A visual spectacle that's a treat to behold! Read Full Review

Jurgens's story continues wayward and with Perkins's art, Hi-Fi's colors, and Sharpe's letters and sounds, he successfully continue to construct an epic story. Read Full Review

With this book, I'm mostly just looking for action and events to unfold as opposed to strong character material. Jurgens is a writer I like a lot in the kinds of tales he comes up with and the scale of it all so this works well with him working with Henshaw once again and messing with the Green Lantern Corps. We get good stuff out of most of the casts that's here with Stewart and Baz getting a solid piece of attention as they save the day. It's fairly standard structure material and there really aren't any surprises but what we get is a lot of fun and I'm looking forward to seeing how it all wraps up. Read Full Review

Next issue looks to continue the intensity with what looks to be the big showdown and conclusion of a pretty engaging arc. Read Full Review

The Green Lantern Corps are now free from Cyborg Superman's influence thanks to Simon Baz and John Stewart, but the villain has set his sights on a new and familiar target: Coast City. Cyborg Superman looks to finish the job he started years earlier. Read Full Review

I have little doubt that this will be a compelling final issue in two weeks as Cyborg Superman descends on the rebuilt Coast City " but shouldn't it have taken place in Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps instead? Read Full Review

Green Lanterns #56 is a good issue but suffers from a couple of questionable narrative decisions that lessened my enjoyment of the finished product. That said I'm very much looking forward to seeing the conclusion in a couple of weeks before The Green Lantern debuts in November. Read Full Review

GREEN LANTERNS #56 continues "Evil's Might" as Hank Henshaw's forces start furthering their schemes. Dan Jurgens create a solid, but still filler, issue that mainly moves the story around. Read Full Review

Perkins' art is amazing in this issue and the art goes a long way toward holding my interest and adding to my enjoyment of this issue. Read Full Review

This is still a fun read and it showcases two of my favorite Green Lanterns Read Full Review

I am hopefulnext issue will feature the conclusion of the current story arc. There could bea lot for 21 pages to hold, but Im ready for the story to end. After therecent battles between the GLs and the Dominators, I could do with a simplerstory, of Jessica and Simon putting out fires, stopping bank robberies, andeating pancakes. Read Full Review

Despite my lack of enthusiasm of the story, Mike Perkin's pencils remain stellar. I'll admit that this issue, certain pages seemed a bit muddier than others but the overall dark aesthetic remains perfectly intact. Maybe I just love Hank Henshaw, but I love his facial expressions for Henshaw. I'm pretty sure the cyborg part of Henshaw's face isn't meant to convey any kind of emotion but Perkins channels Henshaw's rage perfectly in his face. Always find a silver lining in the things you consume and with this issue of Green Lanterns its Mike Perkins' pencils. Read Full Review

Hank Henshaw is one of the most interesting villains DC has in their repertoire, and it shows in Green Lanterns #56. Read Full Review

While all our characters are in place for our big showdown for the next and final issue of Green Lanterns, this issue was so forced to get us there that I had to roll my eyes reading it.  Hell, I don't even know why we're on our way back to Coast City for this, it doesn't seem to serve any purpose except for nostalgia and goes against what our villain seemed to want even at the beginning of this issue.

So, I get what Dan Jurgens is going for... the idea of Hal coming face to face with the man who destroyed Coast City is a good concept. Giving Cyborg Superman the phantom ring is a good concept. The execution however sucks, both dialogue and art are substandard.

from a base of 6, this gets a rating of: 5. -1 because: the art was distractingly bad.

I'm into the villain but it seems like he probably could have killed, like, all the Lanterns, and then didn't, and I'm like... get your shit together, Hank.

Not only is the art awful, but the story gets worse and worse. It is already a far fetched and confusing story. It is sad that this is the last story arc in the Green Lanterns run.

'The Green' is a thing that has been previously established in Swamp Thing, it has nothing to do with the Green Lanterns. If I know this, the editors at DC certainly should. But that's not the only problem: after Cyborg Superman clearly establishes his control over most of the rings, the Lanterns end up regained full use of them anyways because Cyborg Superman... stops caring? Jurgens also manages to subvert the themes previously established with Simon Baz regarding his reliance on a gun. Now we know truth: that guns are the only reliable thing, the NRA leaders would be proud!
