Previous Issues

Writer: Peter Milligan
Pencillers: Andres Guinaldo & Jorge Jimenez
Inkers: Mark Irwin & Jorge Jimenez
Words: 4/10
Pictures: 4/10
Recommend: Nah. This just seems like too much, too fast, not fully developed, and not having a direction.
Buy Next Issue: Next issue will be the last one unless there is some sort of spectacular issue that brings some clarity to what is happening.
Red Lanterns #7
Writer: Peter Milligan
Pencillers: Ed Benes & Diego Bernard
Inkers: Rob Hunter, Mark Irwin, Sal Regla & Dave Meikis
Words: 6/10 - I like that it is picking up the pace, I just think it is old ideas being reused.
Pictures: 5/10
Recommend: If you were waiting to see an issue of Red Lanterns pick up the pass and have been skipping lately, come see it. If you are new to this, Guy Gardner's appearance won't make sense, you won't get the deal about Sinestro members cutting off their fingers, and the ending ends on such an abrupt line that will just leave you feelings deflated. And Rancorr has yet to be referred to by name in the comic even though the solicitations the past couple of months have been referring to him as such.
Buy Next Issue: If this situation doesn't develop into something better by next issue, I may be done.

Writer: Peter Milligan
Pencillers: Ed Benes & Diego Bernard
Inker: Rebecca Buchmann
Words: 3/10 - stop repeating yourself.
Pictures: 3/10 - the guest art did not do well this issue. The impossible bending of the female characters. Come on.
Recommend: Not at all. This is not the Red Lantern comic to get if you want to have been with it since issue #1. If this is your first time, you probably won't be back.
Buy Next Issue: This is the first stumble for Red Lanterns for me. If this is going to be par for the course of the book from here on out, I won't be around long.

Writer: Peter Milligan
Artists: Ed Benes with Diego Bernard
Inker: Rob Hunter
Words: 7/10 - unless the next issue hits a home run, then this issue will look better by reflection.
Pictures: 10/10 Consistent on the art end of things. Loving it.
Recommend: Just like with Batwing #5, wait until you can read both issues at once and then it will be better.
Buy Next Issue: This was the first "bad" issue for me, let's hope this isn't the start of a new trend.

Writer: Peter Milligan
Penciller: Ed Benes with Diego Bernard
Inker: Rob Hunter
Words: 8/10
Pictures: 10/10
Recommend: Hell to the yes.
Buy Next Issue: Count me in.

Writer: Peter Milligan
Penciller: Ed Benes
Inker: Rob Hunter
Words: 10/10 - perfectly told origin type of story.
Pictures: 10/10
Recommend: If you are only getting two Green Lantern books, get Green Lantern and then get this one. Its what I would do.
Buy Next Issue: See above recommendation.

Writer: Peter Milligan
Penciller: Ed Benes
Inker: Rob Hunter
Words: 9/10
Pictures: 10/10
Recommend: If you skipped the first one, you can still pick this one up and not miss much if you know the Red Lantern backstory.
Buy Next Issue: NOW!

Writer: Peter Milligan
Penciller: Ed Benes
Words: 10/10
Pictures: 10/10
Recommend: Yes.
Buy Next Issue: I. Am. There.
