*** Reviews the Entire Series ***

This is the worst comic book I have ever read. It really takes alot to make me absolutely hate a comic book, but Cecil Castelluci has managed to do that. I give it 2 for the effort and art, but the story, from the direction, to the concepts, to the writing and execution, this has to be the worst book of 2019. Its worst than Bendis Superman for crying out loud. This writer completely craps on the original design of the Fourth World, just to serve this narrative of female oppression from the male genitalia. It completely ignores who the female furies actually are in favor of painting all women as some kind of victim to the patriarchy. Fitting in feminist manifesto in a legendary cosmic world is a recipe for disaster. How bout you go with Cain to Maneaters with that bullshit instead of bringing it to mainstream. And Darkseid. DARKSEID. Holy fuck. I have no idea why DC picked up talent like this if this is the hunk of crap we are getting. Pulled a reverse WW and critics are praising this shit. Fuck off

If you thought only WB does not understand DC characters, as proven with multiple choices done in the DCEU (Riddler-Luthor, Harley and Joker both having tattooed faces, murdering Batman, TMNT Doomsday, etc.), read this comic and think again. Sigh, what a mess, where characters are merely one dimensional shells, and their stories are second to the pseudo-empowerment theme so unsubtle and ironically regressive, it could as well be a Marvel comic.

Look, I don't mind political comics - I'm a political junkie who follows the news and tries to learn something new every day. And also, I don't mind what many would label as feminist comics - I'm an egalitarian, so how could I?
But I do mind bad comics, and especially ones that are not just poorly written, but hurt the very causes they try to address and comment on. How can anyone read this and seriously contemplate on the problem of sexism and discrimination of women in today's society, while all the bad guys (yeah, guys, literally) we see here look and act like parodies? Even Ali G is less sexist and cartoonish than them!
In the end, instead of spreading the message of empowerment and serving as an inspirational tale, Female Furies is a boring, one dimensional cliche, regressive joke, where complex problems are portrayed as easy black and white ones, and nuance necessary to understand real life struggles is non existent.

Want to write a rape story? Fine, do it, but make sure it's neither a parody like here, nor an empty shocker like in the atrocious Batman Damned #2. Alan Moore accomplished that in Watchmen, and granted, he hardly used it to empower Silk Spectre, but at least it had its place in the big story, and has shown gigantic complexity of the issue, or at least a part of it. Female Furies doesn't - it's as subtle as Man-Eaters, as boring and soap-opearish as Supergirl: Being Super, and does nothing to be a genuine, informed and relevant commentary on something. Anything. Go figure.

Definitely don't recommend this comic - it does nothing to properly address the problem of sexism and rape, and if anything, it makes only disservice to it. Don't waste your money. Especially if you actually care about aforementioned issues - they deserve to be commented on, but not in such one dimensional, shallow way. more

PKJ and Manin on Superman = 10/10 in my book. The backups bring it down though.

I like the main story but rest? No. I don't like them.

The first two stories I thought were enjoyable to read. This bodes well for the future of Action comics and Superman

These stories on WarWorld are cool, but the most interesting piece of this tale is the first part with the girl against the zealot shit going on once Superman left. And no tnose editor's notes are not enough to entice me to see what's going on with Jon Kent in Future State.
Superman meets Planet Hulk with a cast of afro-centric characters for tne supporting cast ? I'll check out another issue.

Its kinda better than the first issue, but its still really regular.
The plot its really simple and it seems the interactions and action moments are really amazing, but it feels like the narration its getting slower and slower even with the issue finishing with the team fully formed. Some details like putting some stories that only exist in earth 3 are kinda funny. Also, Owlman backup story its great, but it seems that it has the same problem of the previous issue, it needs more pages to feel a credible progression.
BUT its still really funny to read. more

I was expecting something really bad since ive read Thorne story from Future State but it was actually... interesting. I mean, Kelly Quintela finally its a little bit likeable and she can be his own character and not Bendis pretending to be a latin child.
I will miss a lot Morrison and Hal Jordan, but this run looks like more like Jhons and Venditti did with the Lanterns. Now im a little bit more interesed in what its doing Thorne. more

LMAO people are still butthurt over the Hal Jordan tweets?

Ethan Van Sciver making pro-pedophile tweets: I asleep

One writer says he doesn't like Hal Jordan: real shit!

I gave it a 5 because I love Dexter Soy so those points are only for him and I subtracted for life points because the writing was a mess. Geoffrey Thorne is kind of a jerk, if you've seen his Twitter you know this but maybe you didn't know that he's also bad at writing comic books. This issue wasn't terrible but it wasn't far off and for some strange reason he's using Teen Lantern who is just a pointless character that didn't need to be created because Earth has way too many Green lanterns to begin with. Isn't she from Brazil? Don't they speak Portuguese in Brazil? Then why is she speaking Spanish in this issue? I love Dexter Soy and I absolutely love Green Lantern but the 2 things I really don't want are 1 Teen Lantern and 2 Geoffrey Thorne writing Green Lantern. This guy needs to go. I wish we got a better writer. more

I'm not a big Green Lantern fan. The titles I have read are few in-between. If not for Jessica Cruz's involvement in Darkseid War, I would have probably never picked GL up at all. This honestly wasn't on my pull-list either until I saw the Interviews Geoffrey Thorne did and was made aware of him through DC's Truth & Justice.

I'm going into this fairly unbiased and not that involved with Green Lantern lore. I like John and Simon, but I don't consider them my fav Green Lanterns.

While reading this I feared a little that Thorne would fall into the trap of using tired old tropes. He didn't. As much criticism as the Corps gets, the narrative never makes them bow to that criticism. They come out stronger. Especially the last third reads powerful to me.

Teen Lantern is very much an eleven-year-old. Her presence might still rub some the wrong way but compared to how other teen characters are handled in superhero properties, I found the take refreshing.

The art though... It's not bad but... hm. I know Dexter Soy has been complimented for RHatO a lot, so much so that quite a few readers see him as the ultimate artist for Red Hood. But apart from some panels, I don't see that same level of care here. Panels feel rushed. And maybe they were. Marco Santucci is on art duty for a few pages. 14, 17-18, and 29-31 (on digital) as far as I can tell. Thankfully, their styles don't clash, and Santucci is limited to drawing what happens inside the Conclave. more
