Green Lantern #23 is another strong and entertaining chapter in Jeremy Adams and Xermanico's run. It throws a beloved character into a completely unexpected and dangerous situation, introduces a compelling new conflict with the return of the Spectre, and delivers it all with sharp writing and stunning visuals. This comic proves that even in the DC Universe's darkest corners, the Green Lantern's light can still shine and thoroughly entertain. Read Full Review
Green Lantern #23 lights the fuse for something big, cosmically and emotionally. Between old ghosts like the Spectre and new wild cards like Aidia, Adams and Xermanico are playing the long game with Hal and the wider Lantern mythos. Kyle's strange ring reaction, Aidia's potential link to a new emotion, and Spectre's cryptic warning all suggest we're only scratching the surface of big things in the DCU. If Hell and deep space are proving grounds, then our Lanterns just passed these trials, but what's waiting deeper in the dark might burn brighter than anything we've seen. Read Full Review
Green Lantern #23takes Hal Jordan to Hell and back again to find the next Power Battery piece, leading to a run-in with an old enemy and an old spirit. Jeremy Adams tones down the lightheartedness for a tense, urgent issue filled with surprises, and Xermnico's artwork presents more than one showpiece. That said, a new Lantern emerges to make the Emotional Spectrum more convoluted, so it would be better to wrap this arc up sooner rather than later. Read Full Review

Green Lantern is month after month, a fun ride. The creative team keeps dishing out quality work each installment. This was the first issue where it felt like a third Green Lantern series that could focus on Kyle and his team would do that subplot more justice but it's appreciated that Adams doesn't limit this tile to just Hal's adventures.

Sometimes you don't have to say a lotGreen Lantern #23, like the rest of this series relies on the not so simple task of writing with a complex simplicity: Fun, character, acknowledging what's come before and working it into stories that exemplify the core attributes of the main character. The cast may be getting larger and larger, but Adams never loses sight of what matters. And, on top of that, the art looks great! Read Full Review
Hal is in Hell. I'm not sure why all superheroes, whether they are supernatural characters or not, have to go to Hell. But here we are with the team finding a lost Green Lantern and retrieving a medallion from an inmate. The prisoner becomes a lantern of Disgust? Really? We now have Sorrow and Disgust? What's the color going to be - Brown? I just think that's really scraping the bottom of the barrel. What's next - Lust or Apethy? The emotional spectrum just needs to be put back to the way it was at this point, and disappear all of these additional, extraneous lanterns. I did enjoy the battle between Hal and Spectre and the space battle with the creature was fun.

Are we running out of steam? This wasn't bad - how can it be with Xermanico's art? - but it was sort of spinning its wheels. Why is the Spectre without a host again? Why would anyone bring back G'Nort? Something is a bit off.
