"ZOD'S WILL" part two! Mounting an escape from General Zod's prison camp, Hal Jordan and Kyle Rayner must face down the natives of the Kryptonian villain's new planet. As Hal and Kyle fight to survive the natives, Zod and his family, can even one of them make it out alive to warn the rest of the universe about the growing threat?
Kneel before the awesomeness that is “Zod's Will”! Hal Jordan hasn't been this cocky in a long time and it's incredible to rediscover this aspect of his character. The visuals are to die for. If you love comics books, you'll love this. Seriously. You're going to love this. Read Full Review
Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps continues to chug along with great characterization, exciting action and intriguing situations. Hal's in trouble and there's no doubt he will be rescued, but it's more about the how. This story line seems linked to what's going on in Action Comics right now with the "Booster Shot" arc. Perhaps, there will be some grand unified action that links them! Read Full Review
Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps continues to be a strong and consistently engaging book. With its ever-endearing leads, a great villain, and a strong stable of artists, this book scores another recommendation. Give it a read. Read Full Review
Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps #38 takes a pause after the raucous start to "Zod's Will" to build tension between the Green Lanterns and the House of Zod. Along the way Robert Venditti showcases the heroism and grit of our main characters while reminding us why the Kryptonians might have a beef with the Green Lantern Corps. Ethan Van Sciver's art is as usual a visual spectacle. Read Full Review
A good issue and an improvement on the events that inspired it. Great dialogue and art. Read Full Review
HAL JORDAN AND THE GREEN LANTERN CORPS #39 continues the "Zod's Will" storyline by pulling back on the brutality of the last issue. Robert Venditti highlights the strategy of both Hal and Zod, all the while hinting towards a bigger plot. Read Full Review
This storyline has a ton of potential and I'm enjoying how Venditti immediately stacked the deck against the Corps. It's been a fun ride so far and I'm anxious to see where the story goes next to even the odds for Hal and company. Read Full Review

Venditti continues to bring the epicness to the world of The Green Lantern Corps. This issue was the calm before the storm and you can hear the thunder. Amazing issue once again from Robert Venditti and Ethan Van Sciver. Read Full Review
The artwork was great for this issue; I couldn't help but wince every time I saw Kyle's injuries. They did a good job of making them look terrible, but not graphic (a tough balance when dealing with superheroes). I particularly loved the last panel with Kyle. I won't lie, I absolutely scoured that image for any additional details I could get out of it. Read Full Review
Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps #38 is purely a set-up issue. There is nothing wrong with that as there is a lot of quality character for Zod and the planet of Jekuul. Unfortunately the portrayal of Hal Jordan left a lot to be desired as his status as greatest Green Lantern of all time made for some questionable story decision. That said, the strength of Zod's character development and Ethan Van Sciver phenomenal artwork elevated what happened in Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps #38. Read Full Review
Robert Venditti didn't have to try too hard to make the Kryptonians and their worshipers seem like they can actually take on the whole Corps. That gave this story a lot of potential places to go in the next chapter, and it's worth sticking around for. Read Full Review
Kyle and Hal remain battered on Zod's stolen planet, but Hal's got a little trick...down his sleeve. This issue moves at a good clip, but advances the story incrementally and has a lot of chit-chat. I could probably read transcripts of Zod's pompous orating all day, but I don't know that I'd pay three bucks for the opportunity. Read Full Review
Despite my enjoyment of the issue, there isn't much to write home about. I think I'm excited to see where the story goes next, and the art was pretty great. Read Full Review
Overall, I am liking the story being told in Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps #38. Again, it is not a groundbreaking story or anything, but it is a solid superhero story. It is cool to see the Lanterns go up against unusual villains and how they are going to deal with them. The only major let down is the art stumbles a little with issue #38 when compared to issue #37. While still good comic book art it lacks the energy of issue #37. Read Full Review
It's nice to see Ethan Van Sciver back at the drawing board. While he's cemented his place within the Green Lantern lore, it's rare to see him draw more than an occasional issue here or there. Perhaps he needed a mortgage payment this month. Read Full Review
Vendetti does provide an interesting Kryptonian perspective on the Green Lantern Corps during this issue, but this comic largely suffers from a case of "too much talking, not enough showing." Read Full Review
Just that amazing.
wow. the art is almost always wonderful and that doesn't change here. and... Hal Jordan just might start growing on me. I've always been kind of a lukewarm fan. Mostly liking the GL stuff because of the art. But this is the first time I've really gotten to see why people like Hal Jordan so much. yeah. I'm on board!
The best part of this issue is the artwork! Van Sciver is the man! It's absolutely beautiful. The scene with the ring going through the Eradicator's head is AWESOME! So, the art alone is worth the price of admission. The story... good, but not great. It's moving a little slow for my taste. Art 10; story 8.0 = 9.0 overall.
Hal always finds the coolest ways to get though situations like this.
The story made sense. The people are not slaves of Zod and think he is their god. Makes sense
They're mining something that can pierce green lantern constructs. Again, a purpose and reason for being there, which I like.
Hal's ring is different then the rest so I can see them escaping how they did. So, again it works!
And I think they are keeping them alive in fear that the rings will fly off and find a new "host" while they study it. Again, makes sense.
I loved the throwback to tomar re and krypton going boom boom!
Iit had great art!
It was nicely put together and continued the story well.
Loved it!
If you like what you heard, love talking comics, more
