What a missed opportunity to follow up on Soranik Natu's current whereabouts! I really don't like the "Sinsons" and Jo and Jessica are two of the least interesting human GLS, so this issue held nothing for me. Can we please get some much needed focus on the cool alien members of the Corps?
Green Lantern Corps #6

Meanwhile, the Starbreaker Corps amassesits forces as the last pieces of its plan come into being and threaten the universe-but what does this mean for Hal Jordan and Carol Ferris? Love will be tested likenever before in ...
This is one of the cringiest books I've read in quite some time. Keli is by far the poorest GL character since the creation of Simon Baz, so having both of them lead half of this issue was of little interest - and their half of the book was about as boring as the Geoff Thorne run. Meanwhile Guy Gardner jobs for Evil Star and the reveal of Narf's talents is too little, too late.

The Oa station crew and the field team converge as Simon Baz and Teen LanternKeli Quintela meet up with Guy Gardner and his new partner, Lantern Narf, as theyall race to escape the crooks of Necrocopia in one piece! All this, plus Space Cabbie!
Artwork looks like a bad anime. Pacing of the story is a bit slow for my liking - we're two issues in and we still don't know enough about what's going on for that many pages. I'm ok with decompressed storytelling, but this is a little too decompressed in my opinion. Weakest of the Absolute titles so far.
Absolute Green Lantern #2
Abin Sur has arrived, and he is here to judge all of the people of Evergreen,including Jo Mullein and Hal Jordan. But is this alien being friend or foe,and just what will his judgement bring?
Not bad. For the first time in a long while, Hal actually does something,
I can't help but find it amusing that on a crucial Corps meeting, somehow every member present is from Earth, including two actual children. Shame that Green Lantern, once a franchise represents space fantasy, now has become a private backyard of human chauvinism.

Can John Stewart's legendary willpo...
I feel like I've been too critical towards this run in the past but honestly, it's solid work. It's a safe run sure, but it takes the best out of being safe in being so consistent. At its best manages to find a perfect middle ground in a lot of stuff, while Hal remains the protagonist, as this issue examplifies perfectly. And that's important, especially when you do a serialized monthly run. In a more

Meanwhile, on Earth, John's rash decision to use his new ring to recreate his little sister hin...
Adams does a good job of finding a good reason to have Tom Kalmaku show up, and makes a far more compelling justification for the ridiculous number of Earth Lanterns (although there are just too many imo). With Hal's ring restored the haze of self doubt has been lifted, and Hal has the clarity of emotion to make a crucial decision about Carol - and of course this just means that Adams will have Ca more
