Out of all the Lantern titles out there I have always felt that Corps was one of the weakest.  But after reading this issue I'm eating my words, because it was terrific.  Great action, suspense, and a big reveal for Lantern fans in the end.  This issue has everything you want when reading a comic.  So make sure you jump on this Uprising adventure and join the fun, because this story is going someplace I want to see.  Check it out.

Bernard Chang continues to prove himself as one of the more capable artists working in the GL franchise. His work is smoother and more refined than the scratchy pencils and inks seen in Green Lantern #31, and his characters far more expressive. Read Full Review

GREEN LANTERN #31 promised you the action would continue over here, and boy, did it ever. But GREEN LANTERN CORPS #31 delivers more than a promise: it raises the stakes in a credible, terrifying way. For a series that's been around since 1960, that's a pretty tall order. But it's one that must be met if you're going to tell an original story people will remember, and carve your name into DC history. And if UPRISING keeps taking advantage of the rich universe DC has to offer beyond the confines of the Lantern color spectrum, it might just be a story you'll still be talking about years down the road.

Green Lantern Corps continued and picked the pace from last weeks Green Lantern. The reintroduction of Sodom Yat is the biggest game changer yet and it leaves this reviewer salivating for what else the GL crew has coming up next. Read Full Review

Green Lantern Corps #31 is a great read as a single issue, but as a part of the larger story of Uprising it feels a little disjointed. The Khund/Durlan menace comes off looking more like minor annoyances and almost as a subplot to the issues major objective - to reveal the Durlans' true goal and to return a character that hasn't been seen in quite a while.  In those areas the book excels.  I have high hopes that part three will be the issue where things take a bad turn and Uprising begins to really live up to it's potential.  Four out of five lanterns.

Green Lantern Corps #31 is a high energy trip getting back to the roots of the Green Lantern Corps and a nice break from the politics that have earmarked the most recent issues in both Green Lantern and Green Lantern Corps. Where it suffers is from lack of depth, and often times hectic pacing with few (if any) plot points to mention until the last pages of the issue. However, these themes fit the purpose of the book in a transition issue as part of a larger story. Read Full Review

Ending on a positive note, the reveal of this character also reveals the Durlans grand plan to destroy the Greens; and it is a brilliant plan. Comic villains often come up with ridiculous plans that have no hope of succeeding in taking out the hero, not this plan. This plan is, as long as they can pull it off before the Greens stop them, absolute genius. Being cryptic as to not spoil the reveal for you I found the book disappointing until those final few pages but put it down with a sense of contentment. Read Full Review

This issue may not warrant the highest score for the clich prison break scenes, but oh those killer last few pages! Read Full Review

Kind of disappointing follow-up to the amazing first issue of the uprising arc. This issue really showed me why I prefer the other series so much more.

I think that we needed more time with the Lanterns in the prison to really understand their struggle and this way the moment of the liberation would have been far more powerful. It was weird, because last few issues were really slow and there was build-up and foreshadowing for some things, like how some lanterns acted weird suggesting something was wrong, the origin of the Durlans, the races that are fooled by the Durlans to oppose the lanterns ecc. But in the end, all those thing turned out to be of less importance. It's like the attention was not focused on the right place. The previous issue is a prime example. I know that the editorial is also hugely involved, so maybe there were was just some misunderstanding around the way. However I think that we should have gotten some time with the prisoners in the previous issue, because we already knew they were there and it was generally weird that nobody mentioned them in the previous issue. Like the issue before the previous finished with a cliffhanger(same with Soranik, but there is some hope for that) and then the next issue, that cliffhanger is completely forgotten and then suddenly you are transported to that prison for a few pages, before a big revolt. I will admit there was some setup for one thing that happened later, but it was pretty cheaply done and it felt like and afterthought, still it was something. Also issue #30 was mostly a filler, one that i enjoyed, but still a filler.

The other variant was to make this issue dedicated to the prisoners, but again editorial. Overall the middle part of story here is kinda non-existent, which again ties to my last point. Too much time spent on the start and the end. Plus the books suffers with it's many characters and that's one more reason, why the battle felt empty, but it was well drawn. That's also why "he will avenged" and "no more lanterns treated like dogs" did not work for me and felt out of place. The art was epic and all, but the moments felt shallow, which made it even worse.

Also there is also that this issue was not that connected to the other better Gl series. So yeah we mostly get a shallow battle, with some really dumb moments in it and shallow characters, because nobody present really has an arc in this issue(I don't count the 2 guys talking before the revolt, cause again that was so rushed and obvious), although again there was potential for so many cool things. It's sad that the issue was rushed in so many ways.

The ending reveals were interesting and even exciting. It can lead to huge changes and that was pretty much the best thing about the issue. But I'm getting tired of hoping that the next issue is gonna be better, cause that was the promise for everything till now. But it's different the real thing already started and this needs to be more than exciting from now on.

But yeah overall this issue was pretty bad IMO. more
