Blog Of Oa - Myron Rumsey
Oct 12, 2023Green Lantern #4 is a joyous romp of comic book adventure where two great friends get to share some time together both in uniform and as just two buddies. The Hal Jordan / Barry Allen friendship is my favorite, so I'm obviously biased on seeing them together, especially when Jeremy Adams does such a fine job in capturing their voices and making sure that neither character is diminished in order to elevate the other. Pared with the fun adventure is some great character moments and some clues about a rising threat from the stars. The Sinson backup isn't my cup of tea, but it does make me wonder where it's leading. Nine out of ten lanterns Read Full Review

Weird Science - Gabe Hernandez
Oct 10, 2023Green Lantern #4 is a bright, fun, action-packed team-up story with the guest hero, The Flash, pitching in to stop two disasters in the making. The team-up action is fun, and Barry and Hal have a natural rapport with each other, but the overall series may be taking a little too long to present Hal with his first big challenge.

The Fandom Post - Chris Beveridge
Oct 18, 2023This issue does a fun team-up bit with The Flash and there's obviously a very long history of that so it works well to bring them together. It scratches that kind of old-school itch in a good way to make it fun and hit the nostalgia side while being useful to the current storyline. Read Full Review

Oct 20, 2023If you haven't read this series yet, or any Green Lantern series prior, this new run is a great jumping on point. It briefly covers what has come before, but is very much a new beginning for Hal Jordan as well. Green Lantern #4 is a great issue, and shouldn't be missed! Read Full Review

Comic Book Revolution - Kevin Lainez
Oct 11, 2023Green Lantern #4 was exactly the issue that this series needed to get readers fully invested. Jeremy Adams and Xermanico fully tapped into the rivalry between Hal Jordan and Sinestro. At the same time, they also delivered a fun team-up between Hal and Barry Allen. Along with a enjoyable back-up story involving the debut of Sinestro's unknown son this was an overall fun comic book.

This story is Barry and Hal at their Silver Age best. It shows you can take long-established heroes and make them contemporary. Great writing. Impeccable art. This series is off to a flying start. The only downside is the unnecessary backup story. DC Editorial can't help but try to create silly kid spinoffs. Just get rid of it, save money on printing, and drop the cost of the book by a buck. Skip the backup story and re-read the main story. It's excellent.

Some good fun here with some character development for Hal. Stupendous art as well.

The main story is firing on all cylinders, and the Flash/Green Lantern Team up is great to see. Adams proves he can not only write Wally, but Barry as well. Surely one of the best up and coming writers there is. There is so much silver age fun to see here and we get more of Hals perspectives into his personal life, plus some of the plot moves forwards with Sinestro's goals. As for the back up story... well this isnt Tomasi's best writing but the plot itself is okish. The art though it weirdly childish for what I assume is suppose to be a darker story/not a child book story? If this is meant for young readers then sure the art makes sense, but why put it as a back-up for Adams Green Lantern? Like either the art is wrong for the story, or more

We're finally getting into the thick of things with Sinestro's intentions starting to come into focus with this issue. Do I buy that he's only out to get home? Not a chance. Do I think he's found a way to appear sympathetic to confuse Hal? Absolutely. Speaking of Hal, I wasn't a fan of the way Jeremy Adams wrote him at first, but Adams is brilliantly evolving the character with each issue. His post-team up conversation with The Flash showed so much character growth over just the first four issues. As long as Xermánico is on art and Romulo Fajardo Jr is on colors, the visuals in this book will make every issue a must read. Even without any specific page that stood out, from gorgeous backgrounds to expressive character designs, the entire bo more

I thought this was a fun and heartfelt story with Hal and Barry. I was hoping Adams would be writing Wally West, since he was the main Flash of his run and I enjoy him more as a character, but this was still good stuff. It also helps that Xérmanico's art is simply great. As for the backup, it felt a little generic to me when it came to its dialogue, but the story was interesting enough. The art was solid also.

It was fun and lighthearted, but it lacked any kind of depth of storytelling. I wanted to see more about Sinestro's plans. Instead, we just get Barry running around the city finding bombs and Hal destroying them. I've seen this several times before in different iterations. I appreciate the throwback, but I'm looking forward to hearing more about Sinestro. The backup story was completely unnecessary and it has a continuity issue. In the first page the kid is barefoot, in the very next panel he has shoes. So much for editors. My comic book review channel - https://youtu.be/Rv1-coU4CbA

Sinestro already has a daughter, dumb idea. It's always fun to see Barry and Hal together! DC's editorial should follow Barry's tip and let Hal and Carol just be friends, they'll never be a couple like Clark and Lois or Barry and Iris

Well I hope the thing about Sinestro's son will turn out to be just a fake because this is just a complete disservice to Sinestro's character, for the sake of the super sons, two characters that has nothing to do with Green Lantern. I'm sorry Tomasi, who's made great contributions to the GL franchise, write this.
