Green Lanterns #39
Writer: Tim Seeley
Artist: Ronan Cliquet
Colorist: Hi-Fi
Publisher: DC Comics
I was honestly a bit wary when Tim Seeley was going to take over Green Lanterns. Not because of the fact that I think he is a bad writer, but because I did enjoy Sam Humphries run on Green Lantern. So, as I began Seeley’s run I felt that the first arc was alright, it wasn’t bad but it wasn’t good. So, it is really cool to see how my opinion has risen with each issue, and how this issue has come back full circle with the first arc.
I feel that with Seeley’s run, the strength of the series comes from the characterization. The characterization of the Green Lanterns, and also the supporting characters is very well done. The strongest characters have been Podfather and the Regent as you see how even though they do have differences they have similarities, such as how they both care for their people.
The display of Liseth’s various powers really looks cool and the art by Ronan Cliquet is really great, especially in the fight scenes. Liseth’s motivations are clearly meant to parallel hatred for immigrants, however I do feel that the book does little to convey both sides which does make Liseth feel like something to punch at the end of the day.
In conclusion, this issue made me more excited for what Tim Seeley will do with the future of the Green Lanterns. Sam Humphries relied on the Green Lantern continuity for his series, but Seeley is really creating his own mythos and both work.
