We find out the truth about what Hammond is up to pretty quickly, and it's a nasty jump scare on the final page, but overall, this continues to be a very strong book. It's rare to see a GL run that's as strong on Earth as it is off it. Read Full Review

With a compelling mix of cosmic action and character drama, this issue has the potential to be a defining moment for the Green Lantern Corps. Fans of the series will be eagerly anticipating this clash of titans. Read Full Review
Green Lantern #21 is jammed packed comic book experience. There is so much that goes on in this one comic book that could've filled at least three comic books. Which makes you appreciate how even with how much goes on that Jeremy Adams and Jack Herbert are able to create such a tight reading experience. Read Full Review
Hal Jordan and Kyle Rayner battle Starbreaker and Sorrow to protect the Emotional Spectrum, with Superboy and Odyssey stepping in to help. The issue delivers thrilling action, character development (especially Odyssey and Superboy), and exciting cosmic stakes. Hal's return to Earth to rebuild Lantern Corps' Central Batteries adds a fresh twist as the DEO handles Earth's fallout. However, the new villain recruit may shift focus from the main arc. An entertaining mix of story and pace! Read Full Review
The search for power takes a dark turn with an old foe re-emerging. Adams plays many hands with the writing. Herbert, Fajardo Jr. and Sharpe play into the high stakes with their art. Readers new and old will have something for them within these pages. Read Full Review
Green Lantern #21scatters the Corps throughout the galaxy to scavenge components, stop bank robbers, and investigate supposedly reformed villains. Jeremy Adams's script gives you plenty of cool plot developments to hold your interest, but the plot feels scattered and lacking in focus. On the plus side, guest artist Jack Herbert's visuals look great. Read Full Review
What this Green Lantern run lacks in originality, it revests with casual mirth a simple, junk-food funnybook to thumb through on a lazy Wednesday. To paraphrase Cee Lo Green, 'It ain't a Ferrari, but it can still get you there.' Read Full Review
Well, this issue ramps things up as everything intensifies. There’s just a couples between Odyssey and Kon-El and it immediately does more for him than everything in the past 10 years- what HAS been going on with him, maybe Jeremy Adams will tell us?!?!?! Plus, Adams doesn’t forget Carol and Hal. The new status of their relationship continues to develop and it continues to be captivating. There’s a super-villain surprise at the end of the issue that doesn’t take long to develop. It’s an idea that could’ve left things open ended, but Adams wisely brings it to the fore immediately. There’s a lot of action too in another well balanced issue. What’s not to like?
Adams continues to do a great job weaving multiple storylines, giving plenty of air time to Hal, Kyle, Carol, and others while both cosmic and earth-bound plots take center stage. I do think that the Sorrow storyline is losing steam as it drags out across multiple issues, so hopefully that gets resolved soon.
I love the stuff between Carol and Hal. That's where this book really shines. Unfortunately, Mark Waid claimed her for Justice League. I would like to see Odyssey get more fleshed out. There isn't much to her right now. I liked Hal's entrance, but the Monkey around line was a little too much.

Not bad. For the first time in a long while, Hal actually does something,
I can't help but find it amusing that on a crucial Corps meeting, somehow every member present is from Earth, including two actual children. Shame that Green Lantern, once a franchise represents space fantasy, now has become a private backyard of human chauvinism.
