The art was an improvement from the Phantom Lantern arc, as I really had a problem with how the faces looked, but they were a lot better this time. This was a really nice one-shot issue focusing and giving importance to something everyday people have to suffer through. I cannot wait for the next issue and arc as Batman will be teaming up with the Green Lanterns. Read Full Review

Green Lanterns #15 looks at Jessica's sometimes troubled partnership with Simon in a very real way. They don't always work perfectly as a team. But their personal journey trying to understand each other and help with personal issues develops their characters in a fantastically honest way. If you took the superhero aspect of this buddy/cop drama out of it, the story would still make complete sense. And that's the sign of a great story, let alone a great comic. It's safe to say that Green Lanterns has been one of our most anticipated releases, and this issue is no exception. In fact, this issue is quite possibly the best one in the series so far. If you're looking for a superbly written characterised story with some superheroics – this is the one for you. Read Full Review

If you deal with anxiety or know someone who does this is an issue you can use to help those who don't understand make sense of the struggle. The creative team have put in a perfect issue that captures the deeply human struggle many of us face. Read Full Review

This wasn't the biggest must-read issue of Green Lanterns, but I liked it a lot. The bond between Baz and Cruz is becoming a real highlight and this issue really tapped into the overall Rebirth tone of hope and heroes striving every day to be the best version of themselves. This issue is a great jumping-on point for readers who want more insight on the Lanterns they've seen in the various Justice League issues. Read Full Review

GREEN LANTERNS #15 is an enjoyable stand-alone issue. The focus on Jessica Cruz does not disappoint in the slightest as we see her inner anxiety and self-doubts. The last time Humphries gave readers an issue with a single focus on a character it was about Frank Laminski in GREEN LANTERNS #9, which led to "The Phantom Lantern" story arc. That was a story I clung to, so if there is any indication that the upcoming storyline revolves around Cruz and her anxiety, I will receive it with open arms. Read Full Review

If you wanted to jump into Green Lanterns but missed out on it when this series launched try this special one shot as it gives you plenty of character for Jessica and how her dynamic with Simon works and it's possibly the best example of how to a person deals with their lives while coping with anxiety.

Green Lanterns #15 is an example of what the comics medium can be when it tackles social issues.  While not a great Green Lantern story per se the issue admirably succeeds in taking readers inside a very real problem shared by many of our fellow beings.  Share this issue with someone you know who struggles with anxiety issues and have your own conversation over a pile of pancakes.  Eight out of ten lanterns.

This issue is not as shocking as the Green Arrow discovering Speedys drug addiction or as sad as the male Captain Marvels death from cancer, but its still quite a stellar attempt toincorporate real world aspect to the comic book world. Read Full Review

We take a pause here and instead of jumping right into our Volthoom story, we take a look at a day in the life of Jessica Cruz and how she deals with her anxiety problems........... and while that might sound like a been there done that situation...... this issue actually tackles that familiar area very well and makes you look at Jessica in a new light, while all the time giving us great art and an awesome cliffhanger.

This one day story continues to show Jessica not evolving as a character. I like the Green Lanterns, I like these characters, but it's time to quit beating this horse that's not going anywhere. Read Full Review

This issue was an interesting one for me to read. I likeit…but I wish it would have come before the last issue. I think all us readershave been wanting a closer look at Jessica. She's so relatable, her stories canstir up your own memories of being frozen with anxiety. Most people have todeal with anxiety or self doubt. With that said I was sooooo excited when sheput on the white ring and remained a Green Lantern. I was like “yeah this isit, this is where Jessica gets the confidence she needs to be the bad ass Iknow she is,” but now this issue felt like it back tracked. I do think it isimportant to know that anxiety isn't something that is just fixed, but It canbe overcome, and I really want to see Jessica reach that point. Overall goodissue, nice insight, just ready for the next big thing for her. HopefullyBatman will bring it out. Read Full Review

It is temping to complain about ground being retread when it comes to Jessica's anxiety, but it's true that anxiety disorders aren't something that you simple 'get over'. This issue dives into that, using creative layouts to tell the story, and also reflects on how Simon struggles to identify with the problem and how to be supportive. I love seeing the super hero circle become more an more inclusive and Jessica opens new stories to be told that highlight a demographic that is largely ignored in comic books.

Awesome issue, Jessica's anxiety treatment is so good. The best issue so far

Comic Book Review (8.5/10) “Great”
*A great jumping on point as this is the start of a new story arc. *
Green Lanterns 15 “A Day in the Life”
Writer: Sam Humphries
Penciller: Miguel Mendonca
Plot: This is a day in the life of Jessica Cruz as she deals with her own anxiety attacks. Although she is a super hero and a member of the Justice League that fights giant city destroying monsters and strange robbers dressed as cowboys, her biggest enemy is anxiety. Simon Baz is at her side trying to help her deal with this anxiety in this heart-warming story about one-half of the Green Lanterns team.
This is an examination of the day in the life of Jessica Cruz, literally from the moment she wakes up in the morning and to the moment she goes to sleep. It is interesting to examine a super hero with a debilitating condition, and I’m pretty sure individuals dealing with handicap issues and debilitating conditions will appreciate this examination. There is also a moment in the story where I really felt like the Green Lanterns were true partners and warmed my heart and I wouldn’t want to ruin that moment for you by spoiling it here. Part of the reason why this issue works is due to the great artwork of Mendonca – I believe this is my first time seeing his artwork in a comic book, and I hope I can see more of his work soon. A great issue!

Meh. This issue didn't do it for me. I'm a Jessica Cruz fan, but this "anxiety" thing is getting to be too much. We are reminded every issue about her anxiety problem and now we get an entire issue about it. I don't want to sound insensitive, as I DO understand this is a major problem many people in the real world face every day. However, it's getting to the point of overkill in this series. The artwork was also not as good as previous issues.

This isn't the story that was solicited at all, and it's not particularly engaging as anything other than a character piece. If you're all aboard the Jessica Cruz train you'll like it, and it may be a good jumping on point for new readers, but after 14 issues the constant reminder of Cruz's anxiety is overkill.
