Grant Morrison's runs on mainstream comics are often divisive, but I don't know if he's ever found a book where he's better suited than the Green Lantern franchise. Read Full Review

The weird-factor continues to increase inThe Green Lantern (2018-) #3, but as this story grows weirder, it also grows more intense. There's a darkness that's lurking just beneath the surface of this tale, and we're only pages away from it showing itself; in fact, a taste of what's to come is offered in the issue's final scene. Read Full Review

Another strong "episode" of Grant Morrison's cop drama take on Green Lantern, The Green Lantern #3 is both a narrative and artistic triumph, and one of DC's very best ongoing books right now. Read Full Review

Hal Jordan solves the disappearance of Earth and has a heart to heart with "God" in the process. Hal is rightfully disgusted by the actions of the Dhorians, but Hal may have taken things a step to far by dispensing his own brand of justice. What will be the consequences of Hal's actions? Read Full Review

The Green Lantern #3 is another cosmic romp that you'd expect with Grant Morrison's name on the cover. With a combination of far out cosmic commerce, police drama and a satirical look at the shortsightedness of the human race this issue has a bit of everything going on. Liam Sharp and Steve Oliff do a great job bringing it all to life in this great issue. Read Full Review

Morrison and Sharp certainly served up a nostalgic, funny comic that isn't afraid to pick at its reader as well as the world they live in. More than worth the couch change. Read Full Review

A cosmic crime drama that simultaneously asks us existential questions about our happiness and purpose in the universe. Read Full Review

Morrison mixes the police procedural stuff with some really far out and cosmic ideas, really pushing this comic to its potential! Read Full Review

So far, I'menjoying this new version of the classic hero! Read Full Review

From cover to cover, I am hooked on the artwork in this issue, and in the series as a whole so far. Sharpe and Oliff are a strong team, and The Green Lantern is the perfect place to show that. The story keeps you hooked, and continues to give us something different, and really weird, and I love it. Go pick it up right now and read! Already read it? READ IT AGAIN! Read Full Review

"The Green Lantern" #3 is a weird, wild and wonderful exploration Hal Jordan's morality. Read Full Review

An interesting albeit off the rails issue, definitely worth your time. Read Full Review

There's an enjoyable flow to this that plays with big ideas that reminds me of classic Star Strek in a way that's definitely a positive. Morrison is having fun here in how he's managing the whole thing and we make out with some absolutely stunning artwork from Liam Sharpe. Read Full Review

Liam Sharp’s art is amazing in this issue as the detailed backgrounds make space seem empty and full at the same time. The pairing of Morrison and Sharp is really making The Green Lantern a must read. Read Full Review

If Liam Sharp doesn't get nominated and win a Eisner trophy for his work on this issue, it'll be a travesty. Read Full Review

The fate of the Earth is sealed! And most of its inhabitants seem cool with it. Hal Jordan's by-the-books police technique might not jibe with every sleep-n-eat and ne'er-do-well, but by gum there's going to be law and order in this galaxy, if he has to arrest bug-eyed slacker to do it! Read Full Review

We will see where this month's cliffhanger takes us, but for now, The Green Lantern continues to be a knockout read. Read Full Review

Grant Morrison and Liam Sharp continue their interesting and entertaining run on Green Lantern who both add a plethora of DC Easter Eggs that makes the story jam packed with delicious outer space goodness which also channels that innocent silver age feel of the 60s. All in all, another interesting issue as Hal Jordan goes face to face with God and gets closer to the mystery of Commander Mu and his villainous plan. Read Full Review

In short, this comic continues the weirder-than-expected style that has been on-going since the first issue, and the ending panel is the kind which I might actually say is shocking. Not shocking in that Hal hasnt done things similar to this before, but more because it comes from Hals raw, angry response to the situation. I imagine this moment might spark some controversial exchanges, but it doesnt detract completely from the fact that Morrison and Sharp have become a great team for this series. Read Full Review

A wild and wacky science fiction romp! Read Full Review

This isn't the strongest issue of the series thus far, but those last few pages significantly raise the stakes for next issue, and we're definitely on board for the long haul. Read Full Review

It's weird, disturbing and alien as heck, with a final page shocker. I'm just not feeling it as much as I would have liked to. Read Full Review

Three issues in, The Green Lantern is a bit of a jarring shift from the Green Lantern comics of the last 15 years. While the aliens and intrigue are engaging both visually and storywise, there is a clear lack of character work missing. So much so, that it may be difficult to get this to feel like a Green Lantern comic. The humor in the issue leans towards satire and it's not clear if that's good or bad, but it was clever and enjoyable and was probably the best part of the comic along with Sharp's Woodesque aliens. Read Full Review

All in all its a flawed book. But I can't say I'm really surprised. DC had a good thing going with Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps and Green Lanterns. But they chose to fix them, when they really didn't need fixing at all. Read Full Review

I love this comic and the series. Very interesting auction scene. The creatures Morrison introduces are great. Overall, a fun issue and I look forward to reading the next one.

[[DISCLAIMER: THE WRITER OF THIS REVIEW ACKNOWLEDGES THAT 100 PERCENT OF COMIC BOOK ARTISTS DRAW BETTER THAN HE EVER COULD & THAT MOST COMIC BOOK WRITERS WRITE BETTER (COMIC BOOKS) THAN HE EVER COULD...so with that out of the way...]]

