Green Lantern teams up with Green Arrow to stop a cosmic drug cartel that's using Earth as its main distribution base! It's a brilliant homage to the team-ups of old, as Morrison and Sharp do the 2019 version in a story we can only call "Space Junkies!"
RATED T+
This book is a joy to read each month and Im almost amazed no one at DC is trying to rein Morrison and Sharp in. This is such a nutty and fun book that makes me wish more comic books were as willing to be this bold and off the wall. Read Full Review
Straight out of the 70s this team up between Green Lantern and Green Arrow is fantastic! Morrison and Sharp are at the top of their game with their tribute to the Hard Traveling Heroes. Fun from start to finish this is not an issue you want to miss! Read Full Review
In what some fans have already affectionately coined the series as "All-Star Green Lantern," this title continues to astound and amaze from one page into the next. As solicited previously, the Multiversal GLC make their presence known to Hal Jordan in what has become the most anticipated arc of this run. As readership on the title grows, the duo will continue to expand this series into such great heights while fans clamor for more. Read Full Review
The Green Lantern #8 is one of the most outrageously fun issues I've read in some time. Grant Morrison evokes both 1950's Jack Kirby and 1970's Denny O'Neil in a story that still manages to stick to the series basic foundation of being a police procedure despite all of the wonderful absurdity packed into the issue's 24 pages. Liam Sharp completes the road trip to the Bronze Age with some great nods of his own to Neal Adams. Read Full Review
Blending '50s Kirby with '70s Adams to produce something wholly reverent, timeless and unexpected, TGL delivers a lovely story of two brothers, Ollie and Hal. Read Full Review
I read the entire issue with a smile on my face. Can't give a book a better recommendation than that. Read Full Review
VerdictThe Green Lantern #8 is a fun nostalgic trip as Hal Jordan and Oliver Queen reconnect their long-time friendship. The issue is packed with references from stories that remind the reader of DC Comics long history and great creators like Jack Kirby and Neal Adams. Sharp is in fine form as he homages Adams in this tale and Morrison makes the reader feel glad to see Hal and Ollie palling around again, especially when it means that Xeen Arrow is still around.

I don't think this issue ever quite reaches the chaotic, brilliant highs of the first six issues, but it's a more human turn for the lead character and the best Green Arrow story in a while. Read Full Review
This issue sees Hal take some "down time" back on Earth, and provides the perfect opportunity to visit the famed Green Lantern/Green Arrow team-up " and let me tell you, this thing really ticks off all the boxes as a respectful tip of the hat to the untouchable, classic Denny O'Neil/Neal Adams favorite. Read Full Review
The Green Lantern #8 continues to build the case that there isn't a better DC book right now. Read Full Review
Strange, fun, and anchored by the gruffly hilarious dynamic between Hal Jordan and Ollie Queen, The Green Lantern #8 is another odd winner for the series. Read Full Review
Morrison does nothing halfway, so it goes without saying that when he decided to bring back the legendary Hal/Ollie team up, it was going to be the oddest, most over the top adventure he could possibly conceive. Definitely more than worth the three or four bucks. Read Full Review
Despite one tone-deaf scene The Green Lantern #8 is a strong tribute to the O'Neil and Adams era that is still distinctly Morrison. Read Full Review
Another classic team up between the Green Arrow and the Green Lantern. Their entertaining banter is only matched by the engaging plot. Read Full Review
The Green Lantern remains as ambitious as ever with no signs of slowing. Read Full Review
Hal Jordan and Oliver Queen reconnect and try to bust an intergalactic drug dealer while also saving the Earth from destruction. Grant Morrison and Liam Sharp show their respect to the classic Green Lantern/Green Arrow series by Denny O'Neil and Neal Adams. Morrison still stays on brand with the very strange nods to obscure DC history and continues to build his bizarre space epic for Hal Jordan. Read Full Review
Honestly a good story to read as a one off if you aren't following the series it stands alone really well. Although it is also kind of insane, it's a good time. Read Full Review
The O'Neil & Adams run was an attempt by the DC of the day to present socially relevant concepts in their superhero stories, usually with the subtlety of a trowel. In The Green Lantern #8 we get a light dose of that as well. The book is an enjoyable re-creation of the era it embraces, and not afraid to take sniggering shots at some of the zanier elements abounding in the wayback. Read Full Review
Grant Morrison employs a couple of his signature oddities in what is otherwise a solid comic. Read Full Review
This issue is a mind bender, but the over-the-top silver age craziness comes off more as a parody than an homage at points and doesn't really help the story much. I liked Liam Sharpe's Adams-inspired art, but this book is treading water even if the water is laced with tons of acid! Read Full Review
After 7 years of quitting comics, I finally decided to pick up reading DC's stuff again. And where better to start than with a Green Lantern/Green Arrow team up! The story was chaotic and confusing at times but I enjoyed the moments between Hal and Ollie. Great issue and looking forward to more!
That was bizarre... I love it.
Another brilliant issue. Like it's predecessors I had to read it twice to comprehend Morrison's story and then take a third spin to fully appreciate Sharp's art. This is how you make comics.
Prelude:
I've been waiting for "Space Junkies" since #1 when Morrison teased it at the end. Let's see if it lives up to that.
The Good:
I love Morrison's Green Arrow.
Xeen Arrow.
Love Liam Sharp's art.
Sinestro?!
The Bad:
This feels a bit too much even for me.
Conclusion:
It's a bit too wacky but still a good issue.
"How high are you right now?"
"Extremely."
This issue was a little too Grant Morrison and strange. Not bad, just... disengaging.
The giant arrow is certainly a moment.
Don't know what I just read, but I certainly didn't love it as much as last issue. Didn't hate it either.
THE GOOD:
-Well, at least the art was good.
-Xeen Lantern was a great inclusion.
-I'm excited for next issue, just because it won't have this storyline.
THE BAD:
-Man, both characters are really annoying in this issue.
-The trippy drug-fueled nature of this issue just did not work.
Absolute worst thing that Grant Morrison has ever written. If there was a Grant Morrison scale, this would be the “0.” It’s almost as if he took a story that he had planned for 80 pages and just randomly chose the pages to keep.
Sorry to hurt some of the Morrison fanboy's feelings, but this is yet more garbage by Morrison.
даже не знаю, что сказать...
Что вообще тут произошло
