    Green Lantern Annual #3 provides a fantastic conclusion to GodHead, closing the book on one saga while laying the foundation for stories that will unfold for months to come. Thanks to the Lanterns Earth has found a new ally in the New Gods and hopefully there will be enough time for them to rebound from these events to play a role in the coming Darkseid War. There are great moments for a number of characters thanks to Robert Venditti's wonderful script and the best work that Billy Tan has turned in so far on this run. Read Full Review

    This was an unbelievable issue and finale to GODHEAD and while I'm not thrilled about how everything went down, the good more than outweighs the bad.  Just so many new ideas and concepts thrown at us coupled with amazing art that this is one of those jaw dropping issues that you just need to have.  It's odd to actually have GODHEAD finished but it was a satisfying ride and I'm happy that I was on it and I'm sure anyone else reading out there will feel the same.  I just wish that Highfather's reasons for ending the fight were a little more climactic....... But up until that point the book is solid gold, go check it out. Read Full Review

    Comic Spectrum - Shawn Hoklas Jan 5, 2015

    If you've read the advanced solicitations for March, then you'll have noticed that several of the Green Lantern titles have been canceled (Corps, New Guardians, Red Lanterns) with only Green Lantern and Sinestro remaining. Although their cancellations are imminent, with this event they're going out with a bang. There are plenty of great characters within these titles including John Stewart, Guy Gardner and Kyle Rayner that won't carry their own series, so hopefully DC has a plan to shine the light on them elsewhere in 2015.

    Events from the big two have been pretty dang mediocre, and while event fatigue has taken its toll on all comic book readers, Godhead is one of the few events in recent memory actually worthy of a read from start to finish. Venditti and crew truly knew what they were doing here and while there were some bumps along the road, overall, this was a fantastic event and a finale worthy of the story. Sure, the Highfather turn seemed to be handled a tad hastily, but all-in-all, this was a wonderful story both in concept and execution. Read Full Review

    IGN - Jesse Schedeen Dec 24, 2014

    It's a solid finale that concerns itself more with the characters and conflicts at hand rather than trying to set up future storylines. If only more event comics were like that. Read Full Review

    An unconvincing conclusionputs a cloud over the entire Godhead saga, but the art isdecent on this finale. Only for Lantern fans. Read Full Review

    Green Lantern Annual #3 did have the epic finale feel to it and for the most part was a satisfactory conclusion to Godhead, yes it did leave readers with asking questions (what event doesn't) but Tan's art collapse does knock the annual down a score. Read Full Review

    Comic Book Resources - Doug Zawisza Dec 29, 2014

    "Green Lantern Annual" #3 trips just before crossing the finish line, and rather than get up, dust itself off and finish the course, it languishes for a moment, then just decides to leave. There are plenty of ideas that are given range to roam, but the end of "Godhead" doesn't deliver the payout the epic promised at the start. Read Full Review
