May 09, 2012Nine issues in and now the characters have a goal and Rankorr keeps getting more and more interesting. A great read. Read Full Review

May 03, 2012Peter Milligan's writing still suffers from the same problems -- overdone dialogue, poor pacing, and awkward transitions -- but such is the relief that the story now has a clear focus that it all does not seem so bad. Rankorr continues to be a flat character, but his insight into what it's like to be a Red Lantern gives him a purpose for being around. With several characters now in their right mind, Atrocitus now has a stronger supporting cast. Zilius Zox even offers up a logical solution to the poisoned power battery, but it falls on deaf ears. I'm not even sure if Atrocitus has ears. Read Full Review

May 19, 2012Red Lanterns number nine to me is the last page of the first chapter in the story of the Red Lanterns story.

I'm ready to put these past nine issues behind me and start anew with the series and I find myself looking forward to what I hope is a more focused direction for a book that I've had a hard time rallying behind.

Three out of five lanterns. Read Full Review

Red Lantern rage fighting and character development both in this issue. A good balance is back. We get the rebellion of Bleez, the continued development of the character Rankorr and the main storyline - the death of the red lantern power battery. The artwork is solid.

Red Lanterns 9 might be the best issue yet. Nothing extraordinary, but this issue is certainly more focused then previous ones. Milligan writes Atrocitus well, although I don't care for Jack
