Green Lantern #24 - DC


I really can't even say enough about this book. It's incredible. We all know that Geoff Johns is a brilliant writer. And hopefully you've all gleamed to the fact that Ivan Reis is an incredible penciller. I mean look at that opening spread page. It's really . . . amazing. Or how about the look on the face of Hal's brother, when he's being threatened by Parallax, and then Hal comes zooming through the terrace to save him. But, as visually stimulating as the art is, the interaction between characters, and dialogue, is just as mesmerizing. I especially like the interaction between Hal and Kyle when Hal goes inside of Parallax to try to save him. My only question is, in the last issue of Green Lantern Corps they were talking about how they couldn't find Guy. But he's here in this issue. Was he not really lost, or were they just surprised that he didn't join in the fighting at Mogo? Anyways, the last page of the issue shows all 4 of our Earth-born Green Lanterns charging their rings together. They're getting ready to take the fight to Sinestro. And all the culprits are gathered together. Anti-monitor, Superboy Prime, Cyborg-Superman and Sinestro are all around the moon and heading towards Earth. Talk about a battle royale. If you aren't buying this book, you really don't know what you're missing. It really is incredible.
