DC Universe Online: Legends #6- I had said before that DC Universe Online: Legends has been really good thus far. Thus far being the operative term as #6 did not match the previous issues. In this issue, Lex Luthor, Atom, and Black Canary finally got their hands on the Sinestro Corps rings, and launched their attack on Brainiac. Unfortunately, Brainiac has rings of his own and several heroes became casualties in the war. In the present, we were shown how Lex Luthor became struck in his armor. All were important parts of the plot which should be jaw-dropping for readers. Unfortunately, they are not! The problem was the pacing. Things felt too rushed for me. When Superman saved Aquaman, this important moment lasted all of 3 panels! Despite the solid work so far, I fear writer Tony Bedard is trying to squeeze too much into one issue.
Green Lantern #65- After the misstep in Emerald Warriors #8, I am glad to say that the “War of the Green Lantern” back on track. The four Earth Green Lanterns finally joined up and Hal Jordan came up with a crazy but possible plan to fight Krona. Each of them picked a ring of another color which gave them new powers and new uniforms to boot. The only problem I have with this issue was the amount of time Hal and Guy Gardener spent looking for the "Green House." It just seems like a waste of pages when you compare it to the top-notch action in the latter part of the issue. Luckily Doug Mahnke's artwork was again nothing short of masterful. If he and writer Geoff John can keep up the quality, “War of the Green Lantern” will be the comic event of the year.
Green Lantern Corps #59- First DCUOL, then Green Lantern Corps; writer Tony Bedard is becoming a superstar this year. Part 5 of the “War of the Green Lantern” has Hal, Guy, Kyle, and John saving Ganthet with their new power rings. As you expect, Ganthet was less than happy with the actions of the 4 GLs. Green Lanterns do NOT use other power rings! Of course Hal tried to reason with the Guardian saying that the rings gave them new weapons against Krona but it will not be enough as Krona had bought in the big guns. Mogo, the planet Green Lantern, is coming into the war! Much like Doug Mahnke, Tyler Kirkham's art was great. His work on the initial attack by Mogo on Ganthet was superb. You could feel the power of the epic strike leaping from the page as it struck Ganthet. Wow!
