ABSOLUTE POWER TIE-IN! Hal has a problem... He needs to charge his ring but the entrance to the Power Battery is a continent away. Plus, the skies over Earth are patrolled by Amanda Waller's modified Amazos, which leaves Hal with one choice...to ride into the Danger Zone! Don't worry, he totally got permission to use the Batplane for this mission *wink*. Plus, John Stewart's tale from GREEN LANTERN: WAR JOURNAL spills out into the battlefield of a new struggle brewing on the horizon...
Green Lantern #15 cements the character’s importance. Hal has been a significant event feature outside the main book, bringing weapons and reinforcements. But branching the story out through the supporting cast has broadened the crossover range immensely. Read Full Review

Green Lantern and Flash team up, but this time, it's the two hot heads Hal Jordan and Wally West. What a great escape and rush to recharge as the heroes race away from Waller's forces. Plus, we get Carol Ferris experiencing the ups and downs of being a hero, Alan Scott mentoring the unknown, and John Stewart getting us ready for the upcoming Civil Corps event. There is so much in just one issue; it's a fantastic time to be a Green Lantern fan. Read Full Review
Overall, Green Lantern #15 is a satisfying installment in the series. It delivers a thrilling adventure while also exploring the emotional complexities of Hal Jordan's character. Fans of the Green Lantern mythos will appreciate this return to form for the iconic hero. Read Full Review
The world of Hal Jordan never ceases to reach for new heights. Even with the Absolute Power shadow looming overhead, the will of the legendary Lantern doesnt falter. Solid writing and art craft an exciting companion to what is easily DCs biggest event in decades. Read Full Review
Green Lantern #15 has three storylines that are all connected in some fashion and rely on a strong focus on character. Be it the established relationships, or the core elements, character comes first and it far surpasses the premise of Absolute Power. I don't know that as a lead in to "All In Absolute Power will really be effective. Conversely, this comic, perhaps, more than any other DC book right now, demonstrates that it's not events or universe shaking catastrophes that make the best comics, it's simply great character driven stories.

Additionally, this release also features a back up story from Phillip Kennedy Johnson, acting as an epilogue to his 12-issue Green Lantern: War Journal series. Make sure you check this out to get a glimpse at what's coming next for the world of Green Lantern! Read Full Review
Green Lantern #15 continues to be the best Absolute Power tie-in, with tons of action, drama, personality, and meaningful contributions to the main event. Plus, Jeremy Adams continues to weave in plot developments for the regular series to keep Green Lantern fans happy, and the art team's output is excellent. Read Full Review
The main story of Green Lantern #15 is a strong tie-in to Absolute Power. From the uncle and nephew dynamic between Hal Jordan and Wally West to major developments for Carol Ferris as she makes her Star Sapphire return, there was a lot to enjoy in this story. It all drove up greater interest for what could happen next in this series post-Absolute Power. Read Full Review
HOLMES & HOUDINI: THE CURSE OF MORIARTY brings the newest hero team back to fight a monster with ties to the famous Sherlock Holmes and Liesel Van Helsing. David Wohl's central concept has promise, and the multi-member art team does a fine job, but the story execution is poorly plotted, slow, and dull. Read Full Review
Excellent issue with a lot of heart and good action. Good strong tie-in with the Absolute Power event, too. The art was pretty good and the writing was great. I'm not a regular Green Lantern reader, but if this is an indication of the quality of the book outside of the event, I may stick around.
