I'm done with the new Green Lantern title. Grant Morrison still doesn't do it for me.
In a bar on Rann, two shrouded strangers recount two blood-chilling narratives-one in which a Blackstar heavyweight demands access to a secret vault on planet Weirwimm, threatening its gruesome annihilation with Sun-Eaters; and the other about maverick Hal Jordan and his small cadre of GLs struggling to destroy those same Sun-Eaters. And the cliffh...
God I hate Morrison on this title. It's filled with a bunch of uninteresting nonsense that really just left me realizing that I'd never get that time back. I honestly don't know what people see in his writing but for me, he's barely a step above Tom King on my list of terrible writers.

While I still have hard time to read Grant Morrison language, this issue was a fun, less confusing issue that last one. The art is very good, dialogue felt bit wonky on few bubbles, mainly for Hal.

Even though i love Grant Morrison, the star of this book is Liam Sharp! He keeps outperforming himself every month! Theres no stoping him!
As for the story, Grants approach is fantastic to me. This is the most "space cop" Green Lantern book i could wish for.

Didn't love this as much as last issue, but it was still really good. It'll be interesting to see what Hal will do now.

Whether you are interested in Peter Cannon more
His level of genius is matched only by his heroics, and in humanity's darkest hour, he's the hero they need the most-alas, poor humanity.

First story arc was over and it was one of my favorite things of the year.
On Earth-Alpha, sidekick Stinger loses faith in the grim Dragonfly as villains take control of their secret crime-fighting headquarters! On Earth-Omega, Dragonflyman befriends a member of the murderous Number One's gang! Plus, a gritty Dragonfly flashback! EXTRA! More illustrated prose stories!

Ahoy is making a wise decision in calling each arc a "season" and then taking a break for a few months. Sounds like a great business plan.
Season One concludes! Worlds collide as three cats struggle to get home, another one crosses the line, and a kitten takes its first steps out into the cosmos. Featuring a shock ending that will rock Captain Ginger's universe! Bonus: Hashtag Danger grapples with the higher questions of existence. Plus the usual AHOY text pieces and illustrations!

This series is THAT good. Art. Writing.
It has this quality, like it's simultaneously from the 70's, 90's--and 2019!

So first these cosmic warlords are bidding over earth like Lovecraftian entities at an auction.

THE GOOD:
-I love the art. Nothing else I have to say about that.
-I also love all of the weird creatures that Morrison and Sharp conjure up. They really stood out in this issue.
-The auction was pretty great, I enjoyed that scene a lot.
-I thought that Shepherd was a really fun and interesting villain.
-I also liked the artificial sun, an more

A good issue of 2000AD. Not a good issue of a Hal Jordan series. Grant just doesn't get Hal.

Without the annoying dialogue quirks that really hindered my enjoyment of last issue, this issue is the best one yet. We get a really cool story and a great ending that I hope to see play out spectacularly. It looks especially bad considered the last arc of Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps, so I hope Grant Morrison is aware of that and may even bring it up in the future.

Let me just start by saying how gifted Liam Sharp is! Hes an unstoppable force of nature! The levels of detail on this book are amazing! Every time you turn the page is a new surprise! I was in awe the whole time while reading this book and ill be damned if Liam isnt nominated for an Eisner this year.
As for the script... Is Grant Morrison. The guy is a genius. Even if you find it boring, the more

What I enjoy is the cosmic scope of this tale more
Next stop: Krypton! As Hawkman's intergalactic road trip continues, the next location on his itinerary is the ruins of Krypton, the alleged location of the super-weapon that will help him stop the Deathbringers. There, he's suddenly whisked away to Krypton's final moments and meets his past-life predecessor, Catar-Ol. Hawkman tries to learn the fin...
I didn't like it. I was too weird. Like if the darkness is there but we don't see him.
Well with Sivana we see that quite right. I was with Mary on many choices.
Cover - Not related but very good. 2/2
Writing - I liked the part with the book, I want to see more of it. I find interesting the feel for the adoptive parent to host someone who tell he is Billy father. I would more

Now, everywhere i looked, it said that Dale Eaglesham was the artist. But thats clearly not the case.
