Overal, Green Lantern: Fractured Spectrum #1 is a promising start to a new era for the Green Lantern Corps. The concept of the Fractal Lanterns is intriguing, and the issue effectively sets the stage for a compelling storyline. However, the somewhat fragmented narrative and lack of a clearly defined immediate threat hold it back from being a truly great debut. It has strong potential and is worth picking up for Green Lantern fans eager to see where this new direction takes the Corps. Read Full Review
Green Lantern: Fractured Spectrum #1is a bright, bold start to a new quest for the recently reassembled Green Lantern Corps. Jeremy Adams efficiently establishes the new status quo before sending the Lanterns off to save the galaxy with a spirit of high adventure, and V Ken Marion's inspired artwork looks great. That said, there are a few, minor quibbles in the story and art that prevent this issue from earning top marks. Read Full Review
The next phase of the Green Lantern legacy starts on a strong note. Adams writing delivers on constructing the drama with memorable moments. Marion, Fajardo Jr. and Sharpe present a united front bracing for a dark challenge ahead. Readers should expect big things from this latest arc. Read Full Review
Adams does a good job of giving readers what they need to know while setting up what's to come with a clear focus. This isn't one that throws out a lot of ideas, things are very focused in a good way. There's some decisions that are odd and feel extraneous, but overall, the comic is a perfect way to dive into the Green Lanterns and see what's coming for the Corps. Read Full Review
Green Lantern: Fractured Spectrum #1 does its job setting a new foundation for the franchise. There is an entire vibe that we are entering a new era for the franchise that will be positive for the characters involved. The format of this one-shot also worked as an entry point for new fans to have a place to start reading the Green Lantern series. Read Full Review
It may be more setup than catchup, but Green Lantern: Fractured Spectrum delivers a gorgeous looking book that heralds a new chapter for the GL mythos. Read Full Review
The ol' "blow up the Corps" trick has been pulled a lot, but there are moments in this issue that make me want to see where this iteration is going.If only I could believe DC editorial won't blow up THIS new Corps in 12 to 14 months. Read Full Review
I'm not sure why we are doing one-shots and a separate Green Lantern Corp when this could all be included in the main title. I'm not a big fan of Sorrow or Carol being sucked into the JLA without appearances in GL. I also don't think it fits into Guy's character to do brain-breaking investigations. Jeremy knows how to pace a comic and have fun with the characters.

The writing and artwork are both okay. There are a couple of things that lower the score for me. What I thought made Geoff John’s run on Green Lantern good was that he had Hal as the focal point of the story and all the other lanterns as secondary characters. That makes sense to me. Here there seem to be many stories going on with multiple characters and too many Green Lanterns results in making the story boring. Also why are all the Green Lanterns hanging around Oa? Shouldn’t they be out patrolling their sectors? Isn’t that their job? Maybe there is an explanation somewhere in the books as I haven’t been faithful to this particular run, but kind of a head scratcher.
Why the hell is Jessica Cruz giving speeches to all those senior lanterns? Who does she think she is?
Also way too many earth humams. When I read a Green Lantern books I expect to see aliens and weird cosmic stuff. This book is crowded with earth lanterns makes it so boring.
