly and the surprises are truly unexpected and impactful. This is the book of the week!
I want to preface my remarks by stating I absolutely loved Adams’ introductory United Planets storyline, which was epic! By comparison, I feel like this Fractured Spectrum storyline is running out of gas prematurely. The plan to defeat the villains is a little fuzzy and underdeveloped, while the subplots involving Hammond and Hell and Dan Garrett are a bit distracting from the main storyline. The villains, Sorrow and Starbreaker, are underdeveloped and barely involved in the main storyline, resulting in a chapter that seems very…unfocused. I do have faith in Adams to pull it all back together in the next few issues.
