Also, did you guys catch the connecting variants for this one and the one before? Cooool! Read Full Review

No only should you buy this book, you should comb the conventions and comic book stores for the previous 48 issues. The remarkable thing about this series is that it is able to drawn in larger themes such as this current arc's examination of capital punishment. But, it also has upped the ante in each successive arc. It didn't seem possible way back when Hal “died” fighting Sinestro. What could be bigger than that? Next issue's finale should take the proverbial cake! Read Full Review

Venditti knows how to satisfyingly wrap an arc with some great callbacks from earlier in the series and big time blockbuster moments. As much as Im not looking forward to the end of the series, I cant wait to see how he wraps one of DC Rebirths best titles. Read Full Review

The Green Lantern Corps have turned the tide on the Darkstars. The Darkstars, however are not going down without a fight. The final battle in this war is at hand, and every Lantern is accounted for to put the Darkstars down for good. Will willpower rule the galaxy? Or will capital punishment be the force that runs the universe from her on out? Read Full Review

Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps #49 turns the fight between the Darkstars and the Green Lanterns up to eleven with a great script elevated even more by some fantastic art. It's really a shame that there's only one more issue left of this series as it has been one of DC's most consistently entertaining series. This is one that you shouldn't miss. Read Full Review

Solid payoff as the Lanterns and the Darkstars hammer one another. The dialogue is terrific as characters battle and the visuals, though mixed, make this an epic struggle. I'm already sad that the next issue is the last issue, but I cannot wait to read it! Read Full Review

This is easily one of the most enjoyable slugfests I've ever read in a Green Lantern book. When it comes to action, Venditti and Sandoval are in perfect sync, playing up to all of their collective strengths. Amazing offering this week. Read Full Review

The Penultimate chapter of the Darkstar saga continues to heat up and entertain. Read Full Review

A strong issue that focuses on epic space action and John Stewarts' tactical plan. Besides these two aspects the issue doesn't offer much. However, this is the setup and first part of the ending. Read Full Review

Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps #49 did exactly what it needed to do build excitement for how Robert Venditti will close out his run on this series. Everything that happened between the Green Lantern Corps and Darkstars had a strong sense of urgency as both sides tried to get the upper hand in the final battle. Now that fight reaching its peak there are plenty of ways this all can end. All that potential adds to the hype around Venditti's final issue of Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps.

This is ultimately a story about the meaning of justice, and I think it might be a little too action-packed and widescreen to really get that across. There's no question it's an entertaining visual feast, and as the whole Green Lantern line gets ready to close up shop for a big revamp, I expect this series will finish strong. Read Full Review

Sandoval and Davila bring some great visual moments to the story. The art is visceral at moments and there are some great moments where the follow through to a punch looks brilliantly beautiful. This is a great issue that really made me excited to see how this story ends. Read Full Review

Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps #49 is a kick-ass continuation to the GL/Darkstars war for the role of top cop. We get to see the tactical intelligence of John Stewart, and Hector Hammond is really becoming an intriguing character. Sandoval, Davila, Tarragona, and Morey put together some brilliant artwork, and this one earns a recommendation. Check it out. Read Full Review

It is my hope this current story arc has only another issue or two left in it. As Isaid, its dragged in a few places, and Other than a great deal of punching and being punched, I dont know that it has much steam left. I would hate for its conclusion to be too long coming. Read Full Review

I know the series is ending, but this felt like a wasted issue. Read Full Review

Given the number of wild cards on their side, there could be some unexpected surprises in the next issue from Hammond, Zod, or any number of other characters, but here things go according to John Stewart's plan which gives the Corps a fighting shot (which is all they can ask for). Those on the front lines get a bit short changed in this issue, but I'm guessing the larger Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps #50 will find a way to allow each character to shine. Worth a look. Read Full Review

All of the stuff set up four issues ago comes to bear here, highlighting the pointlessness of the last three issues. Gorgeous artwork and brash epithets do not an interesting story make. This is a tale hobbled by superfluous moments and completely bereft of any palpable consequences. The series will go out with a whimper. Read Full Review

I’ve said what I have to say about the story. I’m not going to go so far as to call it a ripoff, but it’s pretty damn close. This issue is beautiful however, and I hope that this art team goes on to do incredible things in the future. Read Full Review

At this point, I'm just glad that this arc (and the series) is coming to an end soon. Read Full Review

12 pages of high octane action squeezed into...20? As has sometimes been the case, the bimonthly schedule has led Vendetti to pad things a bit too much. Never mind that Hector Hammond is just too effective. Still, I do want to see how it all wraps up.
