    With the threats of Larfleeze and Enquar taking shape. Its just a matter of how quickly the combined corps can get on the same page to keep Oa and their fellow lanterns, from getting shut down by the two sinister forces intent on their destruction. Read Full Review

    This is a fun, chaotic issue with some great battle segments, but it also has some awesome moments that hint at deeper issues, such as a confrontation between John Stewart and Katma-Tui, who have recently been reunited and may have been papering over some much deeper issues. And the best part is, it feels like we're still just scratching the surface of this story's potential. Read Full Review

    The peaceful notion of Lanterns living on one planet goes up in a cloud of orange smoke (literally) this chapter. Hampton balances a very large ensemble cast to a steady moving chapter. The art team lean heavy into the action for a solid read. How the Lanterns rebound from a threat within should be fun to watch. Read Full Review

    Morgan Hampton continues to impress with how many different plotlines that are being managed in Green Lantern Corps. While there is a lot going on with various groups on Oa and throughout the DCU, there is an order that helps keep a control with the pacing of the story. Read Full Review

    Weird Science - Gabe Hernandez Jan 14, 2026

    Green Lantern Corps #12 is a functional setpiece comic that sacrifices character cohesion for ambitious plotting, banking on next month's promised war to justify the clustered storytelling happening right now. Hampton proves competent at juggling multiple narratives simultaneously, but competence isn't the same as excellence, and readers investing in this series deserve more than a well-organized setup issue. The comic does enough things right to keep Corps fans engaged, though it neither deepens existing character relationships meaningfully nor introduces fresh enough concepts to justify the reader's time investment.
