In issue two, Robin mentions that he has a translator and offers to give Supergirl one. Supergirl declines it, saying she knows the language.

Really liked this issue and now its piqued my interest. Geoff Johns really shows that he's one of the best comic book writers out there, if not the best modern comic book writer right now.

wow, don't know what to say about this one. well, I do. Felt like a 90s comic in the worst way. I give John's new status by the end of the issue, a year or two at most before it's forgotten and retconned.
The art looked more cartoony in this one too -
hoping for better things when the main GL title comes back at some point!

What a terrible ending to this series. John ends up being a "chosen one" God like character that cannot die - making a meh character into one that is even less interesting.
Kyle and Guy remain in limbo, and the Guardians are dead once again. What a mess! And the art - Santucci was fine but Tom Raney's style is just plain awful.
One can only hope that they let Throne do what more

Maud Benjamin reviewed Green Lantern #12 Apr 12, 2022
A series with no originality at all. All plots are dull. All the things Geoff Thorne does to John Stewart happened before on other lanterns. He is just trying to steal Hal/Kyle's achievements and thinks that would make John Stewart a great character instead of a pathetic copycat. And just thinking about Thorne really think dragging Jack Kirby into this issue can make his poor book work.

Alan caused the train crash that killed a lot of people because the conductor was busy having sex with him and wasn't doing his job. How is this respecting gay people?

-The thrilling introduction of new hero DREAMER in the DCU
What bomb? It is not mentioned in this story. You’re just imagining things and using it as a weapon to attack people.
First, they weren't having sex in the book, they just had their shirts off. Second, the bomb is a part of Scott's history. It's literally his origin. There was a bomb used to sabotage the bridge by Albert Dekker. As a Green Lantern fan you would think that you'd know that. Alan has trauma. His love died in an accident that was NOT caused by their love or even remotely his fault. But clearly you are just homophobic and don't care.
