Red Lanterns #9 Review


Since the very beginning of the Red Lanterns series there has been a slow, and some would say too slow, buildup towards a confrontation between Atrocitus and Bleez for control of the Red Lantern Corps.  Issue nine brings us a head to head confrontation between the two, but whether or not it is a satisfying confrontation or not depends on what the reader is hoping to see happen.

August 2012 Green Lantern Solicitations..Updated

The August 2012 solictations from DC Comics for the Green Lantern family of books has been released which includes a shock ending to this month's Justice League issue and the final issue of Justice League International which features Guy Gardner.  There's a lot to look forward to this month with so many plotlines wrapping up, and that's probably no coincidence with the Green Lantern Annual promising to change a lot of things in the Green Lantern universe.

Red Lanterns #8 Review


It's no secret that I've felt that Red Lanterns has been a bit of a let down and I've made it a point to try to let it stand on its own merits and not color my opinion with my own preconceived notion of what the title should be by focusing on what it is.  I really felt that issue 7 was a step in the right direction and that the book had finally found a focus with the arrival of Rankorr and a brewing civil war.  Issue 8 adds another plot to the mix which could render the civil war a meaningless affair as the ghosts of Atrocitus' past comes back to haunt him in a most volatile way.

Red Lanterns #7 Review



There have been a lot of plots running through the Red Lanterns series but as many fans will point out there doesn't seem to have been a traditionally defined storyline through the first six issues.  That's not to say that the book has been completely scatter-shot as we've started to see some cross between the various plotlines.  In issue six most of the pages were dedicated to establishing Rankorr as the second Red Lantern of Earth, but unlike Dex-Starr the human recruit has shown to be a little different than most members of the rage brigade.  This issue starts to pull some of these subplots together and it seems that we are on a collision course for a major upheaval in the ranks of the Red Lanterns.
