Comic Crusaders - Pb Abrupt Mar 28, 2017

It's a lilliputian muddled in places, a big plot point isn't really explained very well but other than that this might be what I become digital for the first time for. five/5 Read Full Review

Ethan Van Sciver's art is typically marvelous here, as it has been on every Green Lantern title he's tackled since bringing Hal dorsum from the dead in 2004's Rebirth. He's got every grapheme nailed, his world-building lives and breathes, he's equally equally comfortable with the two things that a GL title needs, epic widescreen space action and multiple character interplay. Van Sciver is down with all of it and makes reading this book a real joy, with his art brilliantly enhanced by Jason Wright's vivid colours. Let'south hope this is a team that, forth with Venditti, are on board with this title for the long haul. Read Total Review

With a big shift in the status quo, Venditti seems to have prepare the next groovy adventure that could run through multiple arcs. There's no telling what's in shop, but with this creative team, the results could be anything merely disappointing. Read Full Review

The Green Lantern Corps has always been at the center of multiversal shaking events, and information technology appears that another ane is effectually the corner. With Mr. Oz making an advent, the Rebirth Universe is about to come front and center to not just the GLC, but the rest of the DCU.

Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps #17 ends with a failed mission and a major change in the condition quo for Kyle Rayner which will please many fans. Robert Venditti fills the conclusion to "Quest for Hope" with some nice character beats and enough intrigue and foreshadowing to whet our appetites for what's to come up. Coupled with the always amazing Ethan Van Sciver art this issue is a existent winner. Nine out of and so lanterns. Read Full Review

Robert Venditti and Ethan Van Sciver craft the best consequence of the serial and so far, which is unsurprising given it spends nearly of its time focusing on the characters, their relationships, and the bigger Rebirth implications presented here. Read Total Review

I only accept ane affair to say Near the art in this book: Ethan Van Sciver, please stay on this book… I loved the art in final issue, but Van Sciver on art duties gives this book as special feel and a very unique expect. Read Full Review

This upshot serves every bit a chip of a break in the action, which may have been needed. It'due south a pretty practiced identify for new readers to hop on, if they're so inclined. The big development, revealed on the cover, is a chip of fan-service to a certain segment of readers, just I don't mind. I'm a fan, and sometimes I like a fiddling service. Read Total Review

Comic Book Revolution - Kevin Lainez Mar 28, 2017

Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps #17 did a lot in the style of bringing the franchise into the bigger picture of what has been going on in the DC Universe. Add in all the personal relationships that Robert Venditti developed over the course of the 'Quest For Hope' arc and you have the recipe for a successful issue. Now I'm even more than excited to see where things go from here. Read Total Review

Light-green Lantern Corps - iggy Mar 22, 2017

Ethan Van Sciver is known for his double splash pages, only the facial expressions from all the primary bandage of characters is what readers should be focusing on. Information technology gives these already emotional moments even more than bear upon when the homo heed sees something that seems familiar. It might be easy to write how a graphic symbol is feeling just the power to practise what with sequential storytelling is a souvenir that is extremely vital in today'southward ever evolving comic market.

It should surprise absolutely nobody that this issue has peachy artwork by Ethan Van Sciver. Nosotros've come to await that from Van Sciver, and he almost always delivers. He was one of the architects of the Green Lantern revival over a decade agone, and he's extremely well-suited for this volume. Whether the story lives upwards to the art is a little harder to pivot down. Read Full Review

Hal Hashemite kingdom of jordan and the Greenish Lantern Corps #17 brings with it a drastic change in pace as well as the stop of the "Quest for the Blue Lanterns" arc. Not a must-purchase per se, only a worthwhile read however. Read Full Review

After a really good story arc with Guy Gardner and the merging of the two corps, this story seems like filler that doesn't really move annihilation forth or capture much interest. Read Full Review

Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps #17 is a strange issue. After taking time to bank check-in on the recovering Guy Gardner, the issue focuses on building him up equally something special, while albeit he's no Hal Jordan when it comes to being a Green Lantern, and then immediately having the graphic symbol fail spectacularly, lose the power of the White Lantern, and (in celebrating his failure) render to his awful 90s costume as another Dark-green Lantern. Kyle screws up again, and isn't smart enough to realize it. Archetype. For fans. Read Full Review

I personally liked Kyle as the White Lantern, so I'thousand not thrilled with him going back to being a Green Lantern again. I AM glad he's wearing the same GL uniform every bit before. The artwork is worth the price of admission here - beautiful!
8.five

Surprisingly I was non that upset by the fact that Kyle Rayner became a Dark-green Lantern again. I think it was done very well and I think it volition setup an interesting storyline down the route.
8.0

Sciver better have a skilful plan for the separated rings and some swell moments coming for Kyle or I'll hate him for making him only another GL again
7.5

The moments with Guy are truly the highlight of this consequence despite the major plot point revolving around Kyle. And so, Kyle was trying to resurrect the expressionless blue lanterns and this happened instead? I gauge the rules surrounding the white ring have always been vague, information technology's often used as a deus ex machina, then is this a good development? I don't know, we have plenty of green lanterns from world equally it is, I don't meet the reason to take this direction, merely I'll requite it a chance.
7.v

I never enjoyed Kyle as a White Lantern and so I'yard glad he'south back to the roots. It's another instance of how the serial totally embraces the mythology of the characters. Also, the mystery of the band and hope is interesting. But, yet, this arc was too inconsistent in the quality of the writing and the problems were quite disconnected from each other. Overall, at present that all the situation is prepare, I'yard really excited for the adjacent sci-fi/time travel arc!
