Some thoughts about Green Lantern Annual #2

The final confrontation between Relic and the Corps will decide the future of the universe.

Despite of their best efforts all different Corps are still being overwhelmed by Relic's power and for that reason the situation will require desperate actions from some of them. Still, even if the Corps win will that be enough?

This was the last part of the initial story that Robert Venditti has been planning since the beginning of his run starting with issue 21 and as a conclusion it works but not spectacularly.

It's pretty obvious that Venditti and DC's editors are trying to follow the same type of cosmic events that Geoff Johns introduced to the franchise and in that matter is serviceable, it has good character moments from each member of the cast (especially from John Stewart who used to be pretty ignored on Johns' run), the story and action progress effectively and the ending promises to have huge ramifications to the Green Lantern universe.

Still, this was a bit uderwhelming. This was solid enough as I said but not something truly impressive, neither as a story nor as an event and certainly not as good as an event written by Johns. It seems that while Venditti is following the direction previously established on the series he's not really apt to make this kind of big crossover storylines (at least not yet).

Sean Chen handles the art and his work is pretty competent. Expressive when it needs to be and action focused when it needs to be.

This was solid definitely but I still feel it lacks something (pretty much what I feel about the whole Venditti's run so far). However, the future looks interesting enough to still be invested.
