Some thoughts about Future State: Green Lantern #2


Where is the Green Lantern Corps?

John Stewart is trying to survive where his comrades fell while Hal Jordan is trying to find out what happened to all of them.

This series comes to a conclusion and it shows how consistent it was a whole.

Geoffrey Thorne finishes his story about John Stewart and there's not much of a plot and the dialogue can be a bit awkward (particularly the cough lines) but there intention of portraying John as a survival badass is sound and the action is fast-paced enough to make you ignore the issues. Tom Raney's artwork is pretty expressive and detailed.

There's actually a segment about Teen Lantern written by Josie Campbell that does a much better job than Brian Bendis' Young Justice did at justifying her as a character with an overall more interesting portrayal that actually has a focus and depicts her young nature perfectly. It was cool to see Grant Morrison's new Guardians too. Andie Tong's pencils are beautiful.

Finally, Robert Venditti of all people returns to write Hal Jordan. The story is centered around the search for the Corps (which makes sense considering how much of a role they paid in Venditti's run), the portrayal is appropriate and promises further developments in the future and I'm not necessarily against more Venditti on Green Lantern as long as is something different from what he did. Dexter Soy's kinetic style is always a pleasure.

Pretty solid overall, wish other Future State titles ended as such.
