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.
