    It all goes to make Absolute Green Lantern feel like a truly cosmic story and yet incredibly human as well, creating a one-of-a-kind combination that has me glued to every single page. Where the series goes from here is anyone's guess, but it's already created a stellar foundation that feels like nothing we've seen in the franchise before and yet still true to some of the hallmarks we've always loved, and that feat is nothing short of amazing.

    Nerd Initiative - Matthew Roth May 7, 2025

    Absolute Green Lantern #2 takes a turn towards brutality and shows the reader that not all alien contact is what we dream of. We are left wondering just what is happening with Hal as some questions begin to get answered hooking me to come back for more. The anime style art with the old school science fiction artwork should be a selling point and a reason why you must pick this up! Read Full Review

    Comic Watch - Chad Burdette May 8, 2025

    Absolute Green Lantern #2, while not answering some of the major questions surrounding the story, it does continue to be an interesting story full of mystery even though the events of the issue seem to spin its wheels a bit. Read Full Review

    I'm not a big Green Lantern guy, but this series definitely has my interest plus I'm digging Jahnoy Lindsay's manga inspired approach to character design and storytelling. Read Full Review

    The Comic Book Spot - Greg Thomson May 8, 2025

    Absolutely cannot wait for the next issue, as I said, some questions answered, though many remain, but that's what I love about it, the suspense is being built into something spectacular. Can't wait to see how this arc unfolds. Read Full Review

    Comic Book Revolution - Kevin Lainez May 9, 2025

    Brutality has become a theme for the Absolute Universe and Absolute Green Lantern #2 continues that. Specifically, it uses brutality to show how terrifying a First Contact event can be and make Abin Sur's presence felt in the most impactful way possible. Best of all Al Ewing does so in a way where he balances Abin Sur's benevolent way of speaking with actions that leave you terrified for Hal, Jo, John, Guy, and others. Read Full Review

    KPB Comics - Phillip Creary May 7, 2025

    Absolute Green Lantern #2 sees Abin Sur's arrival bring judgment and brutal, vividly illustrated action, though the issue primarily functions as a flashback, slowing the present-day momentum. Read Full Review

    Major Spoilers - Matthew Peterson May 13, 2025

    Doubling down on the horror and showing us Hal Jordan at his lowest, this issue is still strong, but the timelines confused me. Read Full Review

    Get Your Comic On - Christopher Mills May 7, 2025

    Absolute Green Lantern #2 shows us more of the events that took place with Abin Sur, but the end of the issue only leaves us with more questions than we had when first reading this issue. Al Ewing manages to still create interest with this storyline, but at the same time, it almost feels like no progress has been made and that we are at the same place where the issue started. Depending on how #3 plays out, this will either be a well-executed buildup that will lead into something truly unexpected, or it will be a slow convoluted drag that is better read as a TPB.

    Weird Science - Gabe Hernandez May 7, 2025

    Absolute Green Lantern #2is a dour, gruesome, confusing attempt at making the Green Lantern lore a sci-fi horror mashup. Janoy Lindsay's artwork beautifully portrays the horror of Earthlings slaughtered by an alien, but Al Ewing's script puts too much emphasis on shock and intricate narrative flow. It's weird and different but not entertaining. Read Full Review

    The new Absolute Green Lantern series is not giving us enough information to glom onto to really start getting invested in the series. The spooky mystery is the main focus so far. Read Full Review
