The bits in this review about Alan's relationships with women seem to be really stretching. I'm not speaking for every gay out there but I've heard many stories and known plenty who've followed this trajectory of getting into relationships with women. Most of them are not simply hiding. They may have thoughts, or might even see themselves as bi, but they're usually not using these women as straight up cover. And if they were, that was explicitly the dynamic of the relationship.

May 21, 2024This isn't just one of the best DC books in a while, it's one of only a few big two comics that I would say is essential queer reading. Read Full Review

May 21, 2024It's not often that our team at ComicsOnline calls a book "perfect", butAlan Scott: The Green Lanternhas earned that designation with this masterclass in storytelling. I truly appreciated howAlan Scott: The Green Lanterntook an additive approach to the character's history, and I have a feeling that this will be a fan-favorite chapter in the Green Lantern saga for many years to come. This book couldn't have been any better if they tried. Read Full Review

May 21, 2024What makes a hero? That question is definitively answered in this final chapter. Sheridans superb writing invokes the grit and determination of Scotts unbreakable will. Tormey, Herms, Tarragona and Gattoni flood the pages with exciting imagery. Readers will leave knowing no power is greater than love. Read Full Review

May 22, 2024While an argument can be made that Tim Sheridan's script wraps up the conflict a bit too nicely, that feeling is vastly outweighed by the profound or heartwarming moments on display elsewhere. Read Full Review

May 21, 2024Wherever Alan Scott goes next, it will be amazing to see if the events of this story stick with him. Any reader should be glad to have experienced Alan Scott: The Green Lantern, and Alan Scott: The Green Lantern #6 is no different. With strong writing and touching artwork, this story proves just how capable Alan is as a hero and a role model. After an excellent finale, Alan Scottremains among DC's best books over the past year.

Weird Science - Gabe Hernandez
May 22, 2024Alan Scott: The Green Lantern #6 ends the retconning miniseries with brief but entertaining action, richer context to the relationship between Alan Scott and the new Red Lantern in Geoff Johns's current JSA run, and much too much self-affirmation. If the goal was to elevate Alan Scott into his new status quo, Tim Sheridan missed the mark in more ways than one. Read Full Review

DC Comics News - Matthew Lloyd
May 22, 2024Alan Scott: The Green Lantern #6, like the entire series, is uneven. There are moments that really work and are quite compelling, but it all seems to be in service to retconning Alans sexuality as opposed to be in service of Alan as a heroic character. Sheridan tries to get the reader there, but the end is just unsatisfying in almost every way. If hes supposed to be bi-sexual thats a different story. If hes a gay man with a strong will power to live his life as he is then why would he lie and misrepresent himself to women? Its not heroic, its notnice. It highlights how forced changing Alans sexuality is. It feels like DC wants to have its cake and eat it too. The character ends up being weaker for it. Read Full Review

I recently had the chance to sit down with writer Tim Sheridan to discuss the finale of Alan Scott: The Green Lantern (check out the interview at the 🔗 in bio), & now that I've read the issue, I can say that it's a masterclass in landing a satisfying conclusion to a story. Sheridan, artist Cian Tormey, colorist Matt Herms, & lettered Lucas Gattoni have crafted a tale that is epic in scope, intimate in character development & visually complex. The artwork is stunning, w/ vibrant colors & dynamic action sequences that showcase Alan's evolving mastery of his powers. But it's the heart & soul of the story that truly shines, as Alan Scott comes to terms with his & and finds a new sense of purpose across timelines. Over these six issues, more

This was a solid miniseries with some good representation. It was never a top series for me, but I didn't have a bad time reading it. Don't let the clearly hate-inspired reviews throw you off. Give it a shot.

It's one thing to publish a badly written, soon-to-be-forgotten miniseries and to move on without making any waves -- many of those floating across the medium, especially in recent times -- but it's something else entirely to manage to permanently damage a character in six issues. This is a book by someone grasping at straws to fit into continuity what they clearly think is a crazy retcon, not a creative team willing to put in the time to research the character and understand the narrative & subtext woven into Alan Scott's entire publication history before this travesty. To be clear, this book is steeped in Red Scare-era propaganda and is remarkably ahistorical. In Alan Scott: The Green Lantern's world there's no way WWII could've follow more
