Comic Watch - Chad Burdette
Oct 23, 2024Green Lantern: Dark #1's return to Earth-9 and the Tangent Universe is a bold move on the part of DC Comics, and while the issue lays groundwork for this new status quo, it remains to be seen if this Earth's future is as bleak as it appears to be or if the Green Lantern can restore it or die trying.

Weird Science - Gabe Hernandez
Oct 24, 2024Green Lantern Dark #1 creates a future Earth on the edge of distinction where the last Green Lantern travels the dark roads to stave off supernatural monsters. Tate Brombal's core concept sounds cool, but the execution is too dialog-heavy and too vague to really hook you. Plus, the art fits the supernatural theme, but it's better suited for indie books well outside the typical DC quality. Read Full Review

I thought the art was rather meh, but the story was quite interesting. It followed the "reluctant hero" trope pretty closely, but I enjoyed it. I'd love for more stories in this setting, for sure.

Green Lantern Dark #1 presents an Elseworld tale set in a world devoid of heroes and hope. Amidst the darkness, Rina Mori, a reluctant Green Lantern, wanders across cities and towns to keep evil entities away from innocent civilians.

The world-building is subtle yet effective, conveying the dire circumstances and desperation of its inhabitants. Additional characters, such as Lunette, a young tween who steadfastly believes in the Green Lantern, and her family, are introduced. Lunette's unwavering faith serves as a catal more

I have no idea who any of these characters are or what is happening here. Can someone explain to me what I need to have read to understand all of this? I like the premise and Tate is solid as always. Just need a bit more background. Not new reader friendly.
