Geek Dad - Ray Goldfield
Oct 16, 2024The friendship between the two youngest Lanterns should be intriguing to follow. Add in Larfleeze on the rampage, and there are a lot of stars here but the biggest may be Carol Ferris, who has to stand on her own and save the ship in a dramatic segment that goes a long way toward explaining her rise as a member of the Justice League. Adams has also been doing some great work in building her and Hal's relationship, potentially elevating them to the status of one of DC's true power couples. Read Full Review

Oct 16, 2024War marches on as the Civil Corps battle rages! Thanagar is gone, putting the heroes in quite the spot. Hal and John team up to show readers why they make a great team, and Carol is starting to blend her skills and powers as her path thrusts her forward. While the characters grow and showcase, the villains and threats keep coming, looking like they will be unyielding. Plus, another character makes their return to the series, and they could be a significant key to success. Jeremy Adams delivers character and drama, while Xermanico packs it with action and style.

DC Comics News - Matthew Lloyd
Oct 16, 2024Despite the "Negatives section, Green Lantern #16 is a very good issue. It's the hangover from the Green Lantern Civil Corps Special that lingers that informs the "Negatives. Even that isn't so much about the story in the Special, but the other things it builds on. Green Lantern #16 has great art from Xermanico and Adams works his magic with character and interesting creative story ideas involving DC Universe connections. It's the interruptions and unhelpful connections that are the "Negatives for this series. Read Full Review

But Why Tho? - William Tucker
Oct 16, 2024Green Lantern #16 escalates the war. The loss of Thanagar has scattered the forces and completely changed the conflict. But at least in this near era, Hal Jordan is not alone. Read Full Review

This storyline is truly epic, with flawless writing, coloring and artwork! Jeremy Adams has crafted a thrilling galactic saga that just happens to be a Green Lantern tale, with homages to Star Trek and Star Wars thrown in. And just when you think it can't get even more thrilling, the last page of the story adds another familiar and terrifying threat to the mix. This is every bit as epic as Geoff Johns' best work from 15-20 years ago, and should be a Top 10 title. While it's not necessarily a clean jumping-on point for new readers, Adams does a tremendous job bringing new readers up to speed. The last 18 months of storytelling are really paying off, and I for one couldn't be happier with this book!

Ok that opening Splash of Mogo tearing apart Thanagar... amazing.That is how you do a splash page. Also I just say, way to make the stakes high, opening an issue with over a billion deaths... like ok you have my attention! The villains also have a real plan at universal domination, and even though the leader falls they have back ups. Like these guys are smart and have structure. This is really intense. This feels like how you do a political and military threat. It feels like Adams has done all his work on how the GL and the governmental forces work. This feels right and logical. Logic in a galactic level battle? In my comics? It is more likely than you would think! Adam is the best writer in DC and honestly the Big Two right now. more

The need to drop Keli Quintela. Kill her, I don't care. She is part of the idiotic "black teenager girl is smarter than every being in the universe combined and can hack/create her own superpowered armor/suit" trope kind of thing. It's so stupid

This felt like an epic space drama. I like that they split up with Carol forced to tackle a problem outside of her comfort zone. I'm not sure what's going on with Tharros (which is dangerously close to Thanos) I do like the shadow lantern villain. Pretty good run thus far. Let's see if it gets interrupted again with another event. My Comic Review Channel - https://youtu.be/X9NtI_zTMeM

this was really solid issue right now. I wish Carol Ferris was written as more experienced but so far the story is engaging.

First things first, Xermánico continues to put out incredible artwork here, man. He is absolutely killing it right now. As for the story, I do have similar complaints to what I said about the Civil Corps Special, in terms of its pacing, to an extent, but I enjoyed this issue more overall.
