DC decided to reboot their comic book universe, so I decided to blog along with it!
Red Lanterns #1
Writer: Peter Milligan
Penciller: Ed Benes
Fucking Awesome. Seriously.
I think this may have been the first 52 comic to be promoted. This or Batwoman. Either way, both have rocked. You will get the Batwoman later, but for now you have Red Lanterns.
This comic reinvigorated the Red Lanterns for me. They could be a one note joke under Johns, but now they feel like characters. Seriously, we got some back story, we got some action, we have some premise for the series. I'm loving it.
Shall I say it? Yes. This is better than Green Lantern.
We get everything a fan wanted from the Red Lanterns: A Dex-star story, an origin story for Atrocious, and then a reason for the series. This book was packed with plot, balance for art, and everything just worked.
I'm sold. For the series. Seriously. Give me whatever you have and I am there.
Words: 10/10
Pictures: 10/10
Recommend: Yes.
Buy Next Issue: I. Am. There.
