Geek Dad - Ray Goldfield
Nov 05, 2025This comic doesn't demonize anyone, but it makes clear that this is self-destructive behavior that blows up in Jo's face. In the end, her decisions lead her back to Evergreen, where Hand has recently died and the town is back in a shape where she can start over and reconnect with all her old friends. Read Full Review

But Why Tho? - William Tucker
Nov 05, 2025Absolute Green Lantern Issue 8 is an unbelievable character issue. It's jaw-dropping in its intricacy, stepping away from the levels of Lanterns and Alien brutality to explore the main character for the first time. Read Full Review

Nov 19, 2025There are a lot of fun little moments seeded throughout this issue, especially the Abigail one for me, but I liked getting a handle on Jo at this point. She's always been a compelling character and this iteration of her presents some solid flaws to work with because of her upbringing and how she took things to heart in a way that she shouldn't have, at least so strongly. It's a pretty dense issue with a lot going on, a lot of changes, and the exploration works well in covering a ton of ground. I'm still wary of the larger Green Lantern side of things because even with all the explanations we've had it still doesn't feel as solid as it should. But this helps make it easier to connect with the characters involved, at least. Read Full Review

After seven issues that never quite rose above the level of "fine", at long last we get an issue firing on all cylinders, right from that slap-in-the-face first panel. Even Lindsay, whose art hasn't quite been up to the high standards set by the other Absolute titles, finds things to sink his teeth into here

Al Ewing is not my preferred writer sometimes, but this series rocks hard. I like the writing for sojourner Mullien, this is the first time in a while ever since Far Sector that I got attached to the character

I love Green Lantern, mostly Hal, Kyle and Guy. I read Far Sector (all of it) and it was just... okay. Now we have Absolute Green Lantern and I haven't been a fan. I was going to drop it last issue but it was a light week. What an improvement this was, no action, fair enough but a nice little story away from all that enlightenment crap. Good enough to have me buy next issue at least.

This "origin"issue didn't endear me to the character of Jo Mullein much at all. I didn't find much in her to empathize or identify with. That's a problem when she's the lead character in the book. Furthermore, after 8 issues, the storyline is so decompressed and slow-moving that I find myself rapidly losing interest in what began as an exciting adventure. Definitely at the bottom of an otherwise excellent Absolute line.

I can't believe the more Ewing writes, the more Jo resembles main universe Hal. She comes from a single parent family where the parent keeps telling her to be restrained, yet she has this urge to break out. Later She quits her job because she has problems with her superior. Ewing even stole Hal's villain Black Hand and Hal's city for her.
