Welcome new artist MIGUEL SEPULVEDA Continued from last months STORMWATCH #9! BLEEZ and the rest of the surviving RED LANTERNS head for ZAMARON to confront the STAR SAPPHIRES about their role in the poisoning of the RED POWER LANTERN.
This entire issue is about velocity rather than ferocity. It is a constant and sustained moving ahead, a surging forward, a sense of being impelled rather than compelled. To open with Atrocitus speeding through space after the end of last month's “Exodus” is just a wonder. And as with any wonder, as with any classic, I want to go back in time and relive that experience over and over again. Read Full Review
Red Lanterns number nine is step up in my opinion and the more focused story is elevated by some great artwork, albeit there's some continuity issues that need to be resolved. If this is the start of a new era for Red Lanterns then I'll just say this, I'll have more of this please! Four out of five lanterns. Read Full Review
The movie Prometheus comes out this week, and while that's probably just coincidence, this issue evokes the feeling of being trapped on a space ship with a terrible monster, although Atrocitus wreaks havoc more like the Hulk than a xenomorph. Milligan's writing of the guest Stormwatch team is superb, making me wonder why he hasn't made his cast of Red Lanterns just as lifelike, quirky, and engaging. I can't review this comic without mentioning the hilarious fight between Midnighter and Dex-Starr the cat, which offers the series its first truly memorable moment. There are still a few clunky bits of writing -- mainly the scenes with Rankorr and some bad dialog ("Maximum solar power!") -- but overall this effort is a vast improvement that has pumped some life back into the heart of this series.

Read pages 1, 12, and 19 & 20 in the store, and then put this back on the shelf. Read Full Review
A fast, action packed issue. Atrocitus seeks out Abysmus as the red lantern power battery continues to die. Much of the issue is a slug fest with Stormwatch, but overall it was enjoyable. The artwork is very good and helps enhance the story.
Entertaining issue but it’s best to think about this issue as little as possible. Extremely unnecessary Stormwatch tie in
