The Fractured Spectrum starts its saga with a great jumping point. Adams writing sets the stage as the Lanterns brace for the chase. The art team construct the ever-evolving tale with a mix of heroics and personal reactions. Theres much room to grow from what is sure to be a classic Lantern tale in the making. Read Full Review
Jeremy Adams is consistently DC Comics' best writer with no real competition. Even if Green Lantern isn't your favorite character or concept, Adams is writing a very good series. Coupled with his track record on The Flash and Jay Garrick: The Flash, it's a no brainer that you should be reading Green Lantern, and Green Lantern #19 is a pretty easy place to start. If I had more than a 5 point scale this would be an 8.5/10. Read Full Review
Green Lantern #19is a perfectly good transition issue that assembles a team to stop Sorrow Lantern from permanently fracturing the Emotional Spectrum. Jeremy Adams's script does a fine job of introducing the players before they head out on their quest, and the art team's output, while odd in spots, is fine. That said, the issue lacks punch because most of the plot revolves around restating information we already know. Read Full Review
Green Lantern #19 is fine if you're really into Green Lantern or the one-shot got you interested, like it did me, but there's little presented that you probably can't skip and pick up on in the next issue. Overall, a missed opportunity to continue the excitement of the new direction. Read Full Review
Green Lantern #19 is understandably dialogue-heavy and light on action. But Adams' steadfast flying on this narrative ship has earned him some leeway, and we'd be safe in trusting that this wordy detour is necessary setup for explosive revelations ahead. Read Full Review
Green Lantern #19 is a troubled issue. It works narratively as a bridge issue going into the Fractured Spectrum Saga. But as constructed overall, its visual flaws and general lack of plot advancement urgency hurt it. Green Lantern #19 will likely work better as part of a fully collected story than as an individual issue. Read Full Review
I think this is my favorite issue of Jeremy Adam's run thus far. I like the playfulness of it mixed with the growing dread of the fracture. I finally understood what Jeremy was going for here with the fracture. I think it was explained a bit better in this issue. I have been disappointed that Carol was snatched up by the Justice League and that is illustrated best here. They are good together. They can be madly in love one moment and at each other's throats the next. I like that this has become a team book and that's why I question if it is really necessary to have a separate GL Corp title. I'm looking forward to seeing this storyline through.

think its hilarious how Carol Ferris quickly moved on from her ex-fiance. But the art ws solid and I hope Hal and Carol stay together
An interesting comic, but why are we getting Connor Kent here instead of a better division of GLs between the two books?
