On the edge of reality, Green Lantern Hal Jordan and Star Sapphire face death by power ring firing squad! Yes, Hal and Carol Ferris reunite (sort of) as they fight their way out of the improbable turn of events of the previous issue! In fact, with what happens next issue, they may not want to survive this one...
Whether new or old to the Lantern mythos this series provides an excellent jumping-on point for any reader. This series continues to completely outdo itself with each new chapter. Delivering something truly unique and magnificent to readers all at once. From the pure genius scripting of Grant Morrison to the master class artistry of Liam Sharp and right back to the beautifully rendered colorwork of Steve Oliff, this series will truly stand the test of time being backed with so much love from these three masters of the craft.

New ideas, big teases and Star Sapphires all thrill and excite as TGL delivers a clever penultimate issue that lays the groundwork for an epic finale and season 2. Read Full Review
Grant Morrison writes bigger-scale stories than anyone else in the industry, and when he's on his game the result is truly sweeping. When he's not on his game, it can be simply confusing. And then you have times when it's both at the same time, like The Green Lantern #11, a fascinating penultimate issue of the first cycle of his Green Lantern reinvention. Read Full Review
Bottom Line: Morrison and Sharp have combined their powers to create a book that brings all of the heady, conceptual window dressing you'd find in an Iain Banks sci-fi novel along with all the witty banter and fun you'd find in an Avengers movie. Read Full Review
Grant Morrison's writing raises readers' anticipation to new levels in this issue. Watching Hal maneuver his way through an army of his fellow officers, while knowing an unimaginable threat grows closer, allows us to share in the Lantern's desperation. Read Full Review
The ongoing story remains pretty amazing, but this singular issue is peak heady Grant Morrison storytelling. Sometimes that's good, sometimes that's thick. Read Full Review
The Green Lantern #11 is a book that is trying to do a lot of things all at the same time and for the most part manages to do it effectively. It's also the first time we're seeing just what creators like Grant Morrison and Liam Sharp can do with Green Lantern, a property that has been in a bit of a creative rut for awhile. Read Full Review
Some silly fun is reason enough to enjoy this otherwise threadbare plot.Kudos for not putting Green Lantern Batman right on the cover. Read Full Review
The Green Lantern #10 may not be the strongest issue of Grant Morrison's run so far, but it is nonetheless and entertaining and dare I say it, fun, issue. The stage is set for the end of the first twelve issue "season" and we know something big is just one month away. From the great Batman dig to seeing Hal and Carol together again for the first time it's still one of DC's best books on the stands. Read Full Review
The Green Lantern simultaneously embraces the strangeness that a single series can indulge in, while still delivering lots of bridges to bigger ideas (in and outside of comics), functioning as something of a letter to DC Comics' true golden age in the mid to late 1980s. Read Full Review
The Green Lanterns of the multiverse have united to rescue some of their fellow Lanterns lost in the sea of multiple Earths. Hal and his fellow Lanterns track their fellow Corpsmen to a strange Earth where they are hosted by an even stranger being. These Lanterns may need to worry more about themselves than their colleagues or they may end up lost in the multiverse with them. Read Full Review
We all know something big is coming next issue…and The Green Lantern #11 gets us there. It's just not as outstandingly as it could be. Still, there's strong characterization. The examination of the Hal/Carol dynamic is worth the read alone. Next issue should be a doozie as it pulls together the three different plot lines that have been going since issue #9.

A golden grail of a comic.
Prelude:
I've been enjoying Morrison's run so far, albeit with some confusion with the concepts. Let's see how this issue goes with that.
The Good:
Still loving all of the past Silver Age stuff in this.
Green Lanterns of the Multiverse are still really cool and those oaths... man, those are good.
Character interactions were on point. Morrison really has everyone's voices down.
Liam Sharp's art is still amazing.
The Bad:
Plot felt like it jumped around a bit without the connections needed.
Zundernell was a bit weak and confusing as a character.
Conclusion:
A strong issue with some great character work. However, Morrison is getting a bit too caug more
This series isn't for everyone but damn I love it.
A little bit confused at points, but a good idea.
A bit all over the place but the build to the Qwa-Man confrontation is keeping me hooked.
Aside from the odd panel, Sharp's art is still brilliant.
Enjoyed last issue a lot more.
The Golden Lantern twist was very anticlimactic, but I'm very excited for the final confrontation between Hal and the Qwa-Man that was cut short last issue.
Liam Sharp's art is still fantastic as always.
In a run that’s been hit or miss, this is mostly a miss for me. Sharp continues to be amazing though.
I didn't like this one.
THE GOOD:
-Okay, I hate the stoner lantern, but his oath was absolutely hilarious. I was so dead inside after reading this issue, however, that I probably would've laughed at anything.
THE BAD:
-This was incredibly boring. It took me forever to get through this.
-Even Liam Sharp seems tired. His art is really losing it's flair fast.
-I kind of feel like Grant Morrison is using his weirdness now in place of compelling characters and an interesting story, as much as it pains me to say.
-Dear God. I cannot stand that Batman Green Lantern. His dialogue is an atrocity.
-That interlude was just so random.
