Apr 12, 2017Robert Venditti has many balls in the air, but is giving every story thread the attention it needs. Great read. Read Full Review

Lyles Movie Files - Jeffrey Lyles
Apr 12, 2017One of my favorite aspects of the title is how Venditti writes in a classic comic book style setting up subplots that will become pivotal story arcs down the road. Saint Walker goes off on a new quest while a new menace is discovered and the Lanterns get a surprise guest with news of their fate. There's always a sense of the next great adventure here and this issue definitely opens up a nice array of new possibilities. Read Full Review

GWW - Deron Generally
Apr 12, 2017The story continues to move and evolve in a way that keeps it both entertaining and tense. The artwork is well done and the ending panels keep me interested in the next part of the story Read Full Review

Weird Science - Reggie Hemingway
Apr 12, 2017There's tension between the Sinestro and Green Lantern Corps, but they seem to be getting along okay in this issue of mostly characterization and banter. The pacing and plotting was great, and I do enjoy smiling while I read my comics. I'm hoping more Green/Yellow partnerships will yield more yuks and camaraderie in the future. Read Full Review

DC Comics News - Matthew Lloyd
Apr 12, 2017Something big is on the horizon, and this issue gives just a teaser. It does, however, make effective use of Guy Gardner and Arkillo's two-issue story line. There's a lot going on in this title and it all works well together, this issue exemplifies this. Read Full Review

Nerd Church Radio - Ariel DuPey
Apr 12, 2017The Sinestro Corps and Green Lanterns have a very long history dating back to the very beginning, and this mix up in alliances is fresh and exciting. Venditti is doing a fantastic job in writing a riveting plot line that has different stories smoothly entangling with one another. Now that we have another threat in the midst how will this new union handle the situation? Read Full Review

Black Nerd Problems - Oz Longworth
Apr 14, 2017Not a strong as the past few issues, but even at half speed, this is still an immensely fun book to read. Also, the art puts it over the hump for a decent grade this week. Read Full Review

Newsarama - Jon Arvedon
Apr 14, 2017In any case, the story still manages to satisfy, particularly with the return of an unexpected character in the closing pages of the book, which will presumably follow suit with issue #17 in bringing Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps out from its largely self-contained bubble and into the greater depths of the post-Rebirth DCU.

Blog Of Oa - Myron Rumsey
Apr 17, 2017Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps #18 hints that there are some major events looming over the horizon while setting readers up for the next chapter of Robert Venditti's space opera. There are plenty of things in motion but it never feels overwhelming thanks to Venditti's ability to juggle all the moving pieces. Eight out of ten lanterns. Read Full Review

The Brazen Bull - Charlie Chipman
Apr 12, 2017With Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps #18 , the pace is beginning to pick up, but Venditti is still setting the stage, and this, the first chapter of a new arc isn't too entertaining, but it still worth reading. Read Full Review

7.0
Comics: The Gathering - Hussein Wasiti
Apr 12, 2017While the ending was very interesting, the slow progression of the series has really gotten to me. Everything that happened in the first half of this issue, all of the conflict between the Green and Yellow Lanterns, should have been resolved by now. Read Full Review

7.0
Comicosity - Amy Ziegfeld
Apr 12, 2017This issue is a promising start for the next story arc, even if it's not necessarily a great issue on its own. It will probably be worth reading eventually, but for now it's all promise and no payoff. Read Full Review

IGN - Blair Marnell
Apr 13, 2017It's not a bad comic by any standard, but the inter-Corps brawl on Mogo is pretty pointless. Read Full Review

Green Lantern Corps - iggy
Apr 12, 2017Hal Jordan & The Green Lantern Corps #18 does a great job of showing that the current green/yellow partnership will still play a factor going forward, but most of this issue was setup for whatever this new threat happens to be. It had the right amount of entertaining moments to keep me invested for the rest of this arc. Read Full Review

Razorfine - Alan Rapp
Apr 17, 2017The final page of the comic foreshadows just how dire a threat the Corps is facing as Rip Hunter makes his first appearance since Rebirth (and apparently isn't known by any of the Green Lanterns in the reconstructed DCU). For fans. Read Full Review

In terms of time traveling heroes this was one was the most right for a Green Lantern book. The book is still continuing to good stories, but I would prefer that eventually Kyle goes back to being a green lantern.

For me, the set-up for the cooperation between the two corps is being too long. Overall, this arc seems the most promising of the series and the cliff-hanger is thrilling! Also, I really enjoy the duo Guy Gardner/Arkillo. Anyway, I'm glad that they first showed the cover with White Lantern Kyle Rayner to avoid spoilers and then replaced it with the Green Lantern suit.

I like this writer story is fun while building deep stories.

Green and Yellow scrap like anyone would expect, but there are no signs of the alliance ending soon. Couple that with the wrench thrown into the works in the last couple pages and I can't help but be impressed with the directions that Venditti continues to take this series.

Honestly the issue was pretty bad until the end. Great end!! Jon as a leader is not doing it for me. Kyle is obvious going to get his groove back with Sornak.... but the Guy Arkillo thing is just getting lame. We need to move past it now.

A set up issue for what is to come. Not a lot happens in this issue but it does end on a high note leaving the reader curious as to what will happen in the next issue.

I really want more of the "blue" and... the story was OK. The Guy/Arkillo thing looks like it might become interesting. and the cliffhanger reveal is interesting too.
