Mar 26, 2024As a life-long fan of all things Green Lantern, I consider this series an absolute win in my book. I would love to see Alan's heroic journey continue past the next issue, and I hope this creative team receives the opportunity to do so. Read Full Review

Geek Dad - Ray Goldfield
Mar 26, 2024Given this context and the segment we see at the start of the issue, I'm guessing we're headed for a tragic final issuebut first we've got one epic Cold War battle brewing, complete with some long-awaited guest stars in the cliffhanger. Read Full Review

Mar 26, 2024The pen-ultimate issue of the original Green Lantern burns bright with a chapter that cant be mixed. Sheridan balances heavy action and drama with his excellent script. Tormey, Herms, and Gattoni provide the vivid imagery to give readers an Alan Scott ready for the immense threat lying in his path. This series continues to be a must-have every time it drops.

Mar 26, 2024Alan Scott: The Green Lantern is at its best when it focuses on the relationship between Alan and Vladimir. That's exactly what this issue does, and it's why it works so well. Even when Vladimir is trying to appear as a heartless monster, the heart in this book screams out and makes for a rewarding and touching experience. While there are some serious pacing issues, it's still hard not to love this series more with every passing issue. Read Full Review

Weird Science - Gabe Hernandez
Mar 26, 2024Alan Scott: The Green Lantern #5 gives readers everything this miniseries has been missing - action, excitement, drama, and cool wow moments. There's even a retcon that serves to align Alan Scott with the rest of the Green Lantern Corps in an interesting way. That said, the retcon creates decades' worth of plot holes, so continuity kings may have a tough time with the change. Read Full Review

Another amazing issue! This is the only book I'm picking up this week. tbh, probably an 8 or 9 but I'm rating it 10 because of the weirdos who try and tank the rankings every month. If you don't like it, read something else, weirdos! lol

I think that this issue is trying to do too much, especially considering that it's a mini. I was really along for the ride when it was just a story about Alan coming to terms with his sexuality and the doomed love story, and I thought that Vlad's character was and continues to be fantastic. But in this issue, I found the lore hard to follow/understand (maybe it's just because I don't know Green Lantern things), and the cavalry showing up underwhelming because we've never seen these characters in this book before. It seems hard to imagine how this will all wrap-up in one more issue. I really like the intense disconnect which continues between Vlad and Alan, with the latter imploring the former, who most likely is a firm atheist, to care a more

A fairly effective issue. I would rate it a 10 to make the homophobes mad, but I realize it's what they live for and I think they should die.

Should've just been a Red Lantern mini.

This mini has come to nothing except recons and poor characterizations. If you like this book because you like this iteration, that is one thing. However if you like this cause you, in delusion, think it is anything like Alan was designed to be... well that's a special kind of special. This feels like character assassination at its finest. Wiping out everything dear to poor Alan. Retroactively reducing my enjoyment of the Alan I know and love from the Golden Age stories.

"Confess your crimes-- save your immortal soul!" - Alan Scott: The Green Lantern #5, page 5, panel 4. As far as I'm concerned, these words alone tell you the Alan Scott of AS: TGL is not any Green Lantern we've ever seen before -- certainly not the Golden Age Green Lantern, angry willful clever complicated hero that he was, who never once made a single allusion to religion, who always seemed to believe in nothing but his work and his own two hands and his determination to survive. The inexplicable insertion of religion as the be-all, end-all of 1940s internalized homophobia is not just reductive but antithetic to the character. Worse still, it seems to have gone almost entirely unacknowledged by audiences at large, as if a sudden case more
