Because his book was dull and it felt like editorial didn't know what to do with the character, and this book was just them throwing a bone to them that wasn't even a good wishbone or femur to knaw on. New Guardians IIRC pissed a lot of Kyle fans off. (Which, btw becomes a shame when they later try to move Razor back into the comics but then it kind of falls flat.) You haven't even gotten to the point where it gets truly bonkers, where Guy Gardner and Supergirl become Red Lanterns and even then it never quite lives up to its promise. But mostly, it's just a disappointing book, and the Green Lantern cartoon exemplifies how great the Red Lanterns could have been if there had been real thought and planning put into them. It actually does get more interesting/has direction later on once the other Red Lanterns begin getting personalities. Honestly, it might be their best feature.
Issue 1 might as well be issue 68 of the last series.
Not that I don't enjoy Hal and Sinestro's dick measuring contest, but there are more interesting characters in GLC.Īlso, these books don't even pretend to part of a reboot. It is nominally the #2 book in the line, but I like Guy and John's adventures with the whole team. If my memories of how much I liked the comics is true, I am going to echo the following sentiment when I get to the Batman books, but as much as I like Johns' Green Lantern run - and I think it is quite good, especially when Mahnke is on art - I think I prefer Peter Tomasi's Green Lantern Corps. I like him fine, but I'm not reading books just to get more of him. Maybe people who are a lot more investing in Kyle as a character would get more out of this book. It definitely got a lower tier set of artists, and Tony Bedard has carved out a career writing adequate comics. He immediately starts to believe she is plotting against him. At one point Atrocitus (A+ villain name) makes another Red Lantern more than just an incoherent rage machine, giving himself a second in command. They don't really do anything except pose and shout. Its first 12 issues are mostly space monsters standing around vomiting laser blood and talking about how angry they are. I'm through the first dozen or so issues of each series, reading them in conjunction because year 2 is basically the year of the crossover. I've recently moved onto to reading the Green Lantern N52 books.
