Green Lantern #3
| Writer | Grant Morrison |
| Artist | Liam Sharp |
| Cover Price | $3.99 |
When the Earth goes up for sale on the alien black market, it's up to the Green Lantern Corps to bust up "The Slave Lords of the Stars" in the latest space saga from Grant Morrison (MULTIVERSITY) and Liam Sharp (WONDER WOMAN)! With the Justice League frozen by Gamma Gong tech, Earth ends up on the auction block, and Volgar Zo hosts a menagerie of the universe's deadliest despots and criminals: Steppenwolf, Queen Bee, the Dominators and much, much worse. Hal Jordan leads a squad of Lanterns into the fray-and someone's going to pay the ultimate price before this case gets closed.

You Don't Read Comics - Rick Lopez
Jan 09, 2019Morrison and Sharp display yet again the perfect symmetry they bring while working together. Creating an absolute must read title while being completely accessible for new readers, standing as yet another testament of the series and something predecessors failed to accomplish. With a minimum of two years ahead for this run, as confirmed by Morrison himself, an already unforgettable journey has only just begun. Read Full Review

Jan 10, 2019Look, just read this whole series. Right now. Every issue so far has earned a perfect score from me, and for good reason. Its just that damn good. Read this because youre not going to be disappointed. This is a creative team working at their absolute best to bring you something that is without peer at DC right now. Its easily the best ongoing series of 2018/19 and, quite frankly, if you love good comics, good science fiction or just good storytelling then you owe it to yourself to read this. Its an 80s 2000AD-filtered masterpiece and an absolute triumphfor all involved. Read Full Review

The Brazen Bull - Charlie Chipman
Jan 09, 2019The weird-factor continues to increase inThe Green Lantern (2018-) #3, but as this story grows weirder, it also grows more intense. There's a darkness that's lurking just beneath the surface of this tale, and we're only pages away from it showing itself; in fact, a taste of what's to come is offered in the issue's final scene.

Comic Book Corps - Anthony Thornton
Jan 09, 2019From cover to cover, I am hooked on the artwork in this issue, and in the series as a whole so far. Sharpe and Oliff are a strong team, and The Green Lantern is the perfect place to show that. The story keeps you hooked, and continues to give us something different, and really weird, and I love it. Go pick it up right now and read! Already read it? READ IT AGAIN! Read Full Review

Blog Of Oa - Myron Rumsey
Jan 09, 2019The Green Lantern #3 is another cosmic romp that you'd expect with Grant Morrison's name on the cover. With a combination of far out cosmic commerce, police drama and a satirical look at the shortsightedness of the human race this issue has a bit of everything going on. Liam Sharp and Steve Oliff do a great job bringing it all to life in this great issue. Read Full Review

Jan 09, 2019The fate of the Earth is sealed! And most of its inhabitants seem cool with it. Hal Jordan's by-the-books police technique might not jibe with every sleep-n-eat and ne'er-do-well, but by gum there's going to be law and order in this galaxy, if he has to arrest bug-eyed slacker to do it!

Comicosity - Michael Hale
Jan 09, 2019In short, this comic continues the weirder-than-expected style that has been on-going since the first issue, and the ending panel is the kind which I might actually say is shocking. Not shocking in that Hal hasnt done things similar to this before, but more because it comes from Hals raw, angry response to the situation. I imagine this moment might spark some controversial exchanges, but it doesnt detract completely from the fact that Morrison and Sharp have become a great team for this series. Read Full Review

Jan 14, 2019Grant Morrison and Liam Sharp continue their interesting and entertaining run on Green Lantern who both add a plethora of DC Easter Eggs that makes the story jam packed with delicious outer space goodness which also channels that innocent silver age feel of the 60s. All in all, another interesting issue as Hal Jordan goes face to face with God and gets closer to the mystery of Commander Mu and his villainous plan. Read Full Review

DC Comics News - Matthew Lloyd
Jan 09, 2019Three issues in, The Green Lantern is a bit of a jarring shift from the Green Lantern comics of the last 15 years. While the aliens and intrigue are engaging both visually and storywise, there is a clear lack of character work missing. So much so, that it may be difficult to get this to feel like a Green Lantern comic. The humor in the issue leans towards satire and it's not clear if that's good or bad, but it was clever and enjoyable and was probably the best part of the comic along with Sharp's Woodesque aliens.

