While it doesn't quite stick the landing, “Green Lantern” #31 reaps several long germinating plot threads, while continuing to build on Venditti's long game. While the Green Lantern line's state of constant crossover may be a deterrent to some, ‘Uprising' is off to a simple but highly enjoyable start. Read Full Review

Part 1 of Uprisingkicks off in a big way. I thought we might have to wait a bit longer for some epic action scenes in this Green Lantern crossover, but Venditti and friends deliver all the goods here. If you aren't keeping up withtheGreen Lanternside of the DC universe, you are doing yourself a disservice. Read Full Review

The Green Lantern crossover may be an annual event for the foreseeable future. This may dilute the excitement to pick up these books and sometimes that lackluster feeling is well warranted. Hopefully Green Lantern Uprising continues to be as well plotted and illustrated as the kick off issue and wont exhaust the emotion spectrum for future crossover events. Read Full Review

This six part storyline continues next week in GREEN LANTERN CORPS #31 (Van Jensen, Bernard Chang). I'll see you then! Read Full Review

With engaging villains, a much improved sense of pace, lovely artwork, and a solid cliffhanger to tie things together, the first issue of "Uprising" leads me to believe that this may be the best Green Lantern crossover since, at least, "War of the Green Lanterns". Venditti is finally showing what he can do all at once and I couldn't be happier. Read Full Review

Green Lantern #31 is a really good issue with lots of action sprinkled with good character moments and a pinch of humor. I'm really interested in finding out what tricks the Durlans have up their tentacles as the Green Lanterns sets out to rescue their fellow Corpsmen who were replaced by the impostors.  Four out of five lanterns.

Billy Tan does have to cover quite a bit of ground in this issue. There are tons of characters on the page at once, not to mention a variety of ships, and one big mother of a planet plastered throughout these pages. He and colorist Alex Sinclair accomplish a great deal together and, aside from the previously mentioned lapse in clarity, do a good job of capturing the would-be battle. Read Full Review

Well we've been teased this big bad war for awhile now, and it's finally underway.  But even if the Green Lanterns are able to take out the main species responsible for starting all the trouble, I don't know how the universe will ever trust them again.  Unless there's a mass evidence pay per view in the universe, and even then I'm sure there are a few conspiracy theorists in the universe who won't buy it.  But that's not for this issue so let's move on.  This was an alright issue, not the giant war I expected, but we have five more parts to explore that.  The highlight like most times is the art, and I hope that Corps will be able to keep up to pace with this opening or we'll be in trouble, because like I said, It's just alright.

Green Lantern #31 feels like filler issue, which just seems wrong when it's actually the first part of a crossover event. Read Full Review

Other than that this a great way to open of this crossover with Green Lantern Corps. Hal has evolved as a leader, but only the inconsistent art hurt the issue overall. Read Full Review

There is a lot going on in this issue but it is handled masterfully. We get some time for character development before jumping to a large space battle where a twist that was hinted at earlier pays off. Despite the crazy amount of characters, objects, and backgrounds to render, the art remains consistently professional and clear. I can't ask for much more in a Green Lantern comic!
