Green lantern 2 series#
This story in particular seems to dovetail with the plot proposed for the first issue of the new Green Lantern series which debuts in April. We check-in with Keli Quintela as she and Mogo head out on a mission to meet up with Jo Mullein in the search for the origins of Teen Lantern’s gauntlet. He does do a good job with the action sequences, but his body proportions seem wrong and some of his facial work seems very distorted and unnatural looking, particularly with the Imskians, and especially with the character of Kenz. John finds himself a prisoner of the Khund.Īrt is a subjective thing I know, but there’s something about Tom Raney’s art that just doesn’t resonate with me. For the lead story, this one was extremely weak and pedestrian.
All in all, this story felt like a wasted opportunity to do something, anything, interesting with John. Clearly, John knew who it was, but I fail to see the reason to wait until G’Nort (and presumably Salaak) are both dead to do that reveal when it could have just as easily brought the entire conflict to a screeching halt much earlier. I guess we’re supposed to be amazed by the identity of the “God in Red” when Orion shows up, but it was more of a shoulder shrug and an “okay, I guess” reaction from my perspective. When all is said and done I couldn’t find myself caring about any of the characters and I’m unsure why the story exists other than because DC needed a Green Lantern book to publish. For someone who feels that John Stewart is the best of the lanterns Thorne’s writing is less than inspired and very much “paint by the numbers”.
The “Last Lanterns” lead story continues to be the weakest link when it comes to this two-issue series. While much of Future State shows possible futures, this book lines pretty well with what we know is coming down the road with the Green Lantern franchise. This time the main feature is supported by stories featuring Teen Lantern Keli Quintela and Hal Jordan. Like last month’s first issue, Future State: Green Lantern #2 features a John Stewart led lead story by Geoffrey Thorne, with two backup stories.
