mysteriousmre 's review for:

War of the Green Lanterns by Geoff Johns
3.0

A good enough culmination to everything that's happened to the Green Lantern comics so far. The situation's dire, the stakes are high, and I wouldn't say anybody is written out of character given the intense amount of pressure on everyone, but I still found myself on autopilot for half the book. The main culprit I think is all the recap dialogue at the beginning of each issue. This story is *huge* and takes place across 3 different books by different writers. I understand the necessity (not every series was writing with trade paperbacks in mind in the early 2000s), but it got old having to go over everything that's happened every time we jump to a different issue. It's still good, it's just not great, which is why I don't think I can go higher than 3 stars.
