    Green Lantern Corps #17 continues to build up the threat of the First Lantern and allowing readers to see more of the emotional baggage that Guy has been hauling around for years.  What results is a very personal story that allows the Wrath of the First Lantern to built at a steady if casual pace.  Four out of five lanterns.

    Not really a step forward for the Wrath of the First Lantern arc, but a valuable look into the life of Guy Gardner. Read Full Review

    Considering this book has been considered to be one of the more inaccessible books in the Green Lantern franchise, I have to say... this is a compelling read. Read Full Review

    It feels strange for Geoff Johns to introduce the first ever Muslim Green Lantern in Simon Baz, only for Peter J. Tomasi to reveal here that Guy Gardner's career shattering altercation was with a suicide bomber who could very well be Middle Eastern. One step forward, two steps back? But that scene is nothing compared to the one that follows, as it oversteps the boundary of good taste into gratuitous violence territory. It's tough to judge everything shown here without knowing the entire Wrath of the First Lantern story, so even though everything here seems a bit much, it'll take time to merit its true weight.

    The second part of Wrath of the First Lantern is a solid character study of Guy Gardner, revealing a key part of his new history and packing some emotional weight. It does unfortunately start to fall apart as the issue goes on due to Tomasi going more and more over the top when he would have been better off keeping things restrained and personal.
