Apr 16, 2024We get some clues through the issue, but the real highlight here is the stunning art by Montos. This guy sort of came out of nowhere with this book, but man can he draw the heck out of a cosmic battle. His characters are distinct, his abominations are terrifying, and it's great to see some big-scale sci-fi Lantern action taking over this title for a bit. Read Full Review

Apr 16, 2024Green Lantern War Journal #8 is another chapter in the story of John Stewart as he battles his heroic responsibility with that of his family. The inclusion of Guy Gardner makes for great continuity and reminds us of the Lanterns' connectivity with each other even with the change of the status quo. Though the villain leaves more to be desired, John's dementia-ridden mother makes this a story worth telling and I can't wait to see how that plot thread gets resolved. Read Full Review

Honestly I yearn for Sci-fi and the Green Lanterns fill that (might be the only books in DC that do). All that being said, PKJ War Journal is really doing it for me now. John out in a dead space fighting with a rag tag group of lost survivors against untold space terrors? Yes please. The art really adds to it. Love this entire part of the story. Ellie's story gives me the 'feels' if you will. The terror and pain of John's mother and a desperation of Ellie to protect her. At best I can see this ending in a bittersweet way but its going to be emotional regardless. Guy and Shepard are quite funny. The fact PKJ has 3 stories all tied together, one sci-fi, one emotional drama and one comedy, and I am invested in all of them is quite more

The ongoing Dark Star storyline is wearing a bit thin for me in this issue, but the Earth-bound story with John's mother and a Guy Gardner "appearance" continues to be captivating, along with the great artwork.
