Overall, issue three was ok. It falls between the first and second issues where it doesn't have the overly dramatic dialogue from issue one but lacks the action and plot movement from the second. The pacing is this story's major flaw, and hopefully with Bleez now alongside Atrocitus the plot of this book can come into fruition. Read Full Review

That is perhaps the biggest flaw with trying to feature Red Lanterns in a monthly book - that the feral nature that appeals to fans about the Red Lanterns is precisely what holds it back from being able to a maintain a regular series without diminishing the qualities that make them so liked in the first place.  For that reason I'm giving the title longer than I normally might before pulling the trigger on it when there are so many books I enjoy more.  Three out of five lanterns.   Read Full Review

This issue is straddling between a 3 and 4 for me. Ed Benes' art has been the driving force of this book, especially with the great splash pages he has. We get to know Bleez a little better in an interesting little flashback, and I like the dynamic between these two characters. However, this issue felt like it could have been half the length, and I'm getting impatient with where the book is supposedly going. Lastly, just make the human a Red Lantern already. All things said, I recommend this issue. Read Full Review

Even if the inner workings of this weird little tribe remains fascinating, Red Lanterns suffers a lack of interesting anchor characters to help sell the reader on this book. Hopefully the coming conflict of leadership will help to spice things up. Read Full Review

Seeing Bleez's past was the meat and potatoes of this story and explains the nature of her rage. Read Full Review

It's clear this book is specifically marketed to fans of Green Lantern. I doubt they planned on this book bringing in many fans learning about the Red Lanterns for the very first time. That being said, questions are coming up about what these things are and how they think/operate. The real question for readers, though, are the questions enough to keep them coming back?

Anyways, bottom line, Red Lanterns #3 is okay. Not great. Not as awful as I probably made it out to be. Like I said, the art is great and that leads to some cool violence. One page has Dex-Starr snuggled in Atrocitus's arms, which is nearly worth the asking price. Of course, one panel down, we're left on a huge close up of Bleez's bum. I feel like that, more than anything, tells us exactly where this comic is going. Read Full Review

Pretty predictable issue. I think I liked Bleez a lot better as the raging and violent yet amusing psycho she was in Emerald Warriors
