Some thoughts about Green Lantern: Blackstars #2

What happened to Hal Jordan's world?

Hal has been brainwashed by the Blackstars' cause but even they can't stop his true nature to fight back.

Better than the "first" issue but still not quite there.

Grant Morrison delivers a new installment of his ongoing Green Lantern run where he follows his usual tropes. The references to the multiple retcons in continuity is there as you would expect from the author including the mention of how Superman used to wear a t-shirt and jeans when Hal left Earth (although it makes me think that Morrison just can't let go the fact that his Superman reboot is no longer in canon) and it makes the read richer.

The background of the Blackstars is further explored including the history of their leaders and how that motivates them for their mission. Mind you, while interesting, this doesn't quite reach the best issues from Morrison's own work on The Green Lantern and considering this run is about to end, I'm not really expecting much from the conclusion.

Xermanico's art is solid, following a similar style as Liam Sharp in both storytelling and tone.

Decent enough but let's see how it all ends.
