I'm not a big fan of this superstars thing going on. Back and forth on writers and jumping to stories that take place before current events doesn't make me want to come back every month and John Ridley is certainly not a Superman superstar. This feels as boring as Straczynski's grounded run to me and the art is a bit of a let down. This is no where near a $5 book.

Starman123 reviewed Green Lantern: Fractured Spectrum #1 Jan 16, 2025
The writing and artwork are both okay. There are a couple of things that lower the score for me. What I thought made Geoff John’s run on Green Lantern good was that he had Hal as the focal point of the story and all the other lanterns as secondary characters. That makes sense to me. Here there seem to be many stories going on with multiple characters and too many Green Lanterns results in making more

Agree that there are too many characters and the narrative has become unfocused. In general I feel like when a writer tries to make everyone important to the story then quickly no one is important to the story.

art was good. But again for my Absolute Wonder Woman issue, the reason why I am not a fan of Tom King's writing for Wonder Woman is that when he writes out Wonder Woman's thoughts it is SO boring and dry. It's not complicated like Simon Spurrier's Flash, but the wordings feel so stiff, stale, and lifeless. Wonder Woman thoughts are Odious and banally and veracity, and she quotes people in her own more
