Green Lantern Corps #2
Peter J. Tomasi: Story and words
Fernando Pasarin: Penciller
Scott Hanna: Inker
Lanterns are dead. We must avenge! Let's flash our rings at it! Detain the enemies that we don't know - who strangely can destroy our constructs with some green energy like what we have! Hot headed lantern gets his limbs chopped off! Now the enemies are after us!
This was a good pick up to the story. Last issue we got to see intros to our two main characters, and this issue gets a little bit into the villain of the first plot. These villains happen to be able to fight Lantern's will power with their own green energy swords. This does call for a lot of green color through the book. This does show a lot of difference between the main Green Lantern book and this one - the main one has the chance to play with different colored corps, which can make the page now completely filled with green, and this one is mostly green. And by mostly I mean that there are pages that are almost completely green.
You get the sense that this is a team book, not every character really shines, but they all tend to get bits and pieces that I'm sure will look great when you read multiple issues at once. I don't know, I really wasn't into this book before the DC relaunch, I probably won't be on this one for long. The other GL books are better, and I think that a team book for GL just doesn't work for me.
Words: 7/10
Pictures: 6/10 - Too much green at one point.
Recommend: So-so. If you were into it before, continue with it.
Buy Next Issue: Third issue. After? Gotta bring on the thrills!
