A significant progress. And I've always loved to see Phantom Strangern and Hal teaming up.

DC should have known better than constantly making Hal a pathetic villain while price gouging his variant covers to make money.

Not bad. For the first time in a long while, Hal actually does something,
I can't help but find it amusing that on a crucial Corps meeting, somehow every member present is from Earth, including two actual children. Shame that Green Lantern, once a franchise represents space fantasy, now has become a private backyard of human chauvinism.

Isn’t the point of having a separate Green Lantern Corps book to have this be a Hal Jordan book?

That hater Morgan Hampton needs to fuck off.
And the scene of John and Shayera hiding in the closet is way too cringy and gross. It's like a creepy sex fantasy of a pathetic incel.

Boring and slow and lack of progress.
And it’s still hard to understand which genius came up with this idea that since Hal’s book sells well so it must be brilliant to shrink his role in comics.

Very disappointing that Jeremy Adams chose to pander to the DCAU fans who don't buy comics and ruin Shayera's character development. John/Shayera is just a shit pairng that has done dirty to the Hawks franshise. Also it is really a bummer that while every fan wants to see is Hal/Sinestro dynamics, Jeremy Adams stole Hal's frenemy relationship with Sinestro and gave that to John. Come on, hasn't John taken enough things away from Hal? more

Why the hell is Jessica Cruz giving speeches to all those senior lanterns? Who does she think she is?
Also way too many earth humams. When I read a Green Lantern books I expect to see aliens and weird cosmic stuff. This book is crowded with earth lanterns makes it so boring.

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 the story boring. Also why are all the Green Lanterns hanging around Oa? Shouldn’t they be out patrolling their sectors? Isn’t that their job? Maybe there is an explanation somewhere in the books as I haven’t been faithful to this particular run, but kind of a head scratcher. more

I have high expectations for this book but it just keeps disappointing me. I’m sorry. Since the more we buy, the less Hal we get, I don’t see the point of supporting this book anymore.

Did adams know Hal is supposed to be the protagonist of the book? 3 points for Sinestro. Rest is abomination.

Hi mark I would appreciate it if you don’t let Hal be mind controlled everytime he appears.

I'm 100% sure Geoff was thinking of Hal Jordan when he wrote Rook.

I hate the idea of Sinestro’s son. Tomasi really left a bad load of shit before moving on ghost machine. Tomasi is clearly putting in a lot of effort to portray the children as adorable, but they come across as annoying instead.

Disappointing.
1. Hal is portrayed like a fool and out of character. I know Jeremy wants to introduce the situation to readers through the dialogues between Hal and Jo, but don’t you have a better way to do this? Where’s Hal’s questioning spirit? His problems with the authority? His sharp instincts? His leading qualities?
2. This book is bloated with earth humans. We finally made it into the space yet all we can see are still earth humans. This is soooooo boring. Hey, Jeremy, we haven’t seen Salaak for a while, would you mind giving him a line? I’m sure he is the veteran here instead of Jessica Cruz, Simon Baz or Jo Mullein.
3. Hal saves the day in this issue because he got a ring from his friend Tom. So why is he the greatest Green Lantern? What’s so special about him? He is the protagonist of the book after all. We are supposed to expect something exciting or extraordinary from him..
4. I genuinely think Keli should be never mentioned again. This character is an abomination.

As I can see, Jeremy Adams is now making the same mistake as Robert Venditti did in his repulsive run. more

Although I enjoyed Hal's scene in this issue, a glaring issue with the current run has become too significant to overlook: Hal appears on merely a quarter of the pages.
It frustrated me and keeps frustrating me that we only get one book of Hal per month, ONE BOOK, yet it is not entirely focused on Hal. Meanwhile the other Green Lantern book, War Journal, is completely dedicated to John Stewart. Buying Hal's book, I am compelled to tolerate Jo Mullein, Jessica Cruz, Kyle Rayner, the fxxking stupid Teen Lantern, and now JSA, whose storylines do not contribute to the protagonist of the book. These characters have become a hindrance in my reading experience.
And the sorrow lantern is just a bad idea. The continual arrival of new lanterns has become redundant and exhausting. Come on, It's a big universe, with countless things to explore. It's better to leave the emotional spectrum alone before it become repetitive and draining. Additionally, Adams may need to reconsider: does he truly wish to make a man sharing the same surname as Hal's co-creator a villain?
I rate this issue a 2.5 as it is a quarter of the total 10. more

It's nice to see some HalCarol stuff but I can't help but ask, has Jeremy Adams ever thought about it, what's so great about Hal when he leads his teammates to a wrong way and relies on his girlfriend to be saved?

I don’t like how Williamson handled Merlyn. He’s making him the reverse flash of green arrow.

A great book with fascinating art. I'd love to see more Geoff's touch though.

Adams tried to explain why there are so many redundant earth lanterns. But this issue still failed to convince me of their validity. IMO they don't need to be legitimized. They need to be pruned.
And the Jessica Cruz backup story is so stupid. Thaaros just swallowed her clumsy lies and tricks like an idiot? That’s the big bad the corps are dealing with? Is this story written for infants?

Plus, too many earth lanterns are so boring. It would be much better if the one who rescued Hal is Arisia, Trilla-Tru, or Iolande, instead of Jo who nobody cares about. more
