Green Lantern #8

Green Lantern #8 offers the arrival of the Blue Lantern Razer on Earth who warns Hal Jordan of attacks against the Power Batteries of multiple of the rainbow brigade leading him to challenge the exiled Green Lantern to try and make a difference. Unfortunately, despite a will to succeed, Hal is unable to breach the barrier that keeps him contained on Earth. The plot, which feels like a homage to classic Silver Surfer tales, but, like with the Surfer, the best adventures are always out in space isn’t anything special, although there is some good humor and the art by Amancay Nahuelpan is great to look at.

G’nort’s Swimsuit Edition

Despite the title, G’nort’s Swimsuit Edition is not a collection of G’nort in swimwear (although the Green Lantern from the planet G’newt is the centerfold for the issue). The one-shot is made up of mostly art from various artists giving us a wide assortment of DC heroes and villains in beach and swimsuit poses. Attempting to add a bit more substances, two short stories are thrown in as well.

Relaunching the title with Hal Jordan as the only Green Lantern of Earth, the new volume of Green Lantern starts off in the aftermath of recent events with the Guardians of the Universe still missing and Earth declared unsafe and no longer under the Green Lantern Corps protection by the United Planets. Thumbing his nose at authority, not for the first time, Hal Jordan has come home to a world where fighter pilots have been phased out where Carol Ferris has moved on and his fellow Earth Lanterns have been assigned lightyears away. Except for John Stewart who appears to also be on Earth?

Green Lantern Corps #201

Throwback Tuesday takes us back to the DCU following the shakeup from Crisis on Infinite Earths and resetting of the Green Lantern Corps in Green Lantern #200 which changed the comic from a solo title to a team title by sending seven Green Lanterns back to Earth following the departure of the Guardians. The comic reminds readers of the changes to the universe with a quick stop at Ch’p‘s home sector before he and Salakk both join Hal Jordan, John Stewart, Katma Tui, Arisia, and Kilowog on Earth.
