A visual feast of an issue as our heroes come together and show off some impressive skills. Read Full Review
In the matter of mere moments, the seemingly stable situation that writer Sam Humphries left us with in the previous issue of Green Lanterns has escalated and now, in Issue #21, has spiraled out of control. And thanks to this rapid escalation, this terrible set of moments Humphries has produced an awesome, worthwhile reading experience. Read Full Review
A familiar story told with strong visuals. The drama with Polaris starts well, but goes into frequently trod super hero territory. Next issue should provide a story to match the visuals. Read Full Review
This was a great ending to an emotional story arc. Whether you like or disliked Doctor Polaris's origin story, you can't dispute with his reasoning. He's simply trying to save his brother. That being said, however, it's interesting to note that Doctor Polaris might not even existif Emerson just took his medication. Looking ahead, the next story arc promises to be very interesting, and I, for one, can't wait! Read Full Review
The story concluded this particular arc rather predictably. The art was really good, but the narrative didn't really let the artist shine. The set up for the next arc actually seems more compelling. Read Full Review
Humphries knows how to tell a story, even if he does take the scenic route in ending it. Do yourself a favor and go back to the very beginning of DC Universe Rebirth on this one though. There's a lot of back story and it definitely deserves to be read. Read Full Review
Green Lanterns #21 doesn't serve as a strong finish to the "Polarity" story arc which may leave readers underwhelmed. Despite good character work the narrative seems incomplete and rushes to the next story headlong, contradicting a subplot started in the last issue. Robson Rocha's looks great but the art alone isn't enough to save the issue. Six out of ten lanterns. Read Full Review
While the second half of this issue really made things interesting, the rest was just more of the same stuff that we've gotten throughout this arc and ultimately, it went nowhere. The art was half decent, but even that seemed to be lacking in the color department and I'm seriously just left wondering if we had all of this to just simply establish a vendetta for the villain of this story.

While my emotional investment in the story was stunted as a result of the rushed ending, I still somewhat enjoyed the read. The art is fantastic and it's clear that while Humphries didn't know what to do with the story, he still poured as much heart as he could into the character of Simon. Read Full Review
If I look at this arc as the secret origin of Doctor Polaris, then I really enjoyed the pathos that Humphries gave to this classic character, a villain who I knew very little of. As a Green Lantern arc though? I thought it was serviceable at best and I've already stated my problems with how his past was handled in not only this arc but this series. Read Full Review
A great ending to the "Polarity" arc. The artwork is beautiful. The story is riveting. This issue has it all - visuals, action, characterization & emotion.
Green Lanterns continues to hit the emotional buttons. This is a strong conclusion to the Doctor Polaris story and we get some good character moments for Simon Baz. I found it moving in places. This is possibly my favourite book right now, and I enjoy every issue.
A good ending to a good storyline and one that leaves the GLs with a new archvillain of sorts. After the first arc of this series not really landing and reading really decompressed, I've been impressed by how much story and emotional beats Humphries packs into the series now. I think he's really found his feet as a DC writer and a GL writer.
Great art too, it's always a treat when Robson does a full issue.
This is a good climax to Polarity, it hit the right emotional cords and brings the partnership between Simon and Jess to the next level as they work together to overcome a huge impending disaster.
lackluster art and a very non exciting story. and the whole way the corps is treating our Lanterns is kind of sucky. the rings just go on auto-pilot forcing them to Mogo? last issue I think there were some Lanterns coming to get them.
What a boring ending to the story. And now we're off to Mogo and still not addressing Volthoom - and just last issue John Stewart was sending GLs to Earth to bring everyone back. Does the writer not even pay attention to his own scripts?
