The Green Lantern continues to open new doors for the DC Cosmos and GL mythology, mining its rich history to weave together a fantastical epic full of joy Read Full Review

I love how this issue is essentially two stories colliding into one, it really raises the stakes and paints the picture that is the QWA-MAN! It will take an army to stop him! This book continues to be the best book on the shelves. Morrison and Sharp leave nothing on the table, A mix of a maddening story-line, witty dialogue and masterful art. This issue is absolutely a must read and can't be missed! Read Full Review

While the first season nears its finale, one can only hope this duo will be inspired to carry the title passed the initially solicited 24 issue run. In what has been affectionately coined All-Star Green Lantern, fans support and affinity for this title is at an all-time high with this unique brand of space justice. Morrison and Sharp continue to drive home the modern day classic. Not only a high point for the Green Lantern mythos and DC comics currently, but a series and run that will stand the test of time.

This already excellent series has reached a turning point, one likely to only expand upon its already notable strengths. Read Full Review

VerdictAfter a tilting entry point, The Green Lantern #9 really picks up as it layers the plot with Multiversal references, including Morrison's own Society of Super-Heroes. The mystery of the dead super-beings is just the first aspect, but it goes beyond that as Morrison weaves in his penchant for DC Comics lore and the Multiverse. It's going to be a weird, fun and nostalgic ride! Read Full Review

Morrison's approach to the series, with a bunch of done-in-one installments, has done a great job in shrinking the scale of the stories without sacrificing stakes. Read Full Review

This issue is a fantastic looking bunch of nonsense.  Grant Morrison is too busy throwing obscure references at the reader to tell a coherent story and I've pretty much had enough.  Take the Morrison name off this book and I bet all those scores above mine would plummet very quickly!  It does look great though and that is almost all of my score.

I didn't love this quite as much as previous issues, but it was still very good. Interestingly I remember a Green Lantern medieval story in Silver Age GL, but for once I don't think Grant Morrison was actually making reference to that.

Also, this makes the variant I ended up with for #8 feel more relevant.

Once again there’s something just slightly off that makes it hard to follow the events.

Although not as big a miss as last issue, this issue doesn't do it for me.

There's something inherently fun in opening the book and having absolutely zero idea what's coming up. Grant Morrison, once again, delivers the goods on this front.

I greatly enjoy how Morrison and Sharp use their British Isles frame of reference in writing/drawing this title (and not just this issue). Faeries, wizards, knights in shining armor...it's fun, it's different, it's trippy. Definitely not for everyone.

Fun book, written and drawn on a giant scale. I'm enjoying the ride. In fact, it's the only ongoing DC title I feel committed to reading on a regular basis.

THE GOOD:

-This was a pretty good issue. It's still far from the best this series can be, however.

-The art is really great. I love it.

-I liked the sword and sorcery take on Green Lantern. That was fun.

-I don't know how I'm gonna feel about next issue, but I can't wait to see more of that stoner Lantern.

THE BAD:

-I don't really feel like this warranted a whole issue, story-wise. Especially considering the story continues into issue 10, so it's not self-contained.

-Eh, I'm not crazy about an alternate earth storyline. Those have never been my favorite, and the end of this issue was rather predictable. Nothing like the crazy twist ending in issue 7.
