Mar 09, 2021Grant Morrison brings the curtain down on his Green Lantern run"and potentially on Hal Jordan's tenure as the lead Lantern"with an epic final issue where he finally does what we've all been waiting for. Grant Morrison goes full Morrison. Read Full Review

Mar 14, 2021In the end The Green Lantern: Season Two #12 might seem anticlimactic in some ways with no clear ending, no sense of how this particular baton is being handed over. That in itself may be one last piece of commentary on the state of DC Comics as a whole. Hal Jordan has once again saved everyone, not just our universe, but the entire omniverse this time around. For now, this space cowboy rides off into the sunset looking for more adventure. Nine out of ten lanterns. Read Full Review

Mar 09, 2021Maybe with a complete read of the entire run and no monthly spacing this may have felt more special, but this first read of issue #12 doesn't live up to the hype. Read Full Review

Mar 09, 2021Hector has created chaos on Athmoora. The reader gets a bit of his backstory, including an explanation of his animosity toward Hal. Meanwhile, Hal must battle Hectors army and try rescue his friends. After a devastating loss, a new enemy appears. When they strike a deadly bargain with Hal for the salvation of Athmoora, he must find a way to deliver.The Story: There is a lot happening in this issue. Unfortunately, at several points, the plot gets muddled. While I enjoyed the overall tale, it felt rushed. As this is the grand finale of the series, I would have preferred a longer issue that fleshed out the narrative more.Liam Sharp provides a beautifully drawn issue with an intense color palette of reds and greens. The intricate use of detail is inspiring. Each panel draws the eye and elicits an emotional response. The artwork here is magnificent.8/10 Read Full Review

Mar 09, 2021The Green Lantern: Season Two #12 wraps up the series with nods to whats come before, but it doesnt feel as unifying as it should. The art is fabulous and is probably worth the price of admission alone. If you want to see how this series wraps up, youll want to get this issue, but its not going to convince you to go back and buy the rest of the series. Read Full Review

Weird Science - Gabe Hernandez
Mar 09, 2021Without spoiling too much of the ending, Jordan gets his ring back, Hammond's intellect is consumed by his partners and defeated, and Jordan makes a deal with the Golden Ones to give them an alternate food supply if they promise to go away.Bits and Pieces:Green Lantern Season 2, #12 is a simple alien invasion story made ponderous by overly-complicated plotting, dialog that reads like an unpublished Shakespearean play, and good art that ultimately makes the issue more burdensome than it already is.

A great finale to an incredible run! Morrison's tale is both a simple hero facing overwhelming odds story and an interesting commentary on the comic book industry. Liam Sharp has proven time an again throughout this run just how much talent he has and in this finale he exits the series in high style. It's sad to see that DC is seemingly stepping back from Hal Jordan when this series shows how malleable and dynamic of character he is when there's a good creative team behind the wheel.

I can't believe it's over.
In my opinion, Grant Morrison is the greatest comic book writer of all time. So you should know how much it hurt to learn that this would be their last work at DC. Though Wonder Woman Earth One Vol III and Superman & The Authority came out after the fact, The Green Lantern was the true curtain call on the DCU. And what a way to drop the mic...
In a two-part finale, a powerless Hal Jordan faces off against a cabal of his greatest enemies puppeteered by the Golden Giants of the Nomad Empire. Hal refuses to annihilate his enemies, instead giving up the Cosmic Grail and freeing the people of Athmoora of the Intelligence Engine that keeps them in medieval perpetuity.

First read takes some concentration, but second read (as usual with Morrison, especially as he's writing in shorthand these days) benefits and boy, what a run this was.
Gonna miss this series terribly. Morrison and Sharp get Hal and all his history, and push the character and concept farther than anyone has including Johns in quite some time.

Not as good as the first season, but still great. Loved all the silver age characters, references and meta commentary. This also was my introduction to Liam Sharp's artwork, that now I adore. Easily my favorite run from the last ten years

Wow, thanks for taking the reader in one nonsensical ride. Morrison takes us out into left field and then does...NOTHING! Save your money on this one kids, the only really sad part of everything is that the next writer who is taking over the series is going to be worse. DC here is a concept, hire writers who actually like the book that they are writing.
