Then we get 10 pages of them being best friends. It's been building for 5 issues and Red Dawn is over in 3 pages. So she makes a ridiculous flower construct and one panel later, she destroys the Hell Tower and "Beats" the Red Lanterns. Honestly, I'm not sure what they're going to do with this book now that Jessica became a Super Green Lantern in the span of 4 panels. This entire first arc has done nothing but beat us over the head with the fact that you both suck at your jobs but in different ways. I'm Jessica and I'm a worse Green Lantern than Simon because I'm scared." We get it. I'm Simon and I'm a crappy Green Lantern.Hi.
#RED LANTERN OATH SUCKS SERIES#
Six issues in to this series and we still get, "Hi. That is, if Atrocitus gets his way.Īre we seriously going to start EVERY issue with the same introduction. Plus, we have ourselves a new development that will add to the problems that Lanterns of every spectrum will have to deal with. I just hope that we can continue with the upbeat nature that we had at the end of the book because we're finally getting everything that I wanted this series to be. With that, the art and colors in this book were fantastic and everything looked amazing. Yeah, we needed that to have this sort of satisfaction here, but with it being as quick as turning on a light switch, it just feels like it could have been played a little more organic. Gone was the bickering and the self doubt that has plagued this series and really brought the fun of reading this down and it was replaced with something that I can't wait to see more of now that we're out of "but I have anxiety" territory. There's mutual respect going on and even joy expressed from both characters over her being a bad ass. That's it for this issue of Green Lanterns and even though Jessica's sudden ability to create constructs came a bit out of nowhere, this issue because of that sudden talent became one of the most enjoyable because after Jessica saves the day, Simon and her actually have a conversation that was fun and pleasant to read.