Comic Book Bin - Philip Schweier
Jan 09, 2019All in all its a flawed book. But I can't say I'm really surprised. DC had a good thing going with Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps and Green Lanterns. But they chose to fix them, when they really didn't need fixing at all. Read Full Review

Let me just start by saying how gifted Liam Sharp is! Hes an unstoppable force of nature! The levels of detail on this book are amazing! Every time you turn the page is a new surprise! I was in awe the whole time while reading this book and ill be damned if Liam isnt nominated for an Eisner this year. As for the script... Is Grant Morrison. The guy is a genius. Even if you find it boring, the comics he writes always have something with value. And i love comics that makes me think. I love how the shepherd is like a crazy leader that offers freedom and happiness, but we know its bullshit, but we fall for that shit anyways. It has been like that forever. We always bow to lunatics because we believe in their crap and in the end, when its all more

Without the annoying dialogue quirks that really hindered my enjoyment of last issue, this issue is the best one yet. We get a really cool story and a great ending that I hope to see play out spectacularly. It looks especially bad considered the last arc of Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps, so I hope Grant Morrison is aware of that and may even bring it up in the future.

[[DISCLAIMER: THE WRITER OF THIS REVIEW ACKNOWLEDGES THAT 100 PERCENT OF COMIC BOOK ARTISTS DRAW BETTER THAN HE EVER COULD & THAT MOST COMIC BOOK WRITERS WRITE BETTER (COMIC BOOKS) THAN HE EVER COULD...so with that out of the way...]] This series is THAT good. Art. Writing. It has this quality, like it's simultaneously from the 70's, 90's--and 2019!

this is definitely a comic (and series) that HAS to be read at least twice the get the big overall picture of what Grant is building towards. Seeing the scope of what Grant is doing... this is one AMAZING comic! Love Grant's commentaries within this issue!! FUCKING BRILLIANT!! also the very last page was PERFECT!

I saw the cover for this issue and chuckled. Grant Morrison and Liam Sharp have a lot of balls. It's hard to stroll past a cover in which Green Lantern is staring down a god and declaring him under arrest. The story is just as insane. The planet has been shrunk down and sold in an auction to an alien slaver that resembles the Hebrew God of the old testament. The Green Lantern Corps breaks up the illicit activities but the twist is that the earth's inhabitants are perfectly fine with being enslaved. I'm sure there is some meta-commentary here somewhere. Even after the Slaver is revealed to be a hideous Lovecraftian monster the planet's leaders still remain enthralled which leads to Hal putting the earth under house arrest until i more

Yes, a classic Morrison issue. With some incredible art by Sharp.

Prelude: Well, last issue definitely finished on a cliffhanger. Let's see how Morrison goes in "Slave Lords of the Stars". The Good: I love the auction. Love how Hal commands the lanterns in the field. The Shepard is really cool. Interesting cliffhanger. Sharp's art was amazing. The Bad: I do dislike how large of a scale this is. I don't know, it just feels to be too big for a solo series as far as Earth is concerned. Conclusion: A great issue but I do have problems with how large scale it is.

6.5
THE GOOD: -I love the art. Nothing else I have to say about that. -I also love all of the weird creatures that Morrison and Sharp conjure up. They really stood out in this issue. -The auction was pretty great, I enjoyed that scene a lot. -I thought that Shepherd was a really fun and interesting villain. -I also liked the artificial sun, and how everyone hated Green Lantern. I find it hard to believe people would turn that quickly though, even for superpowers! -The scene with Shepherd's fuel source was twisted and effectively disturbing. THE BAD: -While I enjoyed Sharp's art overall, that page with the Justice League was just... ew! -I will admit there was some weirdness that took me out of the story here. more

I hated this issue. I don't need Morrison or anyone else going on about their distaste for religion or anything like that. This issue just came off as super anti-religion and self-righteous and in the very end Hal murders someone in cold blood and tells all of the other Green Lanterns to just cover it up. I get that it was a bad guy but the good guys still aren't supposed to just shoot people down. This series hasn't been great so far but this was a particularly bad issue.
