Robert Venditti brought back a lot of the characters he has used in his stories, and now they're going to take part in all-out war with the Darkstars. Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps #47 art by Fernando Pasarin, Oclair Albert, Eber Ferreira, and Jason Wright Fernando Pasarin joins up for this issue, and his artwork[...]

I love Hawkman, and Robert Venditti and Bryan Hitch put together a great first outing, returning to Carter's archaeologist and monster-fighting roots while possibly changing the very future of the character. Batman: Detective Comics #982 cover by Sebastian Fiumara and Brad Anderson 2. Detective Comics #982 Batman: Detective Comics #982 put on a hell of a show this week with a pseudo-horror Batman tale bringing[...]

The Hal and Hector plot turns into a mind trip, watching John stare down Zod is awesome, and Guy's plot has some genuinely painful moments. The Guy Gardner angle is a little cliched, and I've said before that Robert Venditti's redux of the Gardner family is far less interesting than the old backstory A complex cop[...]

His return with Dark Nights: Metal was cool, but I wasn't sure initially if he would be back for good. Well, he has his own title again now under the talent of Robert Venditti and Bryan Hitch, and I'm very pleased. This first issue focuses upon one of the defining qualities of Carter Hall: his fascination with[...]

The Darkstars continue their path of terror across the universe while Hal Jordan, John Stewart, Kyle Rayner, and Guy Gardner seek help against this rising threat. Among the help the seek are General Zod, Hector Hammond, and the Sinestro Corps. Does it make for a good read?

Robert Venditti is quite adept at writing these characters at this point, and the art team of Peterson and Plascencia make for a gorgeous comic This one gets a recommendation Check it out.

Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps race to meet the Darkstar threat on the base world of the Controllers, but they have no idea the scale of what awaits them. Is it a good read?

The Darkstars have returned thanks to the Controllers' latest plan for domination. They plan to dispense lethal justice. Can Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps stop them? Is it a good read?

Robert Venditti does it again with this one Give this one a read, it's highly recommended. [rwp-review-ratings id="0"] [rwp-review-form id="0"] [rwp-review-recap id="0"] Hal Jordan has his Ring back, and that means it's time for him to go one-on-one with General Zod himself This is it: the fight to save the Green Lantern Corps from the murderous Kryptonian. Hal Jordan[...]

Dark Nights: Metal and Doomsday Clock in the same week? Still my beating heart. Plus, Daredevil reaches the #600 milestone. There is a lot to pack in your pull box this week.

The bad dialogue returned with this one, and it, along with some questionable plot contrivances, kills this issue. Joe Bennett provides some good artwork here too, but it's not enough to save this book. Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps #40 cover by Rafa Sandoval, Jordi Tarragona, and Tomeu Morey Win: Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps[...]

Robert Venditti tries to establish some animosity by having Zod blame the Green Lanterns for letting Krypton die, but it doesn't quite connect. Thirdly, it is a little awkward watching a super-powered police force unload on an indigenous population armed only with spears while that indigenous people worships a white family like gods This remains unacknowledged[...]

Hal Jordan is being held by General Zod on Jekuul. Kyle Rayner has reported this to the Green Lantern Corps, but the Guardians are unwilling to let their Green Lanterns jump into the situation haphazardly. Can they save Hal in time? Is it a good read?

Robert Venditti has well established by now that he has a firm grasp on the Green Lantern Corps There is plenty of good dialogue and fun to be had in their discussion, even with Kyle bleeding out on the floor. Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps #38 art by Ethan van Sciver and Jason Wright Ethan[...]

Damage continues to run away from Colonel Jonas, and he runs afoul of the Suicide Squad. Can Elvis survive? Is it a good read?

Robert Venditti once again shows he knows how to script a fun comic. Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps #37 art by Rafa Sandoval, Jordi Tarragona, and Tomeu Morey It also begs the question of how the Green Lanterns can stop the Kryptonians after Zod and his comrades finished Hal and Kyle so quickly I'm genuinely[...]

Robert Venditti always makes sure to leave something in each arc which will have some impact on the future issues of Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps, and, in this issue, that something circulates around Ganthet. Also, in case you were wondering, the Four Horsemen in question is the one with Ric Flair. Hal Jordan and[...]

Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps #35 by Robert Venditti and Jack Herbert is the most fun I've had with a comic all year. With its emphasis on camaraderie, teamwork, and just generally getting along, this comic about four space cops with superpowered rings managed to remind me that sometimes… superheroes can get along[...]

In Damage #1, Damage is a super weapon made of soldier Ethan Avery. He was created by the military, and he went off the chain immediately. Now, they want him back. Is it a good read?

These four Green Lanterns are the only ones to save them, and naught but an army of deadly mercenaries stand in their way. Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps #35 cover by Francis Manapul Robert Venditti continues his incredible run on Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps with a simple and straightforward tale of camaraderie[...]

He makes the Green Lanterns look appropriately legendary here, and I hope he has a lot more issues of Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps in his future. Robert Venditti makes use of each of the first four Earth Green Lantern Corps members He actually balances it really well, and Hal, John, Kyle, and Guy[...]

Daniel, Robert Venditti, Danny Miki, Tomeu Morey, and Tom Napolitano will be the first release from DC's New Age of Heroes, coming out January 17th. Damage #1 cover by Tony S Daniel, Danny Miki and Tomeu Morey To say that this title is just DC doing Marvel's Incredible Hulk would be ultimately reductive and unfair[...]

The Guardians have faced extinction and exile a lot in the past, so it wouldn't surprise me too much if Robert Venditti has decided to bring more into the mix. Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps #33 art by Jack Herbert and Jason Wright Alongside Herbert's incredible artwork is the color art of Jason Wright, who[...]

Hal Jordan, the Green Lantern, is battling the Nightmare Batman known as the Dawnbreaker, under Coast City. With an intense fight, is it a good read?

The Justice League squares off against the Nightmare Batmen in their Batcaves. Cyborg is left to watch helplessly. Is it a compelling read?

Robert Venditti and company have made a classic Green Lantern series with this book, and every series does have its weak links This is still an enjoyable read, and I do recommend it, even if isn't particularly incredible. [rwp-review-ratings id="0"] [rwp-review-form id="0"] [rwp-review-recap id="0"] We learn that an alien species from the planet Kroloter have targeted Hector Hammond,[...]

Superman has had a run-in with Sinestro and Parallax on the Antimatter Planet Qward (which actually took place in Superman #30, which I reviewed!), and he thinks Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps should investigate. Things may not be as they seem though, and Superman may still be infected with the fear-demon Parallax. Robert Venditti once[...]

John, Guy Gardner, and a division of Green Lanterns ride out to stop them before they unleash Yuga Khan from his prison. This is another showdown issue of Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps, and Robert Venditti has proven time and again that he knows how to make these awesome It's just the Green Lanterns[...]

Robert Venditti really does something special here. I cannot praise Rafa Sandoval's artistic talent enough I've said it before: he is one of the best artists currently working in comics His work is incredible here, and I hope to see him on other titles, too. Tomeu Morey provides phenomenal color work to complement Sandoval's talent, allowing for[...]

Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps #27 is the most narratively thin issue yet, but a straightforward issue every now and again is good for a series.
