Green Lantern #3

And on top of all of that, this issue receives extra credit for focusing on its two main Black characters. I know that that's what this book essentially will be from here on out, but this issue was just really successful at displaying their agency. If you read this site, you know how important it is to see ourselves in these characters and behind the scenes. It's truly a joy.  Read Full Review

Green Lantern #3 sets up a mystery that inches the Green Lanterns closer to their Future State status and puts the spotlight on lesser-known Lanterns. This is shaping up to be the Green Lanternbook of my dreams and the fresh take the series needed. I highly recommend it for sci-fi and superhero fans alike. Read Full Review

Green Lantern #3 is a fun, interesting issue that echoes some well-loved science fiction, borrowing obliquely if not liberally. Thorne is focusing on two characters that have very different challenges, but their particular stories seem to suit them. Additionally, it's a creative solution to addressing a concept and story that have such a grand scope. This is a different direction for Green Lantern, but it's interesting and feels both new and familiar all at the same time. Read Full Review

Thorne keeps serving up some fun cliffhangers showing a special talent for keeping readers on edge. Read Full Review

It's a fun story that shows us a different side of John and humanizes him more than many recent stories. Read Full Review

Geoffrey Thorne and company have proven that they are more than up to the task of creating a new Green Lantern tale that balances the historical grandeur of the lore with novel concepts and interesting new directions. This issue doesn't have quite the scope or expert pacing of the previous two, but the plot developments and character moments are enough to keep patient readers sticking around to find out what comes next.

Green Lantern is spinning a captivating mystery on a wide scale, but it's the stories of the Corps finding a way through all the chaos that powers all of it, and that doesn't appear to be changing anytime soon. Read Full Review

Raney and Santucci delivers some good art in this issue. One side of the art has more detail then the other, but both sides are done well. Read Full Review

While I was anxious about what the outcome of last issue's cliffhanger would be, I have to say that I love what we got out of that aspect in this book, I just wish we spent more time dealing with the characters who are trying to get to the bottom of Oa's attack and a little less with John Stewart getting acclimated to a world that he's stuck on. Yeah, that part was still enjoyable but I didn't care about it as much as the other aspects of this book. Thankfully though, the art in this issue looked amazing and the plot advancements we did get make me want to come back for more. Read Full Review

Green Lantern #3 is well-written but very light on action. This story arc is directly diving into material from the Future State storyline, which may turn some readers off. We see John Stewart and the rest of the Green Lantern Corps in the aftermath of the last issue. We see where most of them are, and what some of them are planning to do. The comic takes its time to explore John Stewart, showing what he's doing during all of this. Sadly, nothing exciting happens in this comic. However, it looks like the next issue will be bringing more suspense. Read Full Review

"Green Lantern" #3 is a solid issue that takes risks to push the series closer to greatness. Read Full Review

The storyline looks to take advantage of these unique circumstances to provide and intriguing collection of Lanterns, while also offering stories of other Lanterns making due without their rings. I'm also happy to see Sojourner finally make it into a core Green Lantern title. Read Full Review

The back half of Green Lantern #3 is definitely the stronger part of this issue in my opinion, but the sum of the parts isn't enough to justify the cover price. From an unengaging front half to some very shaky art, this one's a skip. Five out of ten lanterns. Read Full Review

This feels like a weak moment in the Green Lantern characters history. I wish it had more going on to it than this. Read Full Review

When you rely on kooky gimmicks (Teen Lantern), great artwork and covers but have a complicated Phantom Menace style half baked story you are on shaky ground. I think that this storyline is officially boring. one star only for the story and 2 for artwork (because of that cover.) Read Full Review

The art is a little rough this Issue. Tom Raney jumps in for Dexter Soy and while his art is a little more like Marco Santucci's, it is rougher than both Soy's and Santucci's. While it makes the environment and the very xenomorphic characters look cooler, the humans - especially their faces - suffer for it. Why does this still have such a high rating? Because I love everything else about it. The story is gripping, emotions are high, the dialogue is natural, and I love how the characters are used. There is also certainly some playing with expectations.

This has become one of the comics I look forward to the most. The art was rough this issue but I’ll forgive it for one of the freshest takes on the GLC in memory. It’s night and day from FS GL which I didn’t care for at all. Here’s hoping we get more of this Geoffrey Thorne than that one because the last three issues have been out of this world.

a bit weaker from last issue but I enjoyed it. Interested to see Hal Jordan come back and lets hope the author doesnt screw him over.

They wanted the art to match the subpar writing.

I tried. I thought it had potential with issue one, but it's taken such a horrible turn for the worst.

Two stories and neither one of them was well written or had characters that I care about. DC can't ^%$tcan this book fast enough. Save your money kids.

I literally am saving my money. There are plenty of other good stories to read other than today's DC mess on many of these issues.

The worst book DC is publishing, I liked the first issue, but #2 and #3 were so bad, now its time to wait for the next writer...