This series is THAT good. Art. Writing.

It has this quality, like it's simultaneously from the 70's, 90's--and 2019!

Creative and a welcome change of formula for Green Lantern. This is already a modern classic.

Without the annoying dialogue quirks that really hindered my enjoyment of last issue, this issue is the best one yet. We get a really cool story and a great ending that I hope to see play out spectacularly. It looks especially bad considered the last arc of Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps, so I hope Grant Morrison is aware of that and may even bring it up in the future.

Lots of fun!

Morrison and Sharp continue what I think is one of, if not the best sci-fi series out right now.

Let me just start by saying how gifted Liam Sharp is! Hes an unstoppable force of nature! The levels of detail on this book are amazing! Every time you turn the page is a new surprise! I was in awe the whole time while reading this book and ill be damned if Liam isnt nominated for an Eisner this year.
As for the script... Is Grant Morrison. The guy is a genius. Even if you find it boring, the comics he writes always have something with value. And i love comics that makes me think.
I love how the shepherd is like a crazy leader that offers freedom and happiness, but we know its bullshit, but we fall for that shit anyways. It has been like that forever. We always bow to lunatics because we believe in their crap and in the end, when its all said and done, were fucked, just like those aliens in the end of this issue. Crying for help.
At least thats how i interpreted it.
Good story. Good art. Loving it so far. more

I love this comic.

Prelude:
Well, last issue definitely finished on a cliffhanger. Let's see how Morrison goes in "Slave Lords of the Stars".

The Good:
I love the auction.

Love how Hal commands the lanterns in the field.

The Shepard is really cool.

Interesting cliffhanger.

Sharp's art was amazing.

The Bad:
I do dislike how large of a scale this is. I don't know, it just feels to be too big for a solo series as far as Earth is concerned.

Conclusion:
A great issue but I do have problems with how large scale it is.

Yes, a classic Morrison issue. With some incredible art by Sharp.

I saw the cover for this issue and chuckled. Grant Morrison and Liam Sharp have a lot of balls. It's hard to stroll past a cover in which Green Lantern is staring down a god and declaring him under arrest. 

The story is just as insane. The planet has been shrunk down and sold in an auction to an alien slaver that resembles the Hebrew God of the old testament. 

The Green Lantern Corps breaks up the illicit activities but the twist is that the earth's inhabitants are perfectly fine with being enslaved. I'm sure there is some meta-commentary here somewhere. 

Even after the Slaver is revealed to be a hideous Lovecraftian monster the planet's leaders still remain enthralled which leads to Hal putting the earth under house arrest until it comes to its senses. 

This issue is dense and there is a ton of action, humor and plot advancement swirling about. I admire the audacity of this creative team. I read most of the book mouth agape at the proceeding events. Hal Jordan as the straight man is hilarious and this take on the character grows on me with each passing issue. 

Liam Sharp and Steve Oliff are magnificent in this issue and are quickly becoming one of my favorite creative teams. Liam's style reminds me of a blend of Neil Adams and Ethan Van Sciver. It's great company to be in league with.

There have been so many ideas and unique concepts presented in these three issues that it may seem overwhelming. This can be good or bad depending on your storytelling preferences
. 
All in all, this is a fun read and one of the most unique series on the shelves today.

this is definitely a comic (and series) that HAS to be read at least twice the get the big overall picture of what Grant is building towards. Seeing the scope of what Grant is doing...

this is one AMAZING comic! Love Grant's commentaries within this issue!! FUCKING BRILLIANT!!
also the very last page was PERFECT!

Agora sim, depois de duas edições começa a ficar bom de verdade

OK...

So first these cosmic warlords are bidding over earth like Lovecraftian entities at an auction.

Then God shows up.

THE GOOD:

-I love the art. Nothing else I have to say about that.

-I also love all of the weird creatures that Morrison and Sharp conjure up. They really stood out in this issue.

-The auction was pretty great, I enjoyed that scene a lot.

-I thought that Shepherd was a really fun and interesting villain.

-I also liked the artificial sun, and how everyone hated Green Lantern. I find it hard to believe people would turn that quickly though, even for superpowers!

-The scene with Shepherd's fuel source was twisted and effectively disturbing.

THE BAD:

-While I enjoyed Sharp's art overall, that page with the Justice League was just… ew!

-I will admit there was some weirdness that took me out of the story here.

-I wasn't a fan of the end. I already had issues with Jordan before, but now he's gone from uncompelling to… well, read the issue! more

A good issue of 2000AD. Not a good issue of a Hal Jordan series. Grant just doesn't get Hal.

A cool idea, but the execution is too disjointed, almost amateurish.

Unfortunately this is another issue that you need to read multiple times to even like it! It is very confusing and and far fetched. Art work is very good

I hated this issue. I don't need Morrison or anyone else going on about their distaste for religion or anything like that. This issue just came off as super anti-religion and self-righteous and in the very end Hal murders someone in cold blood and tells all of the other Green Lanterns to just cover it up. I get that it was a bad guy but the good guys still aren't supposed to just shoot people down. This series hasn't been great so far but this was a particularly bad issue.
