Watch Online Full Movies : Kyle Rayner

I am a tad late on my review for Green Lantern: New Guardians #6, but considering that last week’s comic releases were slim at best I think it is still fairly relevant.

Last issue, we found the ragtag group of Lanterns being forced together by Larfleeze and teleported to an artificially created solar system composed of copied worlds, dubbed the Orrery—some of the planets the Lanterns recognize from their own travels. Upon entering the Orrerry the Lanterns agree to pair off (at Kyle Rayner’s behest) in order to discover the meaning and origin of their journey and the artificial solar system. Before long, the inhabitants of the copied worlds begin to call for their savior because of the Lanterns intrusion, thus summoning the Archangel Invictus to “smite the wicked.”

Invictus first attacks Munk and Fatality drawing the other colored Lanterns quickly to battle. The majority of the issue focuses on the battle between the colored Lanterns and Invictus. Apparently, he smells the stink of Larfleeze upon the group and wishes to avenge whatever misdeed Larfleeze has caused by eradicating the Lanterns.

Overall, I enjoyed the issue. It was great to finally see all of the colored Lanterns semi-cooperating as they worked together to defeat Invictus. They all have varied powers and often times they compliment each other even though their respective Corps are usually at odds with one another.

Also, as an aside, I enjoyed the humor and relationship between Kyle Rayner and Golmulus. I was fearful that Golmulus was going to be annoying at best, but honestly I was pleasantly surprised by the light-hearted dialogue between the two and it did in fact add to the issue. I am not sure if everyone would agree with me, but personally I thought it pretty awesome.

Tony Bedard’s story arc has been refreshing. He has found a fairly logical way to lash together a motley crew of Lanterns, while introducing a good twist and a decent villain. The beginning of the run was slow to start, but I think that in this instance the pace was necessary in order to set an adequate foundation. Tyler Kirkham’s penciling matches what readers have come to expect from a Green Lantern comic; and Nei Ruffino’s colors are vibrant and colorful, which is necessary for a series that is primarily focusing on the different Lantern Corps.

So far, Green Lantern: New Guardians has been a solid run—we will see if DC can keep it up.

As my friends, family, and colleagues know I am a huge Green Lantern fan and aficionado. I subscribe to the big three: Green Lantern, Green Lantern Corps, and Green Lantern Emerald Warriors, and pick them up faithfully every release date. All of the aforementioned have had phenomenal runs thus far. However, since the conclusion of "The War of the Green Lanterns" the quality of DCs comics on a whole has slipped drastically.

Personally I think that in an effort to meet deadlines (which DC is infamous for missing) they have been hurrying and churning out the last several issues of their entire line up en masse with very little quality control. Everyone is so 'onboard' with the new 52 that they seem to have forgotten about the readers.

I have always preferred DC over Marvel, but lately I find myself reading more and more Marvel because they are at least consistent in their quality and direction. It seems as if the writers and artists pushing for DC's new 52 have their own agenda and if everyone else does not fall in line or see 'their' vision they are proverbially fucked.

If I were a writer for DC and had poured my heart and soul into a series and was then told that I had only a handful of issues to sow up a dozen issue story arc I would be pissed and I would half ass my way to the finish line in anger.

I would rather have a line up of high quality, late comic books than 52 new ones that can only exist by destroying numerous series that have just recently hit their stride story and art-wise.

After reading Green Lantern Corps #63 I was thoroughly peeved. It was just a mishmash of 'perspectives' strewn together that really furthered no plot. It was not apart of something larger or even a one-shot arc akin to the way Emerald Warriors has been implementing since the conclusion of "The War of the Green Lanterns."

In a nutshell Green Lantern Corps #63 is the first Green Lantern comic book that I have been disappointed with and sadly it was the last before 52's new relaunch. And, it is not because of lack of talent...it is because of laziness and a lack of focus on DC's part.

Instead of ending with a bang they went out with a whimper. Hopefully the reboot stuns and amazes, because this comic book fan is now a Green Lantern Corp skeptic.
