Meanwhile, on Earth, John's newly resurrected sister, Ellie, learns that she shares John's powers...and she'll need them to protect their family from the cosmic abomination that was Varron!
This title keeps delivering proving that this creative team is locked in. Johnson can weave complex long-form arcs in an engaging manner while the art squad provides gorgeous visuals. Read Full Review
We get some clues through the issue, but the real highlight here is the stunning art by Montos. This guy sort of came out of nowhere with this book, but man can he draw the heck out of a cosmic battle. His characters are distinct, his abominations are terrifying, and it's great to see some big-scale sci-fi Lantern action taking over this title for a bit. Read Full Review
Montos delivers beautiful art throughout the issue. The visuals are darkly detailed and perfectly capture the tension of the story. Read Full Review
War Journal remains my favorite Green Lantern comic book on the market today and here's hoping that John continues to fly high far into the future. Read Full Review
Green Lantern War Journal #8 is another chapter in the story of John Stewart as he battles his heroic responsibility with that of his family. The inclusion of Guy Gardner makes for great continuity and reminds us of the Lanterns' connectivity with each other even with the change of the status quo. Though the villain leaves more to be desired, John's dementia-ridden mother makes this a story worth telling and I can't wait to see how that plot thread gets resolved. Read Full Review
Honestly I yearn for Sci-fi and the Green Lanterns fill that (might be the only books in DC that do). All that being said, PKJ War Journal is really doing it for me now. John out in a dead space fighting with a rag tag group of lost survivors against untold space terrors? Yes please. The art really adds to it. Love this entire part of the story.
Ellie's story gives me the 'feels' if you will. The terror and pain of John's mother and a desperation of Ellie to protect her. At best I can see this ending in a bittersweet way but its going to be emotional regardless.
Guy and Shepard are quite funny.
The fact PKJ has 3 stories all tied together, one sci-fi, one emotional drama and one comedy, and I am invested more
The ongoing Dark Star storyline is wearing a bit thin for me in this issue, but the Earth-bound story with John’s mother and a Guy Gardner “appearance” continues to be captivating, along with the great artwork.
