Blog Of Oa - Myron Rumsey
Aug 10, 2016Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps #2 is another great installment that is well balanced between the character work, plot progression and action/adventure. Hal Jordan is about to find out how far the scales have been tipped against him with only his lost and wounded allies to hopefully arrive and save the day. Robert Venditti and Rafa Sandoval are on point this issue much to the delight of this Green Lantern fan. Five out of five lanterns. Read Full Review

Aug 10, 2016While some Rebirth titles are nearing their fifth issue, Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps has quickly distinguished itself from the pack. This is one of the top titles in DC and a must for every DC fan. Read Full Review

Black Nerd Problems - Oz Longworth
Aug 11, 2016Bottom Line: Rebirth has turned out to be the perfect opportunity for this franchise's redemption. Traditional lantern smackdowns, a great villain returning to sinister glory, and some of the best artwork on DC's shelves right now? This is a book that old-school Green Lantern fans have needed for a while now. Read Full Review

Chuck's Comic Of The Day - Chuck
Aug 16, 2016The art is strong and the story fast-moving. Hopefully they'll eventually find time to give us a bit more character development along the way - but at least the trip there won't be a boring one. Read Full Review

IGN - Joe Ruggirello
Aug 11, 2016Robert Venditti remaining on a Green Lantern book remains one of the better decisions made by the powers-that-be at DC with regards to Rebirth. With Hal back in uniform and the Lost Army back... somewhere... Venditti crafts a story with several compelling threads. Read Full Review

Graphic Policy - Brett
Aug 15, 2016Venditti is masterfully giving us an entertaining, slow build, where things are being paced in a way so that there's an emotional impact for everything. You know the Green Lantern Corps are going to show up at some perfect time in grand fashion to be reunited with Hal, and the way things are going, I can't wait to see that moment pay off.

Weird Science - Reggie Hemingway
Aug 10, 2016A few plot developments and some daddy-daughter time that results in the traditional Korugarian Slapping of the Father, and you've got a pretty good issue of Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps that promises some fun times in the future. Let's hope it's the near future, rather than some far-flung time beyond the next title change. Also: yes to more Guy Gardner. Read Full Review

Big Comic Page - Chris Bennett
Aug 10, 2016Overall though, this is a stellar second issue that has made me care about these characters again. It really goes to show that when Green Lantern comics are good, they're really good. Hopefully the story will continue to improve in leaps and bounds and avoid the all-too-frequent situation where a new book appears to hold such unlimited promise only to go off like a wet firework. I'm keeping my fingers crossed, that's for sure. Read Full Review

DC Comics News - Kevin Gunn
Aug 11, 2016Better than the first issue of the series. The ride is still "pedal to the floor" as far as action, but you still get a peak into everyone's struggles. I can't wait to see if Soranak will change uniforms (and rings) or oppose her father to take command of the Yellow Lanterns. Again, we'll have to wait. Read Full Review

Monkeys Fighting Robots - Anthony Wendel
Aug 11, 2016This book continues to be one of the best titlesto come out of DCs Rebirth event. The way things are going, it should be easy for the team to maintain this incredible work. At least until the end of the first story of the new run. Read Full Review

Newsarama - David Pepose
Aug 12, 2016This comic right now remains undecided about its direction, but the familiarity, action and striking artwork make Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps #2 infectiously fun. Read Full Review

SciFiPulse - Patrick Hayes
Aug 14, 2016An okay issue, but there's nothing special about it. The story and visuals are fine, but it seems as though this issue could be skipped entirely and nothing in the larger saga of the Green Lantern Corps be missed. Read Full Review

Razorfine - Alan Rapp
Aug 17, 2016It will be interesting to see how long the existence of the other Green Lanterns remains a secret. Not exactly known for stealth, Gardner is likely to draw some attention in his own search for answers. But whose attention will be drawn to him first, Hal's or Sinestro's. Worth a look.

Heroes Direct - Eammon Jacobs
Aug 11, 2016Overall, Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps#2 felt a little like a filler issue, setting up further plot points for the future. But the insight into Sinestro was an interesting portion of the comic. Hopefully we get to see what Guy Gardner gets up to in the next issue. Read Full Review

We The Nerdy - Jean-Luc Botbyl
Aug 10, 2016I totally expect to be in the minority when I say this, but, as with Green Lanterns, I'm enjoying HJGLC. Venditti captures the cast really well. Yeah, the writing has its flaws, and I'm not going to sit here and try to excuse them, or say you shouldn't take them into account when deciding whether or not to purchase this issue. But I think the most important thing I can give you is my honest reaction to the book; which is to say that I do quite like it. Read Full Review

Comics: The Gathering - John White
Aug 11, 2016Robert Venditti hits his stride in this issue with dialogue that is not only captivating but also true to the characters that speak it. Bolstered by the as always excellent art and colors by Rafa Sandoval and Tomeu Morey respectively, this issue cements this teams place as the right one to tell great Green Lantern stories. Anyone who is a fan of drama, intrigue, and colorful space adventures who be foolish to not pick up Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps today. Read Full Review

Aug 10, 2016Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps #2 is a lovely-looking comic without much to say. This book has all the potential in the world to become a great space epic, but for now potential is all it has. Read Full Review

Flickering Myth - Tony Black
Aug 16, 2016Hopefully these strong narrative elements will come together soon, as Hal Jordan & the Green Lantern Corps still hasn't managed to completely find its sea legs as an addictive part of the Rebirth series. It's blend of space opera with human, grounded characters and stylistics hasn't yet paid off into anything with particular depth or meaning, and from a narrative perspective it continues to circle around the houses. Venditti writes decently and Sandoval infuses the piece with colour, but it's neither the strongest written nor most attractive Rebirth comic out there. There is still potential to improve but right now it's Earth-based sister series Green Lanterns is putting it in the shade. Read Full Review

I actually enjoyed this issue a lot, and like it a lot more than Green Lanterns title.

I feel like Venditti is trying to rebuild what he previously destroyed in the last series. He finally understands the character and he is heading in the right direction!

Interesting issue that shows a lead up into what will appear to be a bigger climax in the next issue. Best run Venditti has done so far with the Green Lanterns, would read if you enjoy the universe.

Hal continues his search for the corps and battle the Sinestro Corps. Enjoyed both story and artwork. I still don't like the way Sandoval draws Soranik, but that's just me.

This may be the last issue I read from this series. I enjoy the other Green Lantern title a lot more. There just doesn't seem to be much depth to anything. The real highlight is the art. Hal Jordan specifically is really well drawn.

Hal Jordan & the Green Lantern Corps #2 slightly moves away from the boring and empty threat that issue 1 was. We finally see some character moments which is why Gardner was the best part of this comic. There are actually some good moments I will not mention for a reader's sake. That said the comic still lacks in trying to develop any character. Sinestro for one example is misrepresented. He thinks of Hal as a failure when the two were friends and have been through so much together. Such a misinterpretation of one of the greatest villains.
