Green Lantern: Season Two #1

Grant Morrison never quite left, even between the "Seasons" of his Green Lantern epic (thanks to an excellent bridge miniseries), but he blows the doors off the first issue of his return, The Green Lantern: Season 2 #1, like he's been resting and coming up with new ideas for a while.

The Green Lantern, Season Two #1 is not only a perfect jumping-on point for new readers, but it also manages to set up a new story for Hal Jordan utilizing existing mythology. I can't wait to see where Morrison, Sharp, and Oliff go from here. Read Full Review

This is a welcome return for The Green Lantern, an issue overflowing with great storytelling and fascinating ideas. Read Full Review

The Green Lantern: Season Two #1 is by itself a fun cosmic action-adventure story that also provides a glimpse into the future of the Green Lantern mythos. Casual fans of the Corps or of Hal Jordan will probably want to jump on board with Morrison's work here; readers who have followed Morrison's Lantern from the start through Blackstars will likely be excited by this issue and developments to follow. Overall, it's definitely worth picking up. Read Full Review

The Green Lantern Season 2 #1(Morrison, Sharp, Oliff, Orzechowski) is here and it is probably exactly what you would expect. It's strange, weird fun with amazingly detailed artwork and moves in a direction that keeps you constantly off-balance. Read Full Review

Morrison wraps the issue on an intriguing note that should prove very interesting as this season continues to play out. Read Full Review

The Green Lantern: Season Two #1 is a good jumping on point for anyone who is interested in seeing what this creative team is doing with the cosmic corner of the DCU and missed out on the first season. Grant Morrison appears to be redefining the Green Lantern Corps and this is ground zero where the seeds of change are being planted. Liam Sharp has returned from the break and is running wild with some of the most beautiful work seen in any book by any publisher on the stands. Read Full Review

Season 2 issue #1 gives us a great look at all the things Liam excels at. His dynamic camera angles and bold line work have always provided greatness for my eyeballs, but here he shines (with many thanks to Steve Oliff on colors) as his crowd shots rival Jimenez, his action panels sincerely draw fear even when the gist of the situation is still playing out to the reader.

Readers who aren't caught up might be left scratching their heads a bit, but if you have been onboard for Morrison's journey into the heart of human willpower, then you'll be satisfied with this chapter. Read Full Review

The Green Lantern: Season 2 #1 does not work well as a stand alone comic book. But, it does work well as a season premier. Liam Sharpe's art is a mixed-bag that is at times stunning and at other times, busy and uncomfortable. Read Full Review

Overall, The Green Lantern: Season Two #1 is an average start to a new story arc. While the main idea of the Young Guardians is intriguing and potentially concept shattering to the Green Lantern Corps, it doesn't go very far here. Coupled with the exposition on Mother Juna, the issue comes across as establishing shots of the larger story to come. I have no doubt that it will improve, but this is a lackluster start to Season Two. Read Full Review

A substantial,imaginative, dreamful issue. We can see Morrison really planned a lot for this run. Shamefully those might not come true for this book has to end sooner than scheduled. The dream team of Morrison and Sharp shouldn't be treated like that. Damn you DC for reducting your best run at present.

them extending runs like Scott Snyder or Tom King's Batman, yet cutting this Green Lantern run short is just further evidence that DC is run by idiots.

Continuing their amazing run, Grant Morrison and Liam Sharp hit it out of the park with this issue. Great starting point after the events of Blackstars, it's just great to see Hal be at the top of his game again. This again plays up the cop vibe that season one had by assigning him a partner on his next mission, which was fun and interesting. I love the low-key tone of the book, it doesn't feel as epic as previous runs on the character which is what I love. Shame on DC for cutting this series from 12 to 8 issues for stupid 5G

just look at the bright side. hopefully his freed up schedule will help Grant be able to focus on getting that Arkham II finally completed. it was announced quite some time ago now.

After the fascinating 3-issue Blackstars run, the second season of Morrison and Sharps' Green Lantern kicks off with a great opener. It's fun, witty, looks stunning, and promises an intriguing story with its ending. I'm looking forward to the next issue.

Thanks DC for cutting this ‘season’ down to 8 issues... This series is one of the few good things you’re putting out right now. 5G better be worth it. 😕

Fuck yeah, Hal's ring got crazy powerful like it was in the silver age, and Sharp is still killing it. I can't describe how much I love this series

This feels like a Green Lantern straight out of the 80s', just with an added flair of bizarre Grant Morrison. I like what the cliffhanger promises going forward. This is some of Liam Sharp's best work, only being beat by Green Lantern #1 and #7. Not counting the purposely(?) horrid designs of the evolving apedroids.

Prelude: We're back for Season Two of The Green Lantern. "Young Guardians" is our season premiere so let's see how Morrison starts the season off. The Good: Liam Sharp's art is great. Love Hal's ceremonial clothing. Rykaktoro is fun. The Bad: Hang on, aren't these Guardians still pretty new? Or am I remembering Hals n Pals wrong? Conclusion: A good start though a bit confusing.

Morrison is hit-or-miss for me but I enjoyed this issue a great deal. Sharp's art was fantastic as ever.

There's a lot going on here that I'm forced to accept. It feels less expansive and more like a barrage of ideas. I think that's just Morrison losing his edge a bit, as a younger him was way better at this sort of thing. But it wasn't a bad issue. It just felt clunky.

And issue, which it's what we can expect for from Morrison nowadays.

More complete garbage from Morrison.
