    Comic Book Corps - Justin Swenson Nov 8, 2017

    A truly wonderful team working on an epic title. The Metal tie-in is also brilliant. With this huge event happening in the DC Universe right now, this issue contributed its piece to the puzzle. I have no complaints. Pick this issue up, especially if you are following the Metal story closely".and if you're not, you should be. Read Full Review

    A good third act to the Bats Out of Hell crossover with great art, Venditti writes a compelling Hal Jordan. Read Full Review

    Bats Out of Hell hasnt been as satisfying a Metal tie-in as Gotham Resistance. This issue was fun to watch Hal battle a similar, but unique foe. Read Full Review

    This was a good chapter, but it narrowly missed greatness. Read Full Review

    SciFiPulse - Patrick Hayes Nov 11, 2017

    The visuals are outstanding, but this tie-in to the Metal saga is just an issue long fight. It looks good, but I had no emotional buy in to any part of the story. I wanted this to pass quickly so the interrupted exceptional Lantern saga written by Venditti could continue. Read Full Review

    Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps #32 might be an issue that some readers will skip if they aren't on board the “Metal” bandwagon. But for those who do pick up the issue it is an entertaining battle of wills that adds another chapter to the ongoing DC event without feeling like a filler. Eight out of ten lanterns.

    Black Nerd Problems - Oz Longworth Nov 9, 2017

    It's not a book that will "change Green Lantern as we know him forever" but as far as event tie-in slugfests go, it could definitely be considered a LOT better than it has any right to be. Very entertaining read. Read Full Review

    This issue is filler that does nothing to advance the plot of Dark Nights Metal but it is amusing in spite of that. Read Full Review

    Bounding Into Comics - Daniel Mills Nov 8, 2017

    Robert Venditti has proven his worth over and over to DC. His incredible success forValiant Comicsmade him the successor to Geoff Johns' incredible and lengthyGreen Lanternrun. Despite having to follow-up one of the most successful comic runs in the history of the medium Venditti has created memorable and exciting stories. He hasn't been afraid to shake-up the status quo or to alter some of the stories Johns told. He's helped to makeGreen Lanterna different world with the same tone. Despite the fact thatthis issue is just a tie-in, it's another success thanks to the team who brought it to vibrant life. Read Full Review

    Bleeding Cool - Joshua Davison Nov 10, 2017

    This is still a fun issue of Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps,even if it doesnt do much for the overall plot of Metal. Hal is still a badass, and the fight is cool. While the ending to the last entry of 'Bats Out of Hell' implied that Hal Jordan would do something of significance here, this issue is still a good action comic. I can recommend it to followers of Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps. However, followers of Metal hoping for something of interest to the story to happen would be severely disappointed.

    Weird Science - Reggie Hemingway Nov 8, 2017

    A pretty entertaining issue that has very little impact on the Metal story on a whole. There's something to be said for that. The pencils and color are spectacular, even if much of the book takes place in darkness. Read Full Review

    Batman-News - Brian Warshaw Nov 8, 2017

    Without much advancement for the greater Metalstory, Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps #32narrows its focus on a classic battle of will versus fear, light versus darkness. Unnecessary bookends rob the story of some much-needed story time, so what could have and should have been great seems to end rather abruptly. The artwork is still as fabulous as you would expect from names like Ethan Van Sciver, Jason Wright, and Liam Sharp, and the portions of the showdown that we do get to see are legitimately inspiring; so even if it isn't a slam dunk, it's a book worth checking out.

    Multiversity Comics - Gregory Ellner Nov 10, 2017

    Though lacking in some story consistency, the artwork of "Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps" #32 helps to keep it up to par with many of the other issues in the 'Dark Nights: Metal' event. Read Full Review

    DC Comics News - Matthew Lloyd Nov 8, 2017

    If you've been following Metal and all it's tie ins, this is no doubt a book you will want to read. If you aren't that interested in Metal then you can skip this issue. Despite Venditti doing the best he can with the tie-in, it's really not necessary to read unless you are trying to read all the Metal tie-ins. It's more of a distraction from the great work that's been going on in the book. It feels disjointed from the rest of the series and would be best enjoyed by those all in on Metal. Read Full Review

    Green Lantern Corps - iggy Nov 8, 2017

    Overall this chapter of Hal Jordan and the GLC could honestly be skipped if you're not interested in Metal, but even if you're not interested in Metal, I still urge you to read this issue. Read Full Review

    Comics: The Gathering - Hussein Wasiti Nov 8, 2017

    My excitement for this crossover is officially dead, no matter how excellent the art we've been getting is. Seriously: Porter, Sharp, and Van Sciver have gotten the short shrift when it comes to the quality of writing here. This issue focused on the wrong things when it had this big sandbox to play in.

    Comic Bastards - Cat Wyatt Nov 8, 2017

    I'm a big fan of cleaner lines in the Green Lantern comics, so I love what Sciver and Sharp are doing with this issue. Everything they draw is clearly defined, even the impact lines. That combined with the bolder colors (compliments of Wright) known to the GL world and this is exactly what I would expect for artwork in this series. Read Full Review

    Outright Geekery - Brian A. Madrid Nov 12, 2017

    Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps issue #32 would better served using more battle scenes, more plot twists, or even a small submissive love story. Anything would have been better than this. If you read, Batman: Lost issue #1, though there was little fighting in that comic book, I loved the storyline of psyche of Bruce Wayne and his Kryptonite. Read Full Review
