Nobody told Scott Snyder the Flash's ring isn't his power source?

This is so OOC and ridiculous. Hampton is even worse than Thorne.

Honestly not bad. Shame that the book got cancelled because the writer said something inappropriate.

I can't believe the more Ewing writes, the more Jo resembles main universe Hal. She comes from a single parent family where the parent keeps telling her to be restrained, yet she has this urge to break out. Later She quits her job because she has problems with her superior. Ewing even stole Hal's villain Black Hand and Hal's city for her.

Mark Waid you need to stop simping over James Gunn. Disgusting.

This piece of shit finally ends.

If you want to write John so much, why not just give him a book? You never see Hal gets that much spotlight in John’s book.

Nobody fucking cares about Teen Lantern. Just kill her already.

Al Ewing finally provides readers with more substantive information regarding the secrets of the Green Lantern construct and how it relates to why Hal Jordan has a Black Hand, why Jo Mullein has a green ring, why Guy Gardner is missing (and still alive), why John Stewart is glowing yellow --- and what the heck "Abin Sur" has to do with anything --- other than just speaking esoteric jibberish in a successful attempt to confuse readers for the past 5 issues.

To be clear, issue 6 does provide answers and establishes a hierarchy of powers divided along a spectrum that relates to chaos, focus, understanding and enlightenment. Unfortunately, Ewing fails to understand what makes the mythology of the Green Lantern so popular; namely, its simplicity. The Absolute Green Lantern lacks the simplicity and verisimilitude of the mainstream GL mythology. It replaces the innate intuitiveness of an emotional spectrum with a poor man's version of a Buddhist cult - complete with an enlightened cross-legged man (Stewart) whose difference to the Buddha lies primarily in not being morbidly obese whilst glowing yellow.

I should love this issue because it finally reveals answers to many questions. Yet somehow it feels empty. I know why. The pacing has been wonky with muddled time-jumps from the very first issue leading to unnecessary confusion. Worse, the art has been unworthy of the Absolute line with somebody apparently refusing to inform the artist that backgrounds are necessary. Finally, the color work is deficient. The lack of color work in this series is frankly, unforgivable. There are pages where I swear to god I wonder if a kid attempted to color the page with a crayon. The manga. anime style does not work for this series. It needs better art, detailed backgrounds and a more stream-lined story.

As a side note, isn't it kind of, I don't know, wrong, that my favorite character in this series is Hector Hammond? We have literally been introduced to Hal, Jo, John, Guy, Simon and Abin ---- and I could care less what happens to any of them. Hector is the only one who seems to have a personality. Maybe if the storytelling was not so disjointed and impossible to fully appreciate time jumps because the artist makes no attempt to visually distinguish them? Anyways, I want to love this series. Instead, I find myself waiting for something interesting to happen and for the story to tell me why I should care. I give issue six a 6.5/10. more

Finally human language but didn’t make the book interesting.
I have a question for Al Ewing. If he tries to build Sojourner Mullein as a hot-headed, big-hearted character who screwed up her relationship with her loved one, doesn't he realize it sounds a lot more similar to Hal Jordan than Sojourner Mullein?

Adams really needs to do more homework. Sinestro committed a genocide on Kilowog's people. They are not close enough that Kilowog calls Sinestro by "Thaal".
And still too many earth lanterns make this series boring.

Sojourner Mullein really is an annoying character. Her power was stolen, which caused the death of an entire city, and then she had the nerve to stand on the moral high ground and accuse Hal. BTW does Ewing know that Green Lantern Oath was originally written by Hal in Silver Age canon? He really changed it into a cheap love word of a broken couple?

Better. But still, teen lantern and John Stewart’s fake sister are annoying.

What a missed opportunity to follow up on Soranik Natu's current whereabouts! I really don't like the "Sinsons" and Jo and Jessica are two of the least interesting human GLS, so this issue held nothing for me. Can we please get some much needed focus on the cool alien members of the Corps?

Oh great. First teen lantern, now Tomasi’s shit oc Sinson. Adams and Hampton, you two are the real raccoons rummaging through trash bins.

Very disappointing that Ram V totally messed up with Hal Jordan and John Stewart's characteristics. Hal is all about defying authority while John is the one who takes orders and follows the rules. Ram V reversed their roles just to prop up John and make Hal look bad. I feel that DC writers these days just can't write John Stewart without shitting on Hal Jordan.

This is one of the cringiest books I've read in quite some time. Keli is by far the poorest GL character since the creation of Simon Baz, so having both of them lead half of this issue was of little interest - and their half of the book was about as boring as the Geoff Thorne run. Meanwhile Guy Gardner jobs for Evil Star and the reveal of Narf's talents is too little, too late.

Meanwhile the art looks like Manga, and not good Manga at that. more

Well done, Al Ewing. The greatest Green Lantern punched and lectured by a shit character who can't sell her own book. Is that what you said "Absolute Universe is about modernizing the heroes while staying true to their core"? That is how you stay true to the core of Green Lantern?
