Green Lantern: New Guardians #2
Tony Bedard: writer
Tyler Kirkham and Harvey Tolibao: pencillers
Batt: inker
Remember our old friend, the story about how the heroes have a misunderstanding and they must fight each other? Well, its back. Seems that everyone except the Blue Lantern named Saint Walker wants to fight Kyle. Sigh.
We don't get much in terms of story advancement it seems. They all fight for the first little bit and then Kyle flies off without accomplishing much. Everyone decides to team up to go after Kyle to get their rings back. They have essentially moved the fight to the Green Lantern's home world of Oa where the Guardians want Kyle to give them the rings, which he can't do.
So Kyle has hopped from one group of people demanding their rings, to another group of people demanding the rings, to the rings going on his fingers. Which is odd, because that's what they should have done at the end of the last issue, there shouldn't have been any of this rings floating around him business for a whole issue.
It feels like a filler issue. It reads like a filler issue. The art makes it seem like a very rushed filler issue. Two artists on this issue, and you can tell. There are tiny details missing all around this book. Lantern symbols not appearing correctly, lantern text not showing up in certain speech areas where the art showed one action and the words showed another. Showing energy blasts around the rings the whole issue and then leaving it out for a couple of pages towards the end.
You sorta expect more from professionals. Major drop in the quality of the book.
Words: 6/10
Pictures: 6/10
Recommend: Only to show to an untrained eye how comics should not be.
Buy Next Issue: It will need a major bounce back to something better than this next issue to keep me interested.
