Green Lantern Corps, Volume 7: Revolt of the Alpha-Lanterns
by Tony Bedard
Really enjoying my time in the Green lantern universe. There's some misses but for the most part, it ranges from good to great. This isn't on the highest level but it's still pretty dang fun.
So this is about the Alpha Lanterns. They were created to be super charged, super strong, emotionless fighter. However, when they begin to take over regular lanterns, things get pretty fucked up for our crew. However, we find out someone mysterious is behind it all! You may have guessed it as he's been a thorn in the Corps side for a long time. That's right, Cyborg Superman has returned and he wants something new this time.
Good: The art remains very positive. Colorful and bright with some excellent fighting panels here. I also thought Kyle and Natu relationship seems real and very well done. The putting the pieces back together and trying to fix the broken theme is really good here too. I liked even John here, who I usually find boring.
Bad: The twist and turns are predictable. It plays it safe, never trying something to big. I also think the pacing can go really fast and fun to really slow and heavy exposition. Which is just a problem with most green lantern stories it seems.
Overall, pretty solid fun adventure. I liked the story here, the themes, but nothing blew me away. Still worth reading if you are a fan of the Lanterns though! A 3 out of 5.
