I defend Simon and Jessica
The Oa station crew and the field team converge as Simon Baz and Teen LanternKeli Quintela meet up with Guy Gardner and his new partner, Lantern Narf, as theyall race to escape the crooks of Necrocopia in one piece! All this, plus Space Cabbie!
With the Mind Maze explored and the Lanterns finally united, Green Lantern Corps #5 delivers by deepening character relationships while escalating the mystery. Whether it's the traumas of Keli and Simon confronting buried pain, or the comedic spark of Guy, Narf, and Space Cabbie chasing down Evil Star Credits, there's a meaningful rhythm here; one that blends horror, humor, and adventure into a story that feels worthy of the Corps' name. This creative team continues to make space for every Lantern without sacrificing personality or purpose, and by the final page, there's a real sense of momentum. Something is waiting in space, and if this issue is any clue, it's going to test what's behind each Lantern's door, literally and emotionally. Read Full Review
I've come to the conclusion that just about every major franchise at DC should have two titles, because that's the only way we get oddball, smaller-scale stories like this that really flesh out the whole cast. Read Full Review
This series continues to honor the Green Lantern's legacy while blazing an exciting new trail, full of action, heart, and genuine laughs. Green Lantern Corps #5 is an absolute winner. Don't miss out on this hilarious ride! Read Full Review
Green Lantern Corps #5 is fast, funny, and surprisingly heartfelt. Adams and Hampton are building something special herea spacefaring ensemble book that embraces the Corps weirdness while keeping character dynamics front and center. With the cast finally united and the stakes escalating, the book feels like its just starting to hit its full potential. Come for the Lantern lore, stay for the space whale, and leave wanting more of Lantern Narf and Space Cabbie. This is what cosmic comics should feel likebright, bold, and brimming with life.

Unrealized potential might best sum up Green Lantern Corps #5. The Guy Gardner storyline works. Its fun and delivers on its story arc, such as it is. Unfortunately the mind maze story, aiming a little higher in substance, misses its target. Its ultimately a misstep for a series that started out strong. Read Full Review
Green Lantern Corps #5 really defines what this series is and not in a good way. With awkward shifts of multiple storylines and artist teams, this comic book just gives a vibe of being a secondary or tertiary level of importance for the franchise. Read Full Review
Two sins: Keli still existing and this issue being boring. Except for the Guy Gardner parts, which were fine
Very disappointing issue. I’m still completely missing why none of the Green LANTERNS could use their LANTERN rings to escape the mind maze or escape from Evil Star and his minions. It seemed like a lame excuse to inject Space Cabbie into the story to help them escape….when both Guy and Simon are in possession of rings that could easily whisk them away from danger. I’m truly baffled by this. Where is the editor in all this, or Jeremy Adams, for that matter, who should know better? This book also seems to have completely forgotten the mission of stopping the threat of Sorrow and Starbreaker. It’s a muddled mess.
This is one of the cringiest books I've read in quite some time. Keli is by far the poorest GL character since the creation of Simon Baz, so having both of them lead half of this issue was of little interest - and their half of the book was about as boring as the Geoff Thorne run. Meanwhile Guy Gardner jobs for Evil Star and the reveal of Narf's talents is too little, too late.
Meanwhile the art looks like Manga, and not good Manga at that.
