Feb 04, 2015This was a depressing issue. It shows how grim and blighted a world filled with super-powered amoral people would be. And it shows how living a life like Guy's could burn the goodness out of anyone. It is a powerful and dark issue. Well written and well drawn. Read Full Review

Jan 28, 2015Red Lanterns #38 is a dark issue and rightfully so as Guy Gardner embarks on a solemn journey to protect the Earth from an emotional plague he himself brought on humanity. Equal parts horror movie and psychological exploration, the issue never feels weighed down by the heavy narrative thanks to writer Landry Walker's effective script and Jim Calafiore's engaging visuals. The first chapter in the final storyline for this series is off to a nice start and I'm really looking forward to seeing how Guy frees humanity, and himself, for this heavy emotional burden. Four out of five lanterns. Read Full Review

Jan 31, 2015All in all Red Lanterns #38 is okay. I wish there was more in this issue, but I'm okay with what I got. I'm interested to see where this will go for Guy since this will take a toll on him. I do wonder if this will play a big part in the last few issues of Red Lanterns, but I guess I'll just have to wait and see. Read Full Review

Jan 29, 2015This series is down to its final few issues. Unfortunately, the now-Marvel exclusive Charles Soule isn't on board to cap off the series and finish his ongoing plot threads. Read Full Review

Jan 31, 2015Now that GODHEAD is over and we can get back to business with our Lantern books, I was really excited to see where Landry Walker was going to take us with our final issues to this series. All we got though was the continuation of Guy Gardner's "woe is me" attitude and a story that felt a little off. Read Full Review

I liked the story here. The art was good not great. Story really carried it though. I thought without Soule it would have been lame but not a bad issue.

I was worried to hear that Charles Soule won't finish the series up, but this issue was pretty good. The art looks good, fits with the gritty context of the story. There's a lot of narration, but it fits. It's a shame that Godhead screwed up the flow of the storyline Soule had going but we're back to the dark place we left off at so hopefully the conclusion is satisfying.

So Atrocitus destroyed earth? No other heroes helped. Um, we need Soule back.

This is bad. Guy Gardner goes solo? Is this Red LanternS or Red Lantern - singular? No other red lanterns in the book? wth. Atrocitus infects the earth with rage, but we never see him? Ugh.

All narration, and no substance. Reads like a Scott Lobdell comic. Wish Soule stayed on to see this through.
