BRIGHTEST DAY continues as what readers have been asking for finally arrives: a male Star Sapphire in the form of the Predator. But how is this entity unlike the others? And what does it want with Carol Ferris? Meanwhile, the White Lantern is defended by an unlikely hero
Great read that pushed the Star Sapphires in a new direction and redefined, at least for the time being, a character in much need of moving out of Hal's shadow. Great resolution of the Predator's nature and Larfleeze was, as usual, stealing every scene he was in. Finally, Mahnke's art was stellar in this issue. Top marks all around here. Read Full Review
This issue really rocks on a number of levels with Geoff Johns putting together some great character work that adds a ton of credibility to the Star Sapphires that the group had been lacking when compared to some of the other Lantern Corps. Add in some very strong work from Doug Mahnke and his pantheon of inkers and you've got fantastic issue despite some nagging flaws that bring it down. Read Full Review
Plus, it's Larfleeze in Las Vegas, people. Read Full Review
Then maybe they wouldn't have to rely on sexy covers to sell their comics. (Not that I'm complaining, mind you.) Read Full Review
Overall a pretty good issue story-wise and mildly disappointing art. The "New Guardians" storyline isn't nearly over, and I'm sure Geoff has surprises in store for us, I'm just wishing some of the story angles won't be left open ended like some have been. Read Full Review
The part of the new "Green Lantern" I liked the most? Some of the emotional beats between Carol and Hal. It's been an on-again, off-again relationship for ages, but Johns is fleshing out their past, present, and future here in a satisfying way. I'm definitely interested in that more than I am about the bad guy hunting down the emotional entities. At the end of the day, this is a fun issue, but I think the parts I'm going to remember are the quieter moments of storytelling. Read Full Review
Green Lantern is certainly not as good as it was during, or even before, Blackest Night, but it is finally beginning to catch up some. If you werent a GL fan before, this probably wont be the issue to win you over, but if you were, then this issue will be a good bit of fun. Id like to see the overall plot of the kidnapping of the entities start to get explored some more in the near future, but so long as the character writing stays strong, Ill be back every month to see what shenanigans the various Corps get up to.
