UPRISING! part 4! The casualties of the uprising against the Green Lantern Corps reach monumental proportions as the Durlans reveal their sinister endgame! John Stewart leads his ragtag team of Lanterns against an army of shape-shifters that can assume any form. Meanwhile, one Lantern must decide if he will make the ultimate sacrifice to give the Corps any hope in this war.
Suspense, action, surprises, and thrills in space with a cornucopia of aliens. What more could you ask for? Highest possible recommendation. Read Full Review
Yet again another great chapter in the Uprising story. I could go on and on about how much I'm enjoying this but I'd like to think that you've read my other reviews on this story and have gotten the point already, but damn is it great over the top cosmic war storytelling. Looking at this issue I'm surprised because I never leaned toward Corps as the best Green Lantern title, but it definitely is for this story line, and you should be checking out Uprising, because you're a fool if you haven't already. So go pick it up and join the fun all of us GL fanboys have already been enjoying. Read Full Review
Changs work under Moritas inks is a compelling mix. Moritat changes enough of Changs work that I didnt recognize it at first. Yet, the work is crisp. Chang draws good action scenes. I like the sequence where John Stewart was fighting with the Durlan invader. Some of the pages are too packed. For example, the shots of the Corps become a big mass of lines. This comic book is good. Get it. Read Full Review
Bernard Chang and Moritat provide the pencils in this issue and the results are mixed. It's not that either artist is off their game, but the two have different styles making the switch between each artist distractingly noticeable. Marcelo Maiolo provides the colors here and bright and vibrant colors help to bridge the different artistic styles, but only somewhat. Read Full Review
Green Lantern Corps #32 finally puts the Green Lanterns back on their heels a little bit in this confrontation with the Durlans. While I don't think that Uprising feels like an event where one part flows naturally from one part to the next, it does succeed in conveying a singular story spanning across two titles. I personally like the more unified approach myself but the arc has been enjoyable nonetheless. Jensen's use of John's past mistakes and showing his ability to move on is in sharp contrast to the Durlan perspective is a good use of continuity to convey character and the issue creates a lot of anticipation for the final two parts. Four out of five lanterns. Read Full Review
Green Lantern Corps #32 turned up the notch again for this crossover, as both Jensen and Chang continue propel to the exciting conclusion. Read Full Review
This issue is another great chapter within this event and now that were past the halfway point, were definitely getting more plot development. While Id recommend buying both titles if you want to get the full story, theyve so far demonstrated that fans of one book, but not the other, wont be left out in the cold. This issue continues from the previous one seamlessly and continues the story of John Stewart and his Corps without needing to have read GREEN LANTERN. Though, if you did, it certainly wont hurt and DOES contribute to a greater enjoyment of the title overall. Read Full Review
The last part feels now to be a total wasted of paper, as almost everything that happened in it is done properly here, and in a far superior way. Hopefully the penultimate instalment of the arc, in Green Lantern #33 pace and quality leading to a crashing finale in next month's Green Lantern Corps #33. The arc gathers pace and improves greatly, but makes the last issue redundant. The final page leaves the issue on a proper cliff-hanger (for the first time in the arc) and finally a real threat is felt from the devious Durlans. Read Full Review
Poor Daxamites
Green Lantern Corps utilizes great team dynamics. John Stewart acts as a better team leader than Hal. He and the lanters are trying to clear their name since they lost a lot of trust from many civilizations. The Durlans keep growing as a threat and it's all leading up to the finale!
The Durlans already being on Daxam clears up some of the apprehension I had with part 3 in Green Lantern. Part 4 here is well done, though I wish it the art was uniform throughout. My only other beef is with Sodam Yat's "I must stay hidden with my people" bullshit. Why reintroduce him only to throw the character back into obscurity?
