Green Lantern Volume 4: Dark Days TP (The New 52): Dark Days (The New 52) (Green Lantern, 4)

I was one of the many sceptics regarding where the series would go to after Geoff Johns finished his epic run, but the story carved out in this book by Robert Vendetti and the excellent art from Billy Tan and Rags Morales wash away all fears. After the events of the Third Army and First Lantern, the Corps are without leadership so the Sentinel Guardians put Hal Jordan in charge of the entire Corps at one of their lowest points. Oa is in danger, recruit numbers are low and Hal struggles to balance his responsibilities as a leader as he tries to do everything himself. The future of the Green Lantern Corps begins to take shape and it's very promising.

Great graphic novell! the art are amazing! The colors fantastic! The history (created by the writers) is fabulous! For me the book is beter than the work made for geoff jonhs! Robert Venditti and Billy Tan are a great team! This team are one of most brilliant team who work with green lantern! I recomend!

Geoff Johns did such an amazing job on Green Lantern, that the next person to take over the emerald knight, would be under big pressure. And although the book starts slow, within a couple of issues the story really kick starts. I really enjoyed this book, rest assure Green Lantern fans, this book is; in great hands for the future.

As described in the advert.

It would be fair to say that Green Lantern has had an amazing decade. Geoff Johns relaunched the book and revitalized interest in the book and the characters, he wrote epic tales such as “Rebirth”, “Sinestro Corps Wars”, “Blackest Night”, “War of the Green Lanterns”, so here we have his replacement and the team as a whole on their first GL book, and there are some teething problems. The first being that the characters themselves, seemed a little out of character, especially people like Carol Ferris, Hal Jordan and even more obscure members of the GL Corps. Another problem is the story and the way it is set out in this book, you get about 1/3 through and realise that events have taken a drastic turn and things have progressed a lot in just one chapter, and that is because (I’m assuming) that the rest of the story takes place in the other GL titles like New Guardians and Corps, this is a problem, there is a huge chunk of the story missing with little to no explanation as to why. Why DC didn’t release all volumes relating to this storyline all at once I’m not sure, a very strange move, because unless you have all of them, you won’t get the full story, quite bizarre. But the story itself as well, seems a little bland, SPOILER, Hal Jordan is now the leader of the GL Corps, why they chose to put the most reckless, spontaneous Lantern in charge I’m not sure, John Stewart would have made a much better leader, but I’m sure Hal will improve with time. Overall I think the story was bland, the art was very nice though, the characters were not written how they usually are and the book was jarring because of all the holes that I presume will be filled once you have read the other books. I have hope that the new creative team will improve, it’s unfair to judge with one book, so in the words of the Blue Lanterns, I’m sure all will be well?

loved it

I read a library copy of the paperback. This first volume of Green Lantern AFTER Geoff Johns left was always going to be a severe letdown wasn’t it? It’s why I left the GL mythos alone for a long while and I certainly did not have very high hopes when I picked up this volume recently. There may not be much very original here – lots of colour-spectrum drama - and the big bad, Relic, may be pretty familiar (Galactus/Kronos etc) but the idea of ‘more-of-the-same’ is clearly what Dc were looking for at this point in their GL continuity. There are progressions, the destruction of OA is a big deal even if the red-herring ‘deaths’ of John Stewart and Kyle Rayner are not. The crossovers with the other GL titles are a tad annoying but the main storyline still makes sense in this form. What makes less sense – within the storyline – is the choosing of Hal Jordan as GL leader (definatly should have been John Stewart’s time to shine there!) the silly use (again) of Larfreeze and the bad-woman murdering a Lantern with the power of a newly acquired Star Sapphire (love?!). The art remains good and while not as ground-breaking as the stuff that went before – this is a perfectly fine, engaging adventure amongst the cosmos.

Green Lantern(new52) #21〜26, #23.1:Relic, Green Lantern annual #2を収録。 vol.3 The ENDからの続きです。 なお Green Lantern vol.5 〜Test of Wills〜 が次巻です。 #20でジェフジョンランタンがついに完結し、バトンはRobert Vendittiに渡されます。また#20のエピローグで語られた主人公達のその後は一旦なかった事になり、直後から物語は再開します。 ヴォルソームとの闘いにより甚大な被害を受けたグリーンランタンコァ。人員確保のために新米ランタンの指導にあたるハルだったが..... そして圧倒的な科学力を持つ巨人、リリックが現れ銀河は再び脅威に晒される！！ ☆なお、本作はGreenLantern:Lights Out編の大筋も収録されており多少我慢すればLights Out編を買わなくても楽しめます。(全容を理解したい方はNew Guardians誌の#23,24だけチェックすれば十分です。) Lights Out編のメインヴィランであるリリックですが、宇宙版ラーズアルグールといえるような事情の持ち主で、事件解決後も銀河に疑問を投げ掛けます。 (個人的には最近のGLヴィランの中で最も気に入ったキャラクターです！) #20で止まっている方もぜひ一度、#21以降に進んでみて下さい。ジェフジョンランタンにはなかった面白みが見つかるはずです。

I just had it delivered yesterday and I read it straight through today. It was a great read and Robert Venditti picked up where Geoff Johns beautifully left off. The artwork was insane and the ideals and morals presented within this volume were great for thought. I hope that elements of this story get incorporated into the new Green Lantern Corps movie.

The story style died a little, but it is still a good read! The story was intense and the plot was easy to follow. I highly recommend giving this a try! Robert V. did a great job, but Geoff J. will be missed.

El cómic llegó en excelente estado. Si eres fan de GL no dudes en adquirir este recopilatorio. Las mejores historias de GL de los New 52 son los primeros 4 tomos.
