    At this point, I'd put Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps against any Rebirth title. It's that good and undoubtedly one of my easiest recommendations all month. Read Full Review

    SciFiPulse - Patrick Hayes Jul 2, 2017

    This series is a powerhouse! The conflicts come from within and outside the teams, with the Kyle-Soranik saga as compelling as the murder mystery. The visuals are intense, loaded with details in both art and colors. Even the letters are visually pleasing. Everything about this title is working at the highest possible level. Absolutely recommended. Read Full Review

    GWW - Deron Generally Jun 28, 2017

    This is the start of both a really great murder mystery, tragic love story and political thriller all rolled into one. The plot is paced with great tension and the art work is dynamic but also well done in its subtle moments. Read Full Review

    Blog Of Oa - Myron Rumsey Jun 28, 2017

    Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps #23 is another chapter in one of DC Comics' top series. While the plot is somewhat predictable the creative team delivers an issue which packs an emotional punch and sets the stage for the greatest challenge to the alliance between the Green Lantern Corps and the Sinestro Corps. Nine out of ten lanterns. Read Full Review

    Impulse Gamer - Chris O'Connor Jul 6, 2017

    At the end of the this story the working relationship between the Green Lantern's and the Sinestro Corp could still go either way" but we know a lot more at the end and that creates more questions... nail biting may be mandatory. Read Full Review

    Nerd Church Radio - Ariel DuPey Jun 28, 2017

    Well, I didn't expect that ending. I loved the whole Murder on the Orient Express vibe that was going on through this book. It felt new and fresh compared to the normal flow of how Robert usually writes. The action is more at at a minimum, but the plot and drama has definitely thickened. One can only guess what on Earth is next for the Corps. Read Full Review

    Vennditti deserves way more credit than he's getting for holding the fort in the post-Johns era. Also, this is best looking book we've seen in the past few weeks. Read Full Review

    Razorfine - Alan Rapp Jul 12, 2017

    The other subplot involves Soranik Natu investigating Sarko and discovering what is causing Kyle Rayner‘s odd behavior and insistence she give up her yellow ring in favor of the green. Given the fact that her discover wipes the man's existence from this timeline, however, suggests the timeline has already been changed. Worth a look. Read Full Review

    Weird Science - Reggie Hemingway Jun 28, 2017

    When John Stewart finds out about the secret Bolphunga's threatening to reveal...well, he looks a little miffed. Certainly not stunned to his core. This issue also contains some friendship action between Guy Gardner and Arkillo, and it is terrific. With Ethan Van Sciver drawing, you'll say, "Yep. Looks like a Green Lantern comic for sure."

    The Brazen Bull - Charlie Chipman Jun 28, 2017

    Another strong issue for the Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps series. Robert Venditti may be delaying the inevitable, but he's keeping each issue feeling fresh. Read Full Review

    Green Lantern Corps - iggy Jun 28, 2017

    Hal Jordan & The Green Lantern Corps #23 definitely is building up the tension, and while I'm not a fan of the Kyle/Natu love reunion I will admit that the involvement of their future child does bring an interesting twist to their potential relationship and after seeing Natu's reaction that Kyle was hiding this fact from her only spells for some interesting drama in the next issue. Finally even though it was a small roll in the grander scheme within the context of the issue I loved seeing John being put into this situation. You can tell by his dialog and how Van Sciver draws his body that Bolphunga's bluff ways heavy upon him as a leader. Really great issue overall. Read Full Review

    Comics: The Gathering - Hussein Wasiti Jun 28, 2017

    Venditti chooses to frame this murder mystery in the mindset of John and his desperation to keep the two Lantern Corps united. Despite this, the story was still on the predictable side and I wish it could have been more dynamic. Van Sciver's art is still epic, though. Read Full Review
