Green Lantern Corps #12

This is a fun, chaotic issue with some great battle segments, but it also has some awesome moments that hint at deeper issues, such as a confrontation between John Stewart and Katma-Tui, who have recently been reunited and may have been papering over some much deeper issues. And the best part is, it feels like we're still just scratching the surface of this story's potential. Read Full Review

With the threats of Larfleeze and Enquar taking shape. Its just a matter of how quickly the combined corps can get on the same page to keep Oa and their fellow lanterns, from getting shut down by the two sinister forces intent on their destruction. Read Full Review

The peaceful notion of Lanterns living on one planet goes up in a cloud of orange smoke (literally) this chapter. Hampton balances a very large ensemble cast to a steady moving chapter. The art team lean heavy into the action for a solid read. How the Lanterns rebound from a threat within should be fun to watch. Read Full Review

Seeing the next generation of Lanterns come up through the ranks makes this book a consistent win for readers. This title is in great hands. Read Full Review

Morgan Hampton continues to impress with how many different plotlines that are being managed in Green Lantern Corps. While there is a lot going on with various groups on Oa and throughout the DCU, there is an order that helps keep a control with the pacing of the story. Read Full Review

The push to action continues to be one of the weaker parts of the series since it doesn't get to spend time on character. Yes, we get a couple of panels of decent material with John and Katma amid what's going on, but it's been weak to explore this current dynamic since it was reintroduced. Read Full Review

Green Lantern Corps #12 is a functional setpiece comic that sacrifices character cohesion for ambitious plotting, banking on next month's promised war to justify the clustered storytelling happening right now. Hampton proves competent at juggling multiple narratives simultaneously, but competence isn't the same as excellence, and readers investing in this series deserve more than a well-organized setup issue. The comic does enough things right to keep Corps fans engaged, though it neither deepens existing character relationships meaningfully nor introduces fresh enough concepts to justify the reader's time investment.

Big improvement over Hampton's first few solo writing issues. The characters all seem to have important things to do and that Larfleeze was a real threat instead of a joke. More issues like this one, please.

Solid, focused, and fun, with the best balance of the oversized cast yet.
