SINESTRO...BACK IN GREEN?! The Lanterns return to Thanagar, decimated in the aftermath of the Civil Corps! But this time John Stewart and company are fighting with Hawkwoman by their side. Meanwhile, the mystery of the Fractal Lanterns deepens, as Atrocitus seeks revenge for the theft of his powers! So why is the answer seemingly within the remains of the shattered Thanagar?!
Green Lantern Corps Issue 2 explores a broken universe. The issue feels like the characters are moving through the expanse of space, and the fragility of every element makes it seem like any decision could lead to disaster. Read Full Review
The biggest knock on this issue was the focus was one the four characters instead of weaving in a little bit of other Lanterns dealing with scenarios in other sectors. Green Lantern Corps #2 continues affirming the belief DC had in starting up a spin-off title. There's so much of the galaxy and the Corps to explore that it can't properly be told in just one book.

It's not easy to balance a cast of this size, and there are plenty of other major characters who haven't gotten their spotlight yet, but this is the first GL era in a long while that feels like it's doing justice to all the huge concepts that Geoff Johns set up a decade-plus back. This and the main title are in the middle of a truly great run, it looks like. Read Full Review

Familiar friends and foes take over the sophomore chapter of the GLC return. Solid writing plays off big emotion. Pasarin and the art team flood the pages with a great balance of drama and danger.

Overall, Green Lantern Corps #2 is a strong continuation of the series. It effectively balances action, mystery, and emotional weight, building on the established narrative and setting the stage for future conflicts. The return to Thanagar and the deepening mystery of the Fractal Lanterns make this issue a must-read for Green Lantern fans. Read Full Review
Continuing to explore the chaos going on throughout the DC Universe by exploring the Thanagarians status quo shows how far reaching the Fractured Spectrum saga reaches. Read Full Review
Hampton and Adams are striking a good balance between character oriented stories with emotional consequences and the large scale Green Lantern style science fiction story at the heart of the Fractured Spectrum Saga. This series especially is off to a strong start in that regard, and Green Lantern Corps #2 keeps it going with an intense and emotional story. Read Full Review
Green Lantern Corps #2 sends John Stewart and his team on a mission of mercy that turns into a fight for survival with a huge last-page twist. Morgan Hampton's script (with assistance from Jeremy Adams) turns a basic mission into a big challenge with super-intriguing implications, and the art team's visual presentation is great.

It's great to have an expanded stage for all the happenings in the world of Green Lantern. John Stewart gets to shine as Hawkwoman advances, yet the Red Lanterns will get in the way as they explore other potential power sources. It will be very interesting to see how items from Thanagar interact with the Emotional Spectrum. Razer makes an appearance, which is great for his fans, but another character's appearance shows that correct timing might not be in the shared story between this and the main Green Lanternseries.

A good, solid continuation of the new comic, with a fun use of the wide and varied supporting cast. Read Full Review
It's a fun issue. It would likely be very difficult for anyone to follow who wasn't necessarily introduced to some of the basic elements of the green lantern. It can get pretty murky with respect to some of the basic elements of the plot and what it is going on and it is truly the issue. This is kind of a problem as, the story would need to be framed to just a little bit better to be able to reach out to people who aren't all familiar with the characters. Read Full Review
Green Lantern Corps #2 effectively builds upon the strong foundation established in the first issue. This issue draws heavily from established Green Lantern lore. While I'm not a die-hard Green Lantern enthusiast, I follow John Stewart's storylines closely, and I found the narrative easily accessible. Given John Stewart's defining characterization in Bruce Timm's animation, the influence is evident here.
Jeremy Adams and Morgan Hampton are delivering strong writing in this series. Fernando Pasarin's artwork is ideally suited for this series, with concise storytelling.
So this Shayera is a different Shayera than the one involved with Carter Hall, right?
Another great chapter that moves the story forward. Solid foundation for this latest incarnation!
This comic is well balanced between plot, character, action and emotion. Jeremy Adams work has been strong at DC, and this seems to be the case in this title. Paired with Morgan Hampton on writing duties doesn’t appear to hamper the deeper elements. Even the John Stewart/ Shayera “relationship” front benefits this issue. There’s nothing specific mentioned, but John is displays a sincere sympathy for Shayera as she comes face to face with the ruins of Thanagar. It suggests that even if they go ahead and make the mistake of introducing a previous romantic relationship between the two, there’s a good chance it will be done well.
That hater Morgan Hampton needs to fuck off.
And the scene of John and Shayera hiding in the closet is way too cringy and gross. It's like a creepy sex fantasy of a pathetic incel.
