I am loving where we are going and can't wait to see how this all concludes. Read Full Review
Morrison and Sharp take everything we've ever known about Green Lantern and the Guardians, turns it all on its head, and makes it into a pteradactyl, and I, for one, could not be more thrilled. This issue is amazing! Read Full Review
In the middle of two months of Future State, this is the only main-line DC book publishing"the first of its final two issues. It seems like an outlier, but in many ways it's not. This issue seems to be Grant Morrison's meta musings on the eventual transformation of the Green Lantern franchise. Read Full Review
On planet Athmoora, in Sector 2814, Fekk and Sister Samandra witness a deadly encounter and try to contact lantern Hal Jordan for help. Meanwhile, Hal is dealing with the effects of Ultrawar and the new role the Young Guardians must play. We are given the background of The Majistry including their power source and agenda. Then, Hal is given a new and disturbing mission that he is drawn into before he has time to prepare.The Story: Im really interested in where this plot is going. This issue blends elements of traditional fantasy and sci-fi. It also delves into the psyche of the Green Lantern Corps. I like it when the typical heroes of a story challenge my view of them. And focusing on Hals perspective accomplishes that.Liam Sharp uses a brilliant color palette to highlight tight, detailed drawings. There are several panels that left me breathless. I cannot say enough good things about the crafting of the artwork in this issue. Read Full Review
The Green Lantern: Season Two #11 has some heady narrative, but it accomplishes the tasks of defining what this series is leading up to in the next and final chapter. Grant Morrison has put Hal in perhaps his greatest challenge yet, faced with the gravest of situations against some of his greatest foes with nothing but his bravado and a sword between him and the end. And should he win his reward just might be getting punished for possessing the very qualities that make him the greatest being to wield a power ring. Between Morrison's set up and Liam Sharp's stunning artwork, this one's a great experience. Nine out of ten lanterns. Read Full Review
The Green Lantern Season Two #11 is a great issue that revisits the wonderful travels that Grant and Liam have put Hal on, all the while setting up the pieces to continue Ultrawar. There are doubts presented to Hal being a Green Lantern, but the last pages show us a man with no ring and his back against the wall, still willing to face it all. I can't wait to see what the next issue brings. Read Full Review
With only one issue remaining, it seems The Green Lantern is more than ready to stick its landing. Read Full Review
The Green Lantern: Season Two #11 sets the table for the finale next month. Morrison has connected the dots along the way so that Hal is at a showdown with the Majistry and a crossroads with the Young Guardians. Sharp's art continues to be stunning, though it almost feel like this crossroads should've come earlier in the series so that it could be developed and explored. Read Full Review
Make of this comic what you will. I'm barely hanging on to the basic ideas at play, confident that there's some deeper level of something I'm just not understanding. This is a wild trip and I want to get off and put it behind me forever. Read Full Review

Fantastic stuff - from Morrison's meta commentary on the state of DC Comics to Sharps amazing artwork this is a great one. Sad to see this series end next month.
My god this is great. And Hector Hammond too - I love how despite DC changes on a whim sometimes, Morrison rolls with it, explains it away in a sentence or a panel, and moves on to the story he was telling. Man, I'm going to miss Morrison and Sharp on this series.
Absolutely phenomenal.
Morrison's mike drop is one for the ages as the Emerald Knight takes on unimaginable odds; nothing new of course.
I love how, just like the Gentry and Empty Hand from Multiversity, the final enemy could be considered analogues for corporatism and manufactured story control while the new guardians are placeholders for his own disillusionment with DC's new regime over these past few years.
One more to go, and I'm sure I won't be disappointed!
"In Brightest Day, In Blackest Night..."
Definitely a brilliant isuue. However, I have to say the villian turned out to be Hector Hammond is a bit... disappointing. And some content (Vietnam Lantern, Teen Lantern, etc...) echoes the recent shitty strategies of DC is rather disturbing.
At this point, you know what you're getting from Morrison and Sharp, and the duo is still going strong as they near the endpoint of their highly unique run on Green Lantern.
5.6!
So much talking.
Sure, there's some neat meta reading to be had here. There's also a lot of mind-numbing exposition that I can't force myself into liking. I just wish I could get back on board with this series.
I just do not find anything enjoyable about Morrison's "writing". The art is great, though.
