Peter Milligan's final issue basically feels like he wanted to leave a clean slate for upcoming series writer Charles Soule. New character created in the series aside (Rankorr), I have a strong feeling you could go into issue #21 without having read a single issue of Milligan's run, and odds are it'll serve as a great jumping on point. If you're super passionate about Atrocitus, then yes, you should read this just to have all of the facts on the character. But for everyone else who has felt letdown with this series, I'd say you can definitely skip on this and then give the new creative team an honest chance. If I could give half stars, this would be a 2.5. But, seeing as I can't, I think the solid art warrants a boost to 3. Read Full Review

I really enjoyed this issue and I like that Milligan left a lot of room for the new writer to take all of the characters wherever he wants to go. It was a pretty neat wrap-up for a run that doesnt get as much credit as it deserves. If only he had put a bird on it. He may have tried, but Id guess Dex-Starr ate it. Read Full Review

With this issue we conclude Peter Milligan's run on Red Lanterns.  Largely disliked by fans and plagued with mediocre sales there are many who thought this title wouldn't last very long.  The title's Wrath of the First Lantern epilogue effectively brings closure to the characters journey up to this point with the exception of the the return of the Inversions who are once again free to terrorize a universe which has changed greatly since they last walked among the living.  While issue twenty doesn't quite create the same sense of satisfaction that the rest of the book in the family does, it does manage to deliver.  Three out of five lanterns.

Rankorr, who represents the deadlock the Red lanterns are faced with, shuts down what finally felt like a step forward at the end, when Atrocitus suggests he uses his rage for good. Contrary to Johns and Bedard's heartfelt send offs, Milligan's last issue leaves me wanting more, for all the wrong reasons. Read Full Review

For a book that started out superbly 19 months ago, it's fallen tremendously. I'm glad to see a new team starting in next month. Read Full Review

Atrocitus finally getting his revenge is immensely satisfying. Every page without Atrocitus in it is near unreadable at this point.
